Activating LM-X Autoconfigurator

warning

Make sure that LicenseAnalyzer is activated.

LM-X Autoconfigurator is active by default; make sure it is activated to turn on the automatic configuration of LM-X data collection. If it is inactive, follow these instructions to activate:

Windows

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   cd $BIN_DIR
   Example

   cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

3. Once in the directory, activate the automatic configuration of the license data collection, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   openit_oconfinit -u "C:/Program Files/OpeniT/Core/Configuration/module-activation/license_analyzer.root.licenseanalyzer.autoconfigurator.active=true"

4. To activate the automatic configuration of the LM-X license servers, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   openit_oconfinit -u "C:/Program Files/OpeniT/Core/Configuration/module-activation/license_analyzer.root.licenseanalyzer.autoconfigurator.lmx.active=true"

5. By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the LM-X autoconfigurator immediately, run the appropriate command based on your system setup:

   • For a coexistent Open iT setup (Core Server and Client on the same machine), run the command:

     Command Syntax

     openit_moduleactivator

   Command Syntax

   openit_licenseconfigbuilder
