Setting up processor value unit pricing for the software

Rational® Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition uses a pricing structure that is based on processor value unit (PVU) licensing. Before, you can measure PVUs, you must set up PVU licensing for the software.

For more information about PVU licensing, see Processor Value Unit [PVU] licensing for Distributed Software.

Before you begin

The adapter software is installed.

About this task

You copy a license file to each endpoint system that is the origin or destination of an adapter session. For example, the endpoints for adapter software can be one or more of the following locations:
  • One or more Change and Configuration Management application servers that the adapter communicates with
  • One or more 3rd-party application servers that the adapter communicates with
  • One or more TasktopSync servers that the adapter software was installed in to

Procedure

  1. Change to the directory where you extracted the disk image or insert the product DVD and change to the License directory.
  2. If you installed the 1.1 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition_-_No_Charge-1.1.0.swtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.
    2. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition_-_Charged-1.1.0.swtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1/Licenses to the directory properties/version for these locations:
      • Each Rational Team Concert™ server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.
  3. If you installed the 1.1.0.1 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition_-_No_Charge_1.1.0.1-1.1.0.1.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.0.1/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.

      • Each Rational Team Concert server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.
  4. If you installed the 1.1.0.2 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__No_Charge_1.1.0.2-1.1.0.2.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.0.2/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.
    2. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__Charged_1.1.0.2-1.1.0.2.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.0.2/Licenses to the directory properties/version for these locations:
      • Each Rational Team Concert server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.
  5. If you installed the 1.1.0.3 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__No_Charge_1.1.0.3-1.1.0.3.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.0.3/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.
    2. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__Charged_1.1.0.3-1.1.0.3.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.0.3/Licenses to the directory properties/version for these locations:
      • Each Rational Team Concert server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.
  6. If you installed the 1.1.1 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integrations_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition_-_No_Charge-1.1.1.swtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.1/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.
    2. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integrations_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition_-_Charged-1.1.1.swtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.1/Licenses to the directory properties/version for these locations:
      • Each Rational Team Concert server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.
  7. If you installed the 1.1.1.1 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__No_Charge_1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.1.1/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.
    2. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__Charged_1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.1.1/Licenses to the directory properties/version for these locations:
      • Each Rational Team Concert server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.
  8. If you installed the 1.1.1.2 software:
    1. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__No_Charge_1.1.1.2-1.1.1.2.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.1.2/Licenses to the root of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Tasktop Edition installed product.
    2. Copy the license file named IBM_Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters_Tasktop_Edition__Charged_1.1.1.2-1.1.1.2.fxtag from the directory Rational_Lifecycle_Integration_Adapters-Tasktop_Edition_1.1.1.2/Licenses to the directory properties/version for these locations:
      • Each Rational Team Concert server (Change and Configuration Management application) that the adapter communicates with
      • Each 3rd-party application server that the adapter communicates with. For each server, you must create a directory properties/version in the root of the installed product to copy the license file into.

    License files for 1.1, 1.1.0.1, 1.1.0.2, 1.1.0.3, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1, and 1.1.1.2 show in the location mentioned in the previous steps.

Results

Processor value unit licensing is set up on each endpoint system that is the origin or destination of an adapter session.
