Flexnet 64 Bit License Vendor Daemon Development (Windows)

From DDCIDeos
Jump to navigationJump to search

Overview

This page describes how to build the DDC-I FLEXnet 64-bit Daemon (ddciflex.exe) and supporting Flexnet applications required for a DDS release. Building the 32-bit version of FLEXnet 11.19.2 is described for Windows (not available for Linux). DDC-I Windows products use multiple versions of FLEXnet, 10.1.3, 10.8.0.7, 11.9.1, and 11.19.2. 11.19.2 replaces 11.15.1. Supporting applications are built using all four versions of FLEXnet for various purposes. When licenses are borrowed using OA's license borrowing dialog, the features are checked out in borrowed mode using the following:

11.19.2 - current features used by OA, HeartOS and GCC (checked out using the javaUtil.dll)
11.19.2 - current features used by Deos, TRAC and SCORE (checked out using check_11_19_2_feature.exe)

10.8.0.7 - previous features used by TRAC and SCORE (checkout_10_8_Feature.exe)
10.1.3 - previous features used by TADS (checkout_10_1_3_Feature.exe)

The FLEXnet distribution was downloaded from Revenera.com, via their download site. (https://flexeracommunity.force.com/Community/s/login/)
For details on downloading files see: Flexnet_Download
NOTE: This page does not address older DDC-I products such as DACS which use the ddciada.exe FlexLM daemon.


DDCI_Flexnet Directory Structure

This Wiki page describes the building of Flexnet 11.19.2 on DDSBuild. Visual Studio Pro 2022 is required for building FLEXnet and the supporting applications. Currently, everything is under configuration management control using SVN at the following url (https://deos.ddci.com/svn/DDCI/products/DDCI_Flexnet/). Because Visual Studio Pro 2022 is required and installed only on the DDSBuild machine, all the files are currently checkout on DDSBuild in C:\DDCI_Flexnet.

Check in downloaded and updated files to SVN

In DDCI_FLEXnet_11.19.2, issue the following two find commands to set the executable permissions correctly on all the files: 

 for f in $(find . -type f -perm -o+x); do svn ps svn:executable true $f; done
 for f in $(find . -type f); do if file $f | grep -E 'executable|interpreter' > /dev/null; then svn ps svn:executable true $f; fi; done

The two find commands ensure the executable properties for the files are correct, and help avoid problems with building.

For each of the directories: DDCI_FLEXnet_11.19.2, CheckoutFeature, DeosIntegSO and javaflexlic:
Use the following svn commands to check in the files.

 svn add --no-ignore *
 svn -R propset DDCI:pcr-required true *

The --no-ignore is important on the svn add to ensure that all .o files delivered by Revenera are checked in.
Then check in the files using the appropriate PCR and a comment (e.g.):

 svn ci -m"PCR 4642. adding files downloaded and updated" *

Build Everything

Building FLEXnet_<version> (11.19.2 and higher)

The FLEXnet directories each contain the installed FLEXnet versions and their supporting libraries and executables. Each one contains an "x64_n6" and "machind" directory where a small set of files has been updated to produce a DDCI specific version of flexnet. This is documented above. Currently, DDC-I distributes the 11.19.2 version of the ddciflex.exe 64-bit daemon, and it's supporting executables.

To Build (64-bit):

  1. RDC to DDSBuild
  2. Login as "scoretest", password "scteorste1"
  3. Must use Visual Studio Pro 2022 (from a command prompt)
  4. Click on Start -> Visual Studio 2022 -> x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
  5. In the command window, enter:
    1. cd \DDCI_Flexnet\DDCI_Flexnet_11.19.2\FLEXnet_11.19.2\x64_n6
    2. build MT

The following list of files are distributed by DDC-I: (pic is from an installation of FLEXnet 11.19.2)


To Build (32-bit):

  1. RDC to DDSBuild
  2. Login as "scoretest", password "scteorste1"
  3. Must use Visual Studio Pro 2022 (from a command prompt)
  4. Click on Start -> Visual Studio 2022 -> x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
  5. In the command window, enter:
    1. cd \DDCI_Flexnet\DDCI_Flexnet_11.19.2\FLEXnet_11.19.2\i86_n3
    2. build MT

FlexNet WISE Installer

The server_check Program

The FlexNet WISE installer calls a pre-built program called server_check.exe which must be built before the FlexNet stuff can be packaged by the WISE installer. The steps to do so are documented here.

To Build (64-bit):

  1. RDC to DDSBuild
  2. Login as "scoretest", password "scteorste1"
  3. Must use Visual Studio Pro 2022 (from a command prompt)
  4. Click on Start -> Visual Studio 2022 -> x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
  5. In the command window, enter:
    1. cd \DDCI_Flexnet\WiseSetup\server_check
    2. build_server_chk

To clean up from x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 window:

  1. nmake -f Makefile_server_chk clean

The WISE Installer

To build the WISE installer for FlexNet, the WISE Installbuilder version 8.1 (the last version ever made) is required. This is installed on DDSBuild.

NOTE: While the WISE InstallBuilder 8.1 creates a 32-bit installer package, it can be used to install 64-bit executables and services.

A detailed description of how the InstallBuilder works and how to use it is beyond the scope of this text.

Assumptions:

  1. The appropriate FlexNet executables (lmgrd, ddciflex, etc.) have already been built. See FLEXnet_<version> File Changes (11.19.2 and higher) and Building FLEXnet_<version> (11.19.2 and higher) for how to do this.
  2. The server_check.exe program has been built. See The server_check Program for how to do this.

To create the installer package:

  1. Navigate to C:\DDCI_Flexnet\WiseSetup.
  2. Double click on the setup_flexnet.wse file. This will launch the WISE InstallBuilder.
  3. Make whatever changes may be necessary. For instance, if the FlexNet version has changed, the Welcome Dialog's will have to be tweaked. The .wse file can be modified with a text editor (carefully). The flexnet version directories for gathering up the exe's delivered is in the file, and the file version for the exe
  4. Click the Compile button (lower right). This will attempt to collect all of the files and produce the installer package executable.


Check in the changes to setup_flexnet.wse to svn.
When ready to release to customers, copy setup_flexnet.EXE to C:\DDCI_integration\DDS (on DDSBUILD).

javaflexlic Directories

The javaflexlic directory contains the source, makefile, and build script to build javaUtil.dll using FLEXnet 11.19.2 for 64-bit, used by the OpenArbor to checkout licenses.
