- Create a text file with the name rational.opt or
ibmratl.opt in the rational_dir\common directory.
Note:
If you use the rational daemon only, rename the file to rational.opt.
If you use the ibmratl daemon only, rename the file to ibmratl.opt. If you
use both rational and ibmratl daemons, you must create two options files:
rational.opt and ibmratl.opt.
- Enter a command line in the file to reserve or exclude licenses for specified
users. See Example 1 and Example 2 for examples
of command lines.
Table 1 lists
several options file command attributes.
