What is SAMreport-Lite ?
SAMreport-Lite, a member of the GLOBEtrotter family of Software Asset
Management (SAM) Solutions, is a report generator that helps you monitor
the usage of applications that use FLEXlm. SAMreport-Lite complements
FLEXlm by providing a graphical user interface (GUI) from which to run usage
reports. SAMreport-Lite can help you make better decisions about your software
assets.
SAMreport-Lite generates reports based on the license usage activity recorded
in FLEXlm report logs. FLEXlm report logs are produced by vendor daemons
and maintain a record of the activity of the vendor daemon. “
Enabling and
Managing Report Logs
” on page 23 describes how to start and manage report
log files.
The SAMreport-Lite report generator comes with a predefined report type,
which allows you to quickly start generating reports. The report summarizes
data from your report logs into categories.
SAMreport-Lite processes the data from one or more report log files and writes
the results to a file and/or displays results on the screen. The Usage Summary
report produces a textual output that summarizes the usage statistics of each
feature. The output of this report can be saved to files in text, HTML, or Report
Interchange Format (RIF). RIF can be used to export report data to another
software program, such as a spreadsheet.
