Setting up processor value unit licensing

If you are using PVU licensing for the adapter, some setup is required, which includes copying license files to each endpoint system of an adapter session.

Processor Value Unit (PVU) licensing is one method of licensing software that is used by the adapter. For more information about PVU licensing, see Processor Value Unit [PVU] licensing for Distributed Software.

Before you begin

The adapter software is installed.

About this task

Copy a license file to each endpoint system that is the origin or destination of an adapter session. For example, the endpoints for adapter software can be one or more of the following locations:
  • One or more application servers (Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management, and Quality Management) that the adapter communicates with
  • One or more JIRA servers that the adapter application was installed in to

Procedure

  1. Change to the JIRAInstallDir/properties/version directory.
  2. If you have the adapter 1.1 software installed:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd-party_systems_-1.1.0.swtag from the directory properties/version to the directory properties/version for each Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management, and Quality Management application server that the adapter communicates with.
    2. Copy the directory properties/version, which contains two license files (IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition-1.1.0.swtag, IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd-party_systems_-1.1.0.swtag) to the root of the JIRA installed product for each JIRA server that the adapter application was installed in to.
  3. If you have the adapter 1.1.0.1 software installed:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd-party_systems_1.1.0.1-1.1.0.1.fxtag from the directory properties/version to the directory properties/version for each Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management, and Quality Management application server that the adapter communicates with.
    2. Copy the directory properties/version, which contains two license files (IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition_1.1.0.1-1.1.0.1.fxtag, IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd-party_systems_1.1.0.1-1.1.0.1.fxtag) to the root of the JIRA installed product for each JIRA server that the adapter application was installed in to.
  4. If you have the adapter 1.1.1 software installed:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integrations_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd_party_systems_-1.1.1.swtag from the directory properties/version to the directory properties/version for each Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management, and Quality Management application server that the adapter communicates with.
    2. Copy the directory properties/version, which contains two license files (IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integrations_Adapters_Standard_Edition-1.1.1.swtag, IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integrations_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd_party_systems_-1.1.1.swtag) to the root of the JIRA installed product for each JIRA server that the adapter application was installed in to.
  5. If you have the adapter 1.1.1.1 software installed:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd-party_systems_1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1.fxtag from the directory properties/version to the directory properties/version for each Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management, and Quality Management application server that the adapter communicates with.
    2. Copy the directory properties/version, which contains two license files (IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition_1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1.fxtag, IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Standard_Edition__3rd-party_systems_1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1.fxtag) to the root of the JIRA installed product for each JIRA server that the adapter application was installed in to.
    License files for 1.1, 1.1.0.1, 1.1.1, and 1.1.1.1 show in the location mentioned in the previous steps.

Results

Processor value unit licensing is set up on each endpoint system that is the origin or destination of an adapter session.
