Creating an Options File

To create an options file:

1.

Use the appropriate options listed in Options File Syntax to create the options file for a vendor daemon using any text editor.

2.

Locate the options file anywhere; however, it is recommended that the options file be placed in the same directory as the license file.

3.

Add the path to the options file in the license file as the fourth field on the VENDOR line for the application’s vendor daemon. For example:

VENDOR sampled /etc/sampled \
      [OPTIONS=]/sample_app/sampled/licenses/sampled.opt

enables the sampled vendor daemon to look at the specified options file.

If the path is omitted, the vendor daemon automatically looks for a file according to the following criteria:

•

The name of the file is vendor.opt, where vendor is the vendor daemon name.

•

The directory that contains the license file used by the license server manager.

 

Note:The default options file name, vendor.opt, was introduced in the version 6 vendor daemon.
