Supplement to the Command Reference Guide on clearlicense -release

Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

This document is meant to serve as a supplement to the IBM® Rational® ClearCase® [<i>]Command Reference Guide[</i>] on the topic of [<b>]clearlicense -release[</b>] concerning limit on the number of times per day that the albd_server process will allow [<b>]clearlicense -release[</b>] to be used.

Content

The IBM Rational ClearCase Reference on the topic of clearlicense (cleartool man clearlicense) states the following:

"To discourage license battles among users, albd_server prevents this option from being used an excessive number of times during any single day."

The limit is 24 times per day, or twice the number of user accounts for that license per day, whichever is greater.

Example:

If you have 20 ClearCase licenses and 10 ClearCase MultiSite® licenses, you could use clearlicense -release 40 times per day on the ClearCase licenses and 24 times per day on the ClearCase MultiSite licenses.

Note: This limit is counted for each individual ClearCase product associated with a single license server.

Once the limit is reached, running clearlicense -release will result in the following error:

clearlicense: Error: Exceeded per day release limits.  User jdoe not released.


There is no means by which this limit can be modified.
