The IBM® Tivoli® License Manager (ITLM) product is used to detect where IBM products are both installed and running. ITLM is installed with each of the IBM WebSphere® software for Telecom products.
The ITLM inventory signature file uniquely identifies the product and is installed with the TWSS EAR file, which is treated as an application by WebSphere Application Server. The inventory signature is located within the EAR file in the TIVREADY subdirectory, and its name is IMSTWS0700.SYS2.
Each TWSS subcomponent comes with a license file that is not associated with ITLM enablement, but is still important for licensing purposes. Each of these text files specifies the customer's entitlement of installation and use of a specific TWSS subcomponent.
The ITLM usage signature, generated by the Software Catalogue Signature team, is used to identify each component as a J2EE product.
