Updating the device map to point to an IBM License Key Server

The IBM License Key Server that is used to distribute Rational® Tokens must be available through TCP/IP. It is likely that your installation already has such a server configured. Installation materials and documentation for the server are available on separate e-images that are included with the ZD&T offering.

When you are using Rational Tokens, an instance of ZD&T must be able to locate the specific IBM License Key Server you intend to use with that instance. The port and location of the server is specified either in the Linux® environment variable that is named RDTSERVER or in the device map. If both are specified, the device map setting is used. To enable Rational Tokens in the device map, add the rdtserver statement to the [system] stanza. For example, to have ZD&T retrieve Rational Tokens from port 27000 on a server at address sampsrvr.yournetwork.com, add the following line to your [system] stanza in the device map:
rdtserver 27000@sampsrvr.yournetwork.com

To have ZD&T retrieve Rational Tokens from port 27000 on a server at address sampsrvr.yournetwork.com, you can export the RDTSERVER environment variable in your .bashrc script. For example, if you run ZD&T with ID ibmsys1, you would edit /home/ibmsys1/.bashrc, and add the line:

export RDTSERVER=27000@sampsrvr.yournetwork.com
