Monitoring license use with the housekeeper task

After you configure the License Use Monitor, the housekeeper task determines how many user licenses are in use, based on the user ID and the host name of each user logged in to Adaptive Server. When the housekeeper task checks licenses, the License Use Monitor updates a variable that tracks the maximum number of user licenses in use:

The housekeeper task runs during Adaptive Server’s idle cycles. The housekeeper monitors the number of user licenses only if the housekeeper free write percent configuration parameter is set to 1 or greater.

For more information about the housekeeper task, see “housekeeper free write percent” and Chapter 3, “Using Engines and CPUs,” in the Performance and Tuning Guide.
