Utilization Report Utility for OS 2200 (URU-OS2200)
5.52. Utilization Report Utility for OS 2200
(URU-OS2200)
General Considerations
URU-OS2200 should be installed soon after OS 2200 metered system is ready for use.
This includes installing the Windows components of URU-OS2200—the URU Windows
Interface and the URU Windows Service, installing the OS 2200 component of
URU-OS2200 and starting the URU Background Run. The URU Background Run allows
the URU Windows Service running on the workstation to connect using a TCP/IP
connection to the OS 2200 metering partition using CPComm.
Before you install Windows components of URU-OS2200, you must determine which
workstation can provide the connectivity and availability required. The workstation
selected to execute URU-OS2200 for the site must be available to run the URU
Windows Service as necessary to ensure collection of the COD usage data. Capacity on
Demand (COD) data is recorded in the OS 2200 COD audit trail and the system log file.
The URU Windows Service running on the workstation retrieves or harvests the COD
data from the COD audit trail or system log file periodically. The URU Windows Service
must be running in order for the COD data to be harvested. It is imperative that the COD
log data be harvested from the OS 2200 system before the file cycles containing the
data are overwritten or deleted.
Unisys strongly recommends that the URU Windows Service be up and running 24 by 7.
If the URU Windows Service is not running continuously, file management must be done
by the OS 2200 system administrator to ensure that the COD audit trail and system log
file cycles are not deleted or overwritten before the COD log data is retrieved. The
methods available to manage the COD audit trail files are the same as those methods
available for other Exec audit trails: step control, system log and TPM. See the IRU
Administration Manual and IRU Operations Guide for additional information.
ClearPath OS 2200 Release 13.1
URU-OS2200 Level 5.1
Migration
This release of URU has two modes of installation: Mode A and Mode B. Mode A URU
contains a standard version of IRU’s Free Standing Audit Handler (FSAH) subsystem.
This mode is used when the COD and system log audit trails’ configuration is the
standard configuration released with the Exec.
The IRU FSAH level included in URU 5.1 Mode A is IRU level 20R2 released with
ClearPath OS 2200 13.1.
Mode B URU does not contain an IRU FSAH subsystem but instead uses the IRU FSAH
subsystem that is installed on the system. Mode B must be used when the COD and/or
system log audit trails’ configuration differs from the standard configuration released
with the Exec. URU requires that IRU be installed with mode FSAH, when you install
using Mode B.
