License Tracking for the VAX (Alpha)

[Conley, Steve]

> Hello,
> 
> VAX (Alpha) Issue - 
> 
> We are upgrading from 6.10 to 7.10f4 and the licensing changed to the
> point that COGNOS tracks the number of users.
> 
> I was looking for information on how COGNOS tracks license for RDB access.
> We have a good understanding of how they track license for regular COGNOS.
> 
> For example I have 125 Runtime License with QUIZ reporting and I have
> asked for 125 COGNOS RDB license, but I really don't need 125 because only
> 1/4 of the application goes at the RDB database the rest is in RMS files.
> But if COGNOS piggy backs how they track RDB along with the RUNTIME
> license then I need that many licenses but if they don't and they go after
> say an "ATTACH" (I would hope they would not use this method) using RDB,
> then I could cut back the RDB license by over half.
> 
> Thanks In advance.

> Separate Issue:
> 
> Also could anyone tell me what COGNOS uses for DB Scope is it "Attach" or
> "Finish".
> 
> We have other NON-COGNOS applications that needs to know this information
> so that they can employ a FIX for RDB.  Apparently if COGNOS accesses one
> vs the other then there fix will do no good.  Sorry I could not provide
> more information.
