Report Log Administration
Each time a report log is rotated, an archive report log file is copied to the machine on which the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications server resides, and this archive report log becomes available to report configurations. A copy is also retained on the FlexNet Agent machine in the data directory for the FlexNet Agent installation.
FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications archive logs are stored on the license server machine, with file names in the following format:
\<server_name\>-\<vendor_name\>-yyMMddhhmmssSSS-\<sequence_number\>.rl
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| <server_name> | Name of the license server host. |
| <vendor_name> | Name of the vendor daemon. |
| yyMMddhhmmssSSS | Timestamp (in 24-hour format) corresponding to the time at which the report log is rotated by the vendor daemon, local to the system that originally created the report log. |
| <sequence_number> | A running sequence number that the FlexNet Agent appends to the file name. This ensures uniqueness if the report log is rotated twice within the same second. |
For example, consider the archive report log with the name:
TestLicenseServer1-avend10-131103104137-401.rl
This file was written on November 3, 2013 at 10:41:37 by the vendor daemon avend10 on the license server TestLicenseServer1.
Rotated report logs are stored with unique file names on the machine on which FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications resides. Each time the active report log is rotated, a new archive file is created.
Report log archives accumulate to a sizable quantity over time on the license server machine. Consider deleting older archive files that are no longer needed.
