OpenLM Broker configuration

OpenLM Broker reads the Venturis log file. Data is compiled and sent to OpenLM Server. License files are configured manually in Broker. Broker reads the log file and tracks session changes. The license file and options file are monitored for updates based on the configured Watch interval.

Configuring via Broker UI

1. Open a browser and go to http://localhost:5090/.

2. Go to License Managers -> Add license manager.

3. Select Venturis as the license manager type, enter the port (for example, 2679), and click Add.

4. In Settings, choose one of:

   • Detect license file path automatically
   • Set license file manually
   • Allow license file sorting
   • Watch license file

5. In Commands, set Executable path to the i4blt executable on the IBM LUM license server.

6. In Vendors, enter the correct vendor name.

7. Click Save.

Configure OpenLM Platform

1. Log in to OpenLM Platform.

2. From Menu, go to License Servers.

   

3. On left menu, select Pending Server

4. On the list, select the Venturis license manager and click on Approve and Merge

   

5. In OpenLM Web Interface -> Menu -> License Servers Live -> Server Statistics.

6. Ensure Venturis appears in the list with a green status indicator.

Note: It can take up to 3 minutes for the status to update for new connections.
