SAMreport is a report generator that records the license use of FLEXnet-licensed applications. SAMreport records license use based on license activity recorded in the FLEXnet report logs, and on selected criteria that includes product and feature name, user, date and time, and display or host.
The SAMreport install program is on the Database Expert installation media in the \samreport directory.
The recommended %SAMreport_home% location
is %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\samreport.
SAMreport provides these report types:
Usage Over Time – produces a line graph that shows the maximum number of licenses in use over a period of time.
High Water Mark – produces a line graph that shows the maximum number of licenses used during the specified time period.
Summary Barchart – provides a format to compare license use across users and features, based on calculations made in the Usage Summary report.
Usage Efficiency – shows how long each successive license for a given product was in use.
Usage Summary – produces text output that summarizes usage statistics for each product.
Server Coverage – documents the time during which the license server was servicing licenses.
Raw – shows individual use events, not a summary of license use. In general, a Raw report provides one line of data for every license checkout, listed in chronological order of check-in.
