Central configuration

Configuring utilization tracking the same for all compiler users is very important, because it can ensure the accuracy of your utilization tracking, and minimize your configuration and maintenance effort. You can achieve this by ensuring that all users use the same utilization tracking configuration file.

If you have only one installation of the compiler, you can directly edit the utilization tracking configuration file. Every compiler user can automatically use that configuration file.

If you have multiple installations of the compiler, you need to maintain a single utilization tracking config file and reference it from all installations. Any changes you make to the utilization tracking configuration file, including enabling or disabling utilization tracking, can automatically apply to all compiler installations when users invoke the compiler. In each installation, there is a symlink named urt_client.cfg, located in usr/vac/urt. Modify the symlink to point to this shared instance of the configuration file.

If the compiler is installed on multiple machines, the utilization tracking configuration file needs to be placed on a network file system, such as NFS, DFS, or AFS, to be used by the compiler on each machine.

Note: If it is not possible for you to use a single utilization tracking configuration file for all compiler users, you must ensure all utilization tracking configuration files for each compiler installation are consistent. Using different configurations for the same compiler is not supported.
