CODBL0004W in IBM License Metric Tool

After installing the IBM License Metric Tool, you might see:
CODBL0004W
Essential periodic calculations did not occur when expected. The last day processed is Apr 25, 2011 while it should be Apr 29, 2011.

At the bottom of the page, it tells you what is actually needed:
Direct CREATETAB authority = YES 
Direct BINDADD authority = YES 
Direct CONNECT authority = YES

Here is a quick script to resolve this by creating links in the right places:
