Using the IBM Tivoli License Manager

To help you with maintainability and serviceability, the IBM® Tivoli® License Manager, which is installed with IBM Mobile Portal Accelerator, detects where IBM products are both installed and running.

Overview

The IBM Tivoli License Manager (ITLM) product is used to detect where IBM products are both installed and running. This release of Mobile Portal Accelerator is compatible with ITLM server version 3.0.
Note: The ITLM agent version 3.0 might not be compatible with all versions of the operating systems supported by Mobile Portal Accelerator. Review the ITLM documentation carefully to determine which operating systems, maintenance levels, and Linux kernel versions are supported.

Inventory Signature

The ITLM inventory signature file, .swtag, uniquely identifies the product and is installed in the wp_root/wp.mobile/wp.mobile.mwp/properties/version directory. The following is the format of the signature file's contents, along with the values that are used for Mobile Portal Accelerator version 8.0:
<product_identifier><version><release>.swtag
where
  • <product_identifier> is IBM_Mobile_Portal_Accelerator
  • <version> is 8.0
  • <release> is 0.0

License file

Mobile Portal Accelerator comes with a license file that is not associated with ITLM enablement, but is still important for licensing purposes. This license file specifies the customer's entitlement of installation and use of the product. This is installed in the wp_root/wp.mobile/wp.mobile.mwp/shared/app/license directory.

Usage Signature

The ITLM usage signature, generated by the Software Catalogue Signature team, is used by Mobile Portal Accelerator to identify it as a J2EE product.
