This
method of rotating a report log is recommended if you are not using SAMsuite.
Start lmtools. In the Service/License
File tab, select the license server whose report log you want to
rotate. Click the Switch Report Log tab. Enter the Vendor Name and
the New Report Location. Be sure to specify a new file name (do
not reuse the old file name) for the new report log. Click the Switch
Report Log button.
Edit the options file with the new report
log path and file name. If the license server goes down and comes
back up, the vendor daemon will read its options file and will continue
to write to the new report log. For redundant license servers, update
each of the three options files.
Move the closed report log to where it
can be accessed for reporting and storage. You will move one report
log for a single license server and up to three report logs for
a redundant license server.
Eventually you will not need to run reports
on some of your old report logs. Those report logs can be compressed
and archived to a location that does not necessarily need to be
accessed by SAMreport-Lite.
