Running Jazz authorized user licenses reports

Understand the requirements for reporting against permanent Jazz™ client access licenses (CALs). Only user-based reports are supported. Also, reporting of trial licenses is not supported.

Before you begin

You must:

Use Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) 5.0 or later. These versions log the usage of Jazz authorized user licenses. For a comprehensive list of supported ELM versions and prerequisites, see the technical document.
Enable the calLogFile.csv file. See How do I enable the Jazz authorized user license log for the ELM server?. The calLogFile.csv file uses the UTC format for the time.

About this task

Jazz authorized user license reporting is only supported by the Jazz authorized user log file: calLogFile.csv. The calLogFile.csv file logs the license usage data at hourly intervals only. Other intervals are not supported. Hourly intervals are used to prevent large log files.

The log file contains the time, user ID, host application, product, CAL type, count, and log entry.

Procedure

Install or upgrade the server administration agent.
Note: During the agent installation or upgrade, you must select the agent type as ELM AU Server, and you must ensure that the agent uses the calLogFile.csv file.
Create a report definition.
Only user-based reports are supported.
Run the report definition.
Here is a sample report:

Note: When the license type is ELM AU, the values in the License Hours or Number of accesses column are the number of accesses, not the license hours.
