The Denied Requests Log works only with FLEXlm/FlexNet and IBM LUM, and is generated based on the denied user request data produced by the license server. For more information about the Denied Requests Log, see section 3.3, Denied Requests Log.
- To generate a Denied Requests Log for FLEXlm/FlexNet, you must have a FLEXlm/FlexNet debug log. The license server must be configured to store this log file. See the FLEXlm/FlexNet documentation for more information.
- To generate a Denied Requests Log for IBM LUM, you must first capture the usage statistics from the IBM LUM server using the following command:
i4blt -r 1 > i4blt.log
See the IBM LUM documentation for further information.
- You can import existing debug logs by putting them into the importlog directory. License Statistics will scan the file and put the contents into the database. You can see the import details in the log file.
After importing the data into the database, License Statistics deletes the original debug file. The imported data is then viewable in the License Statistics web application, where you will see that a new server with the gathering type "Imported" has been added to the server list. See section 6.6, Viewing feature usage for more information about viewing denials in the web application.
