Good Morning,

we have installed two servers with 8.1 DOORS and DOORSNET on windows server 2003.
One for production and the second one für testing new Releases. The FlexLicense-Server runs on the production.

The DOORS-Client on Test is working fine. We also want to run a DOORSnet-Server on the test maschine.

DOORSnet is not working (error message: Can not contact DOORS Session Manager), because the Doors Session Manager on Test is not starting.
We receive the following message with startup of the DOORS Session Manager on Test
"Flex license error: Licensed number of users already reached". FLEXnet Licensing error 4,132.

If I use the DOORS Session Manger on Production (Hint in "Managing DOORSnet, Publishint data in multiple DOORS databases) I am able to login trough DOORSnet - Server on Test, but im only getting the production database.

Got anyone a similar problem to give me a hint?

Thank you in advance

Andrea

The obvious next question is - how many DOORSNet licences do you have? Our Flex reports for licence usage indicate that we have only one DOORSNet licence, despite several users being able to use DOORSNet at the same time. However, whoever picks up the DOORSNet licence first, locks the net server to one database, which sounds very similar to your problem.

This doesn't help you much, because we haven't found a way around it yet (no pressure from users to date). But maybe it will point you in the direction of the right question, even if not the answer...

Paul.

Hi Paul,

thank you for the quick reply. We also have only one license für DOORSnet. Now I understand the hint with "Only one doors session manager" in "Managing DOORSnet" because the session manager contacts the FLEXnet license server.

So the question changes to

How to work with :

- one license server
- one session manager
- two server
- two databases

May I have two DOORSnet Server? The aim is to have the possibility to test a update of the DOORSnet before releasing it to all users.

curious
Andrea

Now you're beyond me! I only dabble at the 'upper reaches' of DOORS, doing information architecture, process and the DXL to support it. I leave all the IT stuff to our IT guys, and they tend to set it up and leave it alone. I AM nosey, so I tend to spot oddities like the 'one DOORSNet licence' thing.

Maybe when the US wakes up in a couple of hours there will be someone able to answer this kind of question.

Paul.

How to do this is quite well described in the Managing DOORSnet manual, read the section Publishing data in multiple DOORS databases (Page 19 on DOORSnet 8.1 manual).

You can have only one Session Manager running accessing your only DOORSnet license, but simultanously have many DOORSnet DB Servers publishing data from many DOORS databases, these all will then connect to the one DOORSnet Session manager.

Andrea,

Telelogic support previously told me that:

quote:

When you are licensing DOORSNet, that has nothing to do with how many DOORS databases you are having. If you want to use multiple DOORSNet "servers" it's enough to point them to one unique DOORSNet Session manager. The DOORSNet Session manager is the one that is licensed.

You cannot have multiple session managers pointing to the same license file and on top of that you cannot two DOORSNet license file run by the same license server in the same time. So basically you will need another license server for every separate DOORSNet session manager. This is a very rare situation because our customers that use more than one DOORSNet server are using only one DOORSNet session manager.


In my own words, you can only license one DOORSnet session manger from any one FLEXlm license pool.
