About this task
- Create a text file with the name rational.opt or
ibmratl.opt in the rational_dir\common directory. You can use the template rational.opt.txt to create
the options file.
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.
The
rational daemon serves licenses for Rational Team software. The ibmratl
daemon serves licenses for Rational Software Delivery Platform software
- 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.
