Software License Metric (SLM) tag files

FTM automatically generates SLM tag files that allow the FTM applications to be monitored by the IBM® License Metric Tool.

The SLM tag files are written to the Workpath of the integration node. One file is written each day for each integration server. The file is appended over the course of the day at the interval that is defined for the UsageCountFlow in the FTM Core Flows library.

The Workpath of the integration node can be checked from the IBM App Connect Enterprise command console by issuing the echo command for the MQSI_WORKPATH environment variable.

At regular intervals, FTM checks for, and attempts to remove, the SLM tag files that were created in the calendar month that is six months before the current month. The check is done based on the file name, and not the age of the file.
