Troubleshooting

Is ALM enabled?

  1. Run these steps below:
    % vovproject enable <projectname>

    where your projectname is one of the Accelerator Products.

  2. Look for ALM status.
    % vovshow -policy | grep -i alm
VovServerConfig alm.enable                      "1"

    "1" means enabled. "0" means disabled.

  2. Open the URL shown using your favorite internet browser, and view Project Home > Admin > Alerts. The example below illustrates a FlowTracer project.


    Figure 1.
  3. Notice that line #2 states "Bad seat license specified which says seat_ft_l" which means that the FlowTracer project by default is looking for ALM license feature seat_ft_l which is set in $SWD/policy.tcl.
