Viewing a list of activated IBM InfoSphere DataStage editions and feature packs

Run the LicensingServiceAdmin command line tool to list the activated IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® editions and feature packs within your suite.

Before you begin

You must have at least Suite User authority.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the computer on which the LicensingServiceAdmin tool is installed:
    • If you have implemented IBM WebSphere® Application Server clustering within your installation, log in to the computer that hosts the WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager.
    • If you have not implement clustering, log in to the services tier computer.

    In either case, use an account that has execution permission for the tools in the ASBServer/bin directory, as described in the next step.

  2. Change to the ASBServer/bin directory within the directory in which IBM InfoSphere Information Server is installed. For example:
    • Linux cue graphicUNIX cue graphic cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin
    • Windows cue graphic cd C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBServer\bin
  3. Run the LicensingServiceAdmin command with the -list_features option.

    Instead of the -user and -password options, you can provide a credentials file with the -authfile option. If you do not provide a user, password, or credentials file, you are prompted for a user ID and password.

    Linux cue graphicUNIX cue graphic
    ./LicensingServiceAdmin.sh -user iauser -password iapswd -list_features
    Windows cue graphic
    LicensingServiceAdmin -user iauser -password iapswd -list_features
    In the command,
    • iauser is the name of a user that has suite user authority.
    • iapswd is the user password.
    The command lists the features that are activated. Deactivated features are not listed. For example:
    DS,DSServer,DSMVS,BalOpt,SAS,QS
    Enabled components:
       IBM InfoSphere DataStage
       IBM InfoSphere DataStage Server
       IBM InfoSphere DataStage MVS Edition
       IBM InfoSphere DataStage Balanced Optimization
       IBM InfoSphere DataStage Pack for SAS
       IBM InfoSphere QualityStage
       DataStage and QualityStage Administrator
       DataStage and QualityStage Director
       DataStage and QualityStage Designer
    Enabled features:
       job-type = DataStage
       job-type = QualityStage
       licensed-feature = BAL_OPT
       licensed-feature = SAS_PACK
       canvas = Parallel
       canvas = Server
       canvas = MVS

    Since IBM InfoSphere QualityStage® shares the InfoSphere DataStage components and client applications, it is also listed as one of the activated features if InfoSphere QualityStage is installed. Even though it is listed as one of the features, InfoSphere QualityStage cannot be activated or deactivated with the LicensingServiceAdmin tool. To activate InfoSphere QualityStage, install InfoSphere QualityStage by using the installation program. To deactivate InfoSphere QualityStage, uninstall InfoSphere QualityStage by using the software removal program.

    The list of enabled InfoSphere DataStage and InfoSphere QualityStage client applications is also shown. All three applications are enabled when InfoSphere QualityStage or any version of InfoSphere DataStage is installed. If IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer is installed without InfoSphere DataStage or InfoSphere QualityStage, then only the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage client is enabled.
