Specifying Input Report Logs
The only valid input files are FLEXlm report logs. These report logs may have
been produced by redundant license servers or distributed license servers, or
they may simply be archived report logs from one or more license servers.
Report logs must be accessible to SAMreport-Lite
™
. “
Enabling and Managing
Report Logs
” on page 23 describes how to start and manage report log files.
You must specify at least one report log before running a report. You must
specify the location of each of the report logs you want to run with
SAMreport-Lite using one of the following two methods.
■
Type the path to the report log in the text field to the right of the Browse
button. Press Enter. Repeat this process for each report log that you want
to add.
■
Click the Browse button and use the report log file browser to select a report
log from your system. Double-click the report log file. You can repeat this
process to select more than one report log from the browser.
After you select a report log, the report log file name appears in the text box
above the Remove button. To remove a report log from the list, click to
highlight the report log, then click the Remove button.
There is no fixed limit on the size of a report log that you run through
SAMreport-Lite, but the execution time of a report is proportional to the
amount of report log data that is processed.
Displaying Output to the Viewer Window
All reports generated in the SAMreport-Lite interface are displayed on the
screen in a SAMreport-Lite Viewer window, even if you specify one or more
output files.
Navigating the SAMreport-Lite Viewer
Window
The SAMreport-Lite Viewer window is divided into two sections. A list of the
titles of individual pages of a report or a list of output formats is displayed in
the left side of the SAMreport-Lite Viewer. A textual page of a report is displayed
in the right side of the Viewer. If the displayed page is longer than the display
space (often the case with textual report output), you can read the rest of the
