Editing the Reservation File on Windows (WlsGrMgr)
On Windows computers, the WlsGrMgr utility can be used to create or
edit a reservation file. You can call WlsGrMgr from within WlmAdmin by
using the WlmAdmin Edit > Reservation File command.
Note: If
you create a new reservation file in a directory containing an existing
reservation file, WlsGrMgr will
append a number to the name of the new reservation file to avoid overwriting
the existing one (for example, lreserv1,
lreserv2, and so on).
- Using Windows
Explorer, navigate to the location of the
Wlsgrmgr.exe file. Double-click the file to access the WlsGrMgr
screen (the exact location of the file depends on your application vendor’s
installation directory).
- To make a new
reservation file, select the New
command from the File menu. Or
use the Open command on the File menu to edit an existing reservation
file.
- To add definitions
for who can use license tokens for specific licenses, select Add
from the Feature menu.
The Add License Reservation Wizard appears.
- Click
Next. The wizard asks for the feature name, feature version, and
capacity of the license. After entering that information, click Next.
- If your feature is a
capacity feature the wizard will ask you to specify the type of capacity
reservation. You can specify if the capacity reservation is for teams,
users/hosts, or non-capacity shared license. Next, the wizard will prompt
you to specify the Team group name,
Tokens and Capacity
for the team.
- If you feature is a non-capacity
feature the wizard asks for a Group name
and the number of tokens to reserve
for that group.
- After specifying
the above details the Wizard prompts
you to specify the members of the group. Click Add
to add a member.
- If your feature is a
capacity feature you need to specify the Team
Id and also if the team is allowed or not allowed to run the application.
You can also specify the member groups.
- If your feature is a
non-capacity feature the wizard asks for Name of the Member,
if the specified member is a User
or a Machine and also if the member
is allowed or not allowed to run the application.
- Click OK
to finish the definition. Once one or more users are defined, you can click Remove
All to remove all of them and start over or select a specific member
and click Remove to remove just
that member.
- Click
Finish to go back to the main screen. The groups and members are
updated on the WLSGRMGR main screen.
- After at least
one feature has been defined, you can define another group to use that
feature. To add a new group select Add
from the Group menu. Do
not add the same users or computers to different groups using the same
feature.
- After specifying
your choices, restart
the license server.
Note: The
Add License Reservation Wizard
shows the Feature
Version as an optional field.
So, for a license having both feature name & version, the version
must be specified but for a license having only feature name but no version,
this field must be left blank.
