Borrowing a license to work offline

Replication Server

IBM AIX:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/sysam.boot

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02sysam

HP-UX:

ln -s /sbin/init.d/sysam.boot

/sbin/rc2.d/K002sysam

Note

The run number (2 above) should be chosen such that it is lower than

that of subsystems required by SySAM such as networking services and
higher than the run number of applications that require SySAM such as
Adaptive Server Enterprise.

Borrowing a license to work offline

Use the

lmborrow

option to check out licenses from the network license server,

if you will be disconnected from the network for extended period of time.

Replication Server periodically executes a “heartbeat” on the network license
server to update license status. If the machine running Replication Server is
disconnected from the network, these heartbeats fail and eventually the
software becomes unavailable. Borrowing a license before disconnecting from
the network suspends the heartbeat checks and provides full use of the software
while disconnected.

Specify the end time when you perform the borrow operation. At the end of the
lease, you can obtain a new lease by connecting back to the network. You can
also return a license earlier than the lease end time.

Note

You cannot borrow a license when you are use local license files.
