Using Reservation Files

You may use reservation files to reserve license tokens for particular users or groups of users. The reservation file applies to a specific license server, and may not reserve more than the total number of tokens initially allocated to that license server.

Members of a single group can request as many tokens as have been reserved for them, even if the license server does not currently have that many; if borrowing is enabled, additional tokens will be borrowed from other license servers. Members outside of that group cannot use tokens reserved for the group.

Only tokens not reserved for a group can be borrowed by other license servers.
For example, if a license server’s allocation is 10 tokens and all of them are reserved, this license server will not grant tokens to another license server requesting tokens.

For details on reservation files and on using WlsGrMgr to create and edit the reservation file, we recommend you to read through Setting User Options.
