Hi,

Have you encountered this problem before?
Is there any third party software that can help to minimise this problem? How many are they? Which is the most commonly used?Any input is deeply appreciated. Thanks You.

Try resetting your Baan licence daemon. There may be some "ghost" users utilising licences.

We have a cron job that runs every night passing the licmon6.1 -k and rc.start_licd commands.

You need to be careful when running this as some jobs that may be running could be disconnected from Baan.

This software will automatically close any baan user sessions that have been inactive for a certain period of time

see www.am-connect.com they are a reseller in europe

we have a big trouble w/ Baan_IV_B2 licenca avery time the baan system advise us that not have licenca to connect, and is we run an automatic process to clean the licenca. we need know if have any process/program to monitoring the licenca in Baan_IV_B2 system.

Hello,

licmon6.1 -h shows all available options.

Usage: licmon6.1 [-vVdbBwkusc][-h host][-p num]
-v : show version
-b : show brandinfo
-B : show brandinfo from brandfile and shared memory
-C : clear brandinfo from shared memory
-w : show users
-W : show other connections
-a : show all connections
-p [num] : check connections (ping)
-k : kill server
-u : show usercount
-s : show statistics
-c : cleanup orphaned local licences

as you can see above, licmon doesnt require a tutorial as there are only a few functions. I'm sure there are various threads on baanboard regarding licence monitoring.

BTW, I notice this is added to an old thread - the latest place to find closeidle is http://www.closeidle.co.uk

I have implemented a solution for the "maximum number of users reached" in Baan 4 for AIX. My solution looks for user inactivity in the last 30 minutes and also checks if the user has oppenend any Baan session that creates any application block in the system (like for example the mantain sales order lines session - tdsls4105s000).

If the previous condition doesn't happen then the license is freed. This can be scheduled in the crontab and run automatically in background. I have tested this with a company with 40 concurrent licences and 80 registered users and it works very well without user disturbance (only you have to communicate the users that their session would be closed if they have more than 30 minutes of inactivity). This has saved the company the investment in 10 more licences (more less US$ 35,000 in new licences cost + US$ 7,000 of anual support/maintenance).

If you have tryied alternative standard solutions like changing the Baan BW SESSION_TIMEOUT parameter, ds_max_wait or so on, then you can realize about the benefits of this solution.

If you are interested in implementing this solution in you company you can contact me at cedelgadoc@hotmail.com.

Hi Carlos,

Please don't post the same message all over the board. If you want to make a commercial type of announcement then open a thread of your own in the appropriate forum.

Hi,
In our setup of licmon6.1, there is no option for clean up orphaned local licences.
All the options except -c is present.

-v : show version
-b : show brandinfo
-B : show brandinfo from brandfile and shared memory
-C : clear brandinfo from shared memory
-w : show users
-W : show other connections
-a : show all connections
-p [num] : check connections (ping)
-k : kill server
-u : show usercount
-s : show statistics

May i please know the reason.

Most likely you use an older version. Which one you can determine by using the -v option.

Hi, thx for the reply. Here,

Portingset: 6.1c.06.07 and OS release: HPUX11.00 is being used.

Is this the right version or which version do we need to use.

-GM

The licmon6.1 -c option the clean the orphaned licenses should be introduced with the 6.1c.07.xx porting sets.

Thanks for reply. Is there anyway to clean the orphaned licenses than using the licmon6.1.

I tried bshcmd6.1 -e <bshell id> being in bsp login. But it didnot work. I could still see the orphaned licenses in the list.

Can you please help me.

Thx

For older porting sets (before 6.1c.07) I don't see any smart possibility to clean the orphaned licenses without restarting the Baan licencing serive.

Thanks for the reply. I am very new to Baan-Unix administration. Can you please let me know the usage of licd6.1. If i need to restart the licenses how can i do it using licd6.1.

Thx
-GM

Hi,

You first have to stop the license server
$BSE/bin/licmon6.1 -k
(wait some time to ensure that the process is shutdown completely)
Start the license process again
$BSE/bin/licd6.1

You must be 'root' to use this commands. Ideally (if possible) if no users are working in Baan.

Normally please use the serach function first for alreay discussed topics.

Juergen

Thanks for the reply!!!
