Flexera One

Hi all ...

Below is a sample (redacted) record from a filtered All Licenses report:

Is it possible, in Flexera One, to have this report e-mailed to me, if the value in the shortfall / availability column (the last one in the sample above) changes in the database? Is this scenario feasible?

I was looking at Flexera Analytics (IBM Cognos behind the curtain). Analytics can e-mail reports based on a schedule, and also by the occurrence of a trigger. [Best I can tell, a trigger is some sort of event.] But all the documentation I've seen on Cognos triggers involves running a batch file on the [Cognos?] server to create the trigger, and in the Flexera One world, I do not have access to the Cognos (or Flexera) server. It is also not clear to me, assuming I had server access, how to define the trigger - how might I say "when the value changes, run the report"? The documentation simply says "run this command to set up the trigger" but offers no example of how to define one (for example, the database refresh that the documentation identifies).

Can Flexera Analytics do this? If not, can anyone suggest some other method of meeting this requirement?

One non-perfect answer is to simply have the report e-mailed daily. Setting up the daily schedule looks straightforward. But it was pointed out to me that I'd be getting the same report daily with no way to know that something has changed. With the automation use case, I'd get the report only when something changed. I'd have to examine the report to see what changed, but at least, I'd get the report only when necessary, so I'd know that a change occurred.

I'm looking for a better solution and am interested in your suggestions. Thank you!

Hi Team,

I am facing allocation issue in Named User License. Since, the license is mapped to correct application and we have more than 1000 installed in our environment for that application. But there is no consumption and also user allocation not showing in the tool. Users are still using the application. What should be done for showing allocation of the users in the license? Any help?

There is a vWAN migration activity for the below tooling servers. This migration is specifically a network change of the server to a secure vWAN network which will result in the following.

1. Private IP change of the server
2. Outbound public IP change of the server
3. Need separate configuration if the server is being accessed from outside Pandora network. (from internet) Hope this is not the case for these servers.

ProductionIf you think the network change can cause any impact post migration, then we can get into a call to discuss further to work out a way forward.

If the above network change does not impact anything, then kindly provide us a suitable downtime for 3 hrs. Also we will let you know for post validation once the migration is done.

Hi All,

We have exchange rate data available in our Fusion source (Exchange Rate Date, Currency and Exchange Rate Value) and would like to import new Exchange Rate Sets into Flexera One using a Business Adapter.

I configured a Business Adapter to test this, but the exchange rate set/rates are not being created in Flexera One. Has anyone successfully imported Exchange Rate Sets and their currency rates through a Business Adapter? If so, could you please advise what may be missing or incorrect in the configuration below?

Business Adapter XML Config part:

  <Object Type="Currency" Name="Currency" Update="False" Create="True" OutputField="Currency_ID">

  <Property Type="currencycode" Name="Currency Code" Update="Do not blank" ValueType="Field Value" Value="CURRENCY_CODE" UseForMatching="True" Length="32" />

  </Object>

  <Object Type="CurrencyRateSnapshot" Name="Currency Snapshot" Update="False" Create="True" OutputField="CurrencySnapshot_ID">

  <Property Type="snapshotdate" Name="Snapshot Date" Update="Do not blank" ValueType="Field Value" Value="EXCHANGE_DATE" UseForMatching="True" DataType="Date" UseNullValueForMatching="SetPropertyToNull" />

  <Property Type="snapshotname" Name="Snapshot Name" Update="Do not blank" ValueType="Field Value" Value="EXCHANGE_DATE" UseForMatching="True" />

  </Object>

  <Object Type="CurrencyRate" Name="Currency Rate" Update="False" Create="True" OutputField="CurrencyRate_ID">

  <Property Type="snapshotid" Name="Snapshot ID" Update="Do not blank" ValueType="Field Value" Value="CurrencySnapshot_ID" UseForMatching="True" />

  <Property Type="rate" Name="Exchange Rate" Update="Do not blank" ValueType="Field Value" Value="EXCHANGE_RATE" DataType="Float" />
