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 Change and Configuration Management and Requirements
Management application servers that the adapter communicates with
- One or more HP Application Lifecycle Management servers that the
adapter communicates with
During the installation process, the license files are copied
for you to the adapter installation directory.
Procedure
- Change to the HPInstallDir/properties/version directory.
- If you have the adapter 1.1 software installed, 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
these locations:
- Each Change and Configuration Management and Requirements Management
application server that the adapter communicates with
- Each HP Application Lifecycle Management server that the adapter
communicates with. For each HP Application Lifecycle Management server,
you must create a directory properties/version in
the root of the HP ALM product to copy the license file into.
- If you have the adapter 1.1.0.1 software installed, 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
these locations:
- Each Change and Configuration Management and Requirements Management
application server that the adapter communicates with
- Each HP Application Lifecycle Management server that the adapter
communicates with. For each HP Application Lifecycle Management server,
you must create a directory properties/version in
the root of the HP ALM product to copy the license file into.
- If you have the adapter 1.1.1 software installed, 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
these locations:
- Each Change and Configuration Management and Requirements Management
application server that the adapter communicates with
- Each HP Application Lifecycle Management server that the adapter
communicates with. For each HP Application Lifecycle Management server,
you must create a directory properties/version in
the root of the HP ALM product to copy the license file into.
- If you have the adapter 1.1.1.1 software installed, 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
these locations:
- Each Change and Configuration Management and Requirements Management
application server that the adapter communicates with
- Each HP Application Lifecycle Management server that the adapter
communicates with. For each HP Application Lifecycle Management server,
you must create a directory properties/version in
the root of the HP ALM product to copy the license file into.
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.
What to do next
Set up the application server that you chose during the installation
process to run the adapter web application, see
Setting up the application server.
