Re: License Write Token Message (U)

2006-10-18 Thread Michiel Beijen

thinking about it, when I leave my PC on and the user tool active
during the night and come in the office the next day I will NOT get
such a message. But this is probably because we recycle our
state-of-the-art ar 5.1.2 server at night because of memory leak
issues on HP-UX and because of an off-line backup of our Oracle
8.1.7.4 db.

I've got a floating license on my regular user account as well and I

User and my floating license is not used for the period defined in the
Server Information - Timeouts - Floating License timeout, my license
will fall back to a read license and will no longer consume a license
from the pool.
If I start using Remedy User again after this period, I will get the
mentioned message. My understanding was, that this is as designed.
If this is not the case, please let me know.

Kind regards,

 There was a lengthy discussion not too long back around whether people
 are granted a write token when they are authenticated.  The conclusion
 I drew/observed is that people are not automatically granted a
 floating write token when authenticated (if a floating license is
 allocated to that account), but as soon as the user performs a
 get/set/delete/create/merge entry operation, a floating write token is
 allocated.  There was a bug with earlier (6.0.1 p147x and earlier)
 where a floating write token is allocated when a preference server is
 used, but this has been reported to be fixed, though I have yet to
 confirm this fix.

 You may try grabbing the aruser.log and arapi.log files and see
 whether a get/set/create entry operation is performed by the account
 at the time the popup/write upgrade happens.

 If this does happen to be the cause, I'm sure a way can be found to
 automatically grant a write token at login time (have init form
 perform an update, etc.).

You can suppress the message. However, you should also look into the usage of your Float licenses. This message only appears if an action that would use a Write token had occurred and none were available. By examining who and what is being done and the relationship to the use of float licenses, you can be proactive. It is not nice to get a call from an aggravated manager
