The information on this page refers to License Statistics v4.19 or newer, which introduced a new Report Service port. If you are running a previous version of License Statistics, please see v4.9 documentation, v4.0 documentation or documentation for versions older than v4.0. |
Before running License Statistics, you must edit the configuration file, xflicstat.cfg, located in the License Statistics directory.
For Windows, the configuration file opens automatically upon completion of the License Statistics installation. You can also open the file at any time from the License Statistics program group (Start > Program Files > X-Formation > License Statistics > Configuration).
Replace the existing information in the configuration file with your site-specific information as needed. When upgrading License Statistics, please use the content from the backup configuration file. The configuration file includes instructions that describe each setting in the file. Settings include:
- Installation directory path
- MySQL server, port and login settings
- License Statistics database name
- RPC server port
- Report Service port (by default 8060)
- Apache server port number
- HTTP base URL
- Enabling and setting file paths to use Apache SSL
- Web server port
- Denied requests log feature versioning (IBM LUM)
After you have configured License Statistics, you are ready to start it as a service on Windows (see Starting and stopping License Statistics on Windows) or run it as a daemon on Linux (see Starting and stopping License Statistics on Linux). If License Statistics was already running when you made changes to the configuration file, you must restart License Statistics for any changes to the configuration file to take effect.
See the following sections for considerations when configuring License Statistics.
