I'm having a few problems with LMF including an understanding of how it
works.
If I run mflmadm from /usr/lib/cobol/lmf (installed by a 3rd-party:
MicroFocus Cobol)I get a form-based interface to enter license keys. When
this works I can see the keys I've entered for our MF-Cobol products. If I
run lmf from /usr/sbin I get a command-line type interface where I see all
the operating sytem related licenses (License PAKs). In /sbin/rc3.d there
is a system startup file S08startlmf that is supposed to start up the
license manager. This uses the command '/usr/sbin/lmf
{start|stop|restart}'.
I guess my basic questions are 1) what's the difference between the license
manager that is run from the cobol directory and the license manager that is
run from /usr/sbin? and 2) does each 3rd-party product have it's 'own' lmf
including the system which has its own lmf for system software?
Additionally, I can't get the License manager running.
'/sbin/rc3.d/S08startlmf start' doesn't start the license manager.
Also, it seems as if I've got lmf installed in three different places:
/usr/lib/cobol/lmf, /usr/lib/mflmf, and /usr/opt/cobol/lmf. mflmadm run the
form-based type interface (as opposed to the command-line type I get when
running /usr/sbin/lmf). I can get mflmadm to work in 1 directory
(/usr/lib/cobol/lmf) but in the other 2 directories when I run mflmadm I get
a mangled version of the form-based one. I'm in the same session, have the
same environment, etc. (TERM=vt100).
I apologize for this being somewhat vague, open-ended, and probably not too
clear but I've been thrasing around with this for a week now and have gotten
nowhere with it. Reading the man page (rtfmp ?) hasn't helped clear
anything up.
Thanks alot!
Andy
