What is the procedure to update and validate the license for BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch Thruput (formerly ThruPut Manager)?

Procedure for updating the license for BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch Thruput (formerly ThruPut Manager):

1. Use sample JCL in SLCXCNTL(LMIMPORT) to  import the new license certificate for BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch Thruput into the BMC Compuware VSAM license file;
2. Restart the LMS client or shutdown/restart CMSC in order to load the updated VSAM license file into the LMS cache:
   • F CMSC,LMRESTRT CLIENT
3. The TMSS started task checks the license during initialization and then once per day at 12:00 PM, but you can force the license check by shutting down TMSS and restarting:
   • F TMSS,PTM
   • S TMSS
4. A successful license check appears in the system log as follows:
   • DTM0051I SNAME=TPMAUTEDTN CODE=MQ.
   • DTM0055I License validation successful. TM processing continues
5. The TM license health check executes every 6 hours by default and so you may see an alert for ??_TM_LICENSE like "DTMHZ065E SName=TPMSTDEDTN Code=MS license will expire in # days" until ??_TM_LICENSE is refreshed using one of the following commands:
   • F HZSPROC,REFRESH,CHECK=(CPWR_THRUPUT_MGR,MS_TM_LICENSE)
   • F HZSPROC,REFRESH,CHECK=(CPWR_THRUPUT_MGR,MQ_TM_LICENSE)
   • F HZSPROC,REFRESH,CHECK=(CPWR_THRUPUT_MGR,MR_TM_LICENSE)
6. If you prefer, you can refresh ALL of the TM health checks:
   • F HZSPROC,REFRESH,CHECK=(CPWR_THRUPUT_MGR,*)
7. Check the ??_TM_LICENSE output on the SDSF.CK panel to confirm that the license is valid.
8. If the system log and/or ??_TM_LICENSE output indicate a problem with the license certificate, submit the following JCL:
   • SLCXCNTL(LMCCRPT) - license management cache report.
   • SLCXCNTL(LMLFCRPT) - VSAM license file contents report.
   • SLCXCNTL(LMVERIFY) - license verification report (performs the same LMCHKOUT as the license check initiated by TMSS or ??_TM_LICENSE health check).
9. If the CACHE does not match the VSAM file, return to step 2.
