6.4.2.9 log file start

All formats:

  • SWITCH from old-reportlog-name (new in v14.0, not authenticated)
  • RLM Report Log Format d, version x.y authentication flag
  • REPROCESSED with rlmanon vx.y
  • ISV: <isvname>, RLM version a.b BLc
  • <several lines of header text>
  • START hostname mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm
  • TIMEZONE minutes-west-of-UTC daylight rules # readable version of data
  • LICENSE FILE filename

The d in the first line is the format: 0 for "std", 1 for "small", and 2 for "detailed" x.y is the reportlog version. Reportlog v1.0 corresponds to RLM version 1.0. reportlog v1.1 corresponds to RLM v1.1. The authentication flag is either blank (no authentication) or the string ", authenticated". (Note: Authentication first appeared in RLM v3.0, reportlog format 3.0. Starting in v4.0, all report logs are authenticated).

The second line will be present if the rlmanon utility was used to anonymize the reportlog data. The version of rlmanon corresponds to the RLM version. rlmanon first appeared in RLM v4.0, however while this was added in RLM v4.0, this line can appear in any reportlog version, since rlmanon can process any version of reportlog. Note that this line can be repeated if multiple runs of rlmanon were made on the same log file.

The third line displays the ISV name, and the RLM software version of the ISV server (a.b BLc, BL means "Build").

In general, numeric data is in decimal format. The 3 exceptions to this are server_handle, share_handle, and process_id parameters which are always hex numbers.

The TIMEZONE line is new in RLM v12.3 This represents the server's timezone data: the first number is the minutes west of UTC time; the second number indicates whether daylight savings rules ever apply in this timezone. The data after the # is a human-readable version of the timezone information.

The LICENSE FILE line(s) are new in reportlog v2.0. There will be one LICENSE FILE line for each license file which the server is processing.

Note that the “SWITCH from” line is not included in the report authentication.
