Defining Input and Output Files
You can generate a single report from one or more FlexNet Licensing report logs, written by one or more vendor daemons, as long as each report log is written by a single vendor daemon running on a single host (vendor daemons running on more than one server must each write to their own report logs). The report log files must be locally accessible (via NFS) to FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Reporting. If you want to use more than one report log, enter the path to each report log separately. If you use -input (which is optional in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications, as the report logs have already been loaded to the database), these paths must not contain spaces.
-input input_filename1 [input_filename2 ...]
However, if you have one or more input files (on Windows) whose names contain spaces, specify those files one at a time with -input_single rather than -input and surround the file name with double quotes. For example:
-input_single "file name 1" -input_single "file name 2"
Writing an output file is mandatory for reports with text, HTML, RIF, or JPEG/HTML output. To specify output, you must provide the output format(s) and an output file name base (including path). The paths must not contain spaces.
-output_format1 -output_format2 ... -output output_filename_base
The same file name base is used for all of the output files written during the generation of a report. The file name extension is added automatically, depending on the report format (.html, .txt, .rif, or .jpg/.htm).
