Report Logs

Report log files contain feature usage information and are generated by vendor daemons. However, a vendor daemon does not write report logs by default; this action must be enabled. The data in report logs is compressed and authenticated and is used only by FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Reporting.

In the Report Logs page, you can view information for report logs that have been imported into FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications; the following information is displayed.

•

Status—Aggregating, Importing, Failed, or Complete—The value in the Status column indicates whether the report log is in the process of being aggregated, is in the process of being imported, the import has failed, or the import process is complete.

•

Vendor daemon name

•

License server host name

•

Start and end date of the log

•

Original file name

•

File size

To view report logs that have been imported into FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications:

From the Reporting tab, under Report Logs, click Report Log Summary.

Select the report log and click the Download button. FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications provides the report log in a .zip file and asks whether you want to open the .zip file or save it.

Click the Delete button for a report log to remove it.

Select multiple report logs for delete or download by selecting the check box to the left of the Status heading.

Note • A status of Aggregating indicates that data aggregation is in progress. Report logs cannot be deleted until the status is Complete.

You can import a report log using this page.

To rotate report logs, FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications must know the location of the report log by reading the report log name configured in the options file. If you change this location, you must update the options file with an absolute path to the report log. For example, if the report log resides at c:\vendors\report.rl, then you must specify c:\vendors\report.rl and not report.rl.
