Setting up utilization tracking

You can use utilization tracking to detect whether the compiler usage exceeds your entitlement based on the number of concurrent user and authorized user licenses you have purchased.

IBM® XL Fortran for Linux supports IBM Software License Metric (SLM) Tags logging, which tracks compiler usage through IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT). The compiler logs compiler license usage in the SLM Tags format, to a location you can define by specifying the slm_dir attribute of the configuration file. The default location is /var/opt/ibm/xl-compiler/ for a default installation, or $prefix/var/opt/ibm/xl-compiler/ for a nondefault installation, where $prefix is the nondefault installation path. You must set up SLM Tags logging if you want to use it to track utilization. For more information, see Setting up SLM Tags logging in the XL Fortran Compiler Reference.
