Dear All,

Looking to assess how many licenses are being used against BAAN Triton. Is there any way to run a query on license usage over the last 6 months to determine real usage and by whom?

Please let me know your ideas ASAP.

Thanks & Regards,
Raja

Hello,

i use a cron driven script (every 10 minutes) to analyse the usage of the BaaN licences.


# Bernd Dittmar (01.06.2004)
# Script to write BaaN Licmon to /tmp/licuse.txt

BSE=/daten/bse
BSE_TMP=/daten/tmp

export BSE BSE_TMP

# Write Date to File
/usr/bin/date >> /tmp/licuse.txt
# Write used BaaN Licence to File
/daten/bse/bin/licmon6.1 -u >> /tmp/licuse.txt
/daten/bse/bin/licmon6.1 -w >> /tmp/licuse.txt

The created file looks like:

One of the logfiles in $BSE/log shows you the information you need. (License x of total y). However that doesn't contain the history of the last 6 months.

If you are lucky enough (!) to have an Infor Audit, their audit utility captures it all in great detail - but it doesn't look back in history. They usually let it run for about a month.

If u enable user history for all users , u can get the complete activity of a user while in baan with start/end times for each session .

I am using a script that stores the licens usage into a table that I run every hour. It can of course be run at a different time interval as needed. I then run a simple report on the table. I also have one for SLM since we are moving into that. But, it can not give you historic data of course.

Hi there,

you may look at some tables to retrieve history data which user was using baan.
The result will not be accurate, but may present some clues.
If you didn't purge the printer queue (I can't look up the table name atm, but it is a ttadv or ttaad table) you will at least find the names of all users that invoked printing.
Other tables like tdilc401 also keep user information.

For accurate information scripts like the ones mentioned above are needed.
