License usage metrics for IBM Datacap

IBM Datacap Taskmaster Server writes usage information to Software License Metric Tag (SLMTag) files. These files, with the extension as .slmtagand, are read periodically by the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) after it has been configured to scan for these files. You can generate reports that summarize usage. For more information about using IBM License Management Tool, see IBM License Metric Tool.

SLMTag logging

When IBM Datacap Taskmaster Server is running, license management information for unique users is logged hourly for reporting maximum concurrent users, and daily (24hrs) to report total number of licensed users to the /datacap/iso-swiddirectory on the Taskmaster Server. The logged .slmtag files contain usage information for standard user usage:

Standard user: The usage information that is logged is the number of licensed standard users in the system.
