Enabling IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) and Tivoli Asset Discovery for Distributed (TADd)

IBM® License Metric Tool (ILMT) and Tivoli® Asset Discovery for Distributed (TADd) can help you manage software usage metering and license allocation services on supported systems. In general, ILMT and TADd recognize and monitor the products that are installed and in use on your system.

ILMT and TADd are enabled for IBM XL C/C++ for AIX®, V13.1 for inventory support only, which means that ILMT and TADd can detect product installation of XL C/C++ but not its usage.

Note: ILMT and TADd are not a part of the XL C/C++ compiler offering, and must be purchased and installed separately.

Once installed and activated, ILMT and TADd scan your system for product inventory signatures that indicate whether a given product is installed on your system. ILMT and TADd also identify the version, release, and modification levels of the product. Inventory signature files are not updated after PTF installation.

If XL C/C++ is installed in the default location, the signature files are in the /opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.0/ directory. Otherwise, if XL C/C++ is installed in a non-default location, the signature files are in the /target_dir/opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.0/ directory, where target_dir is the target directory for installation specified by the -b option of the non-default installation script.
