  1. Guidance on SSRS Reporting Architecture for FlexNet Manager Suite (FNMS)

    Hi Team,

     

    We currently have an FNMS environment where the FNMS application/databases are hosted on separate servers, while our SSRS reporting services and reporting databases are hosted on a different server.

    For management reporting, we currently retrieve data from the FNMS databases using multiple stored procedures and staging/reporting tables, and expose the results through SSRS reports.

     

    Over time, we have started seeing some inconsistencies with the reporting data, and since there is limited documentation available for the existing implementation, we are considering restructuring the SSRS reporting solution.

    We are planning to organize the reports into areas such as:

     

    1. Discovery – multiple reports/views related to inventory and discovery data
    2. Monitoring – multiple operational/monitoring reports
    3. Publisher – publisher/software-specific reports and views

     

    We would like to understand the recommended approach for building an SSRS reporting solution around FNMS data, particularly around:

     

    • Recommended FNMS database views/tables or reporting interfaces for reporting purposes
    • Best practices for extracting FNMS data into a separate reporting database
    • Whether direct database queries, stored procedures, staging tables, or another supported approach is recommended
    • Any reference architecture, documentation, sample queries, or SSRS reporting examples available from Flexera

     

    If anyone has implemented a similar FNMS + SSRS reporting architecture, any guidance or documentation would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

      This sounds like it may not be related to FlexNet Manager Suite. FlexNet Manager Suite does not have anything called "User Console" to be configured. Has this been posted in the wrong form?

    • Odd, I asked this question on a doc page. Not quite sure how it ended up in this forum. Not even sure what doc page it was.

       

      Here is another example: https://community.flexera.com/s/article/scheduled-task-beacon-showing-in-progress

       

      See picture below where I have put a red box around Flexnet Manager Suite On-Premises

      We see the exact same behavior in Flexera One with multiple beacons.

       

      Can the "Flexera One" product be added to the article I referenced above?Product Relationship to Doc or Article

    • In addition: There's no attribute like "InsertTime" at all. I don't know what exactly you want to reflect with that...

    • Hi Jens,

      long time, no see ;)

      For getting an useful Proxmox inventory i suggest using the Proxmox REST API.

      With the Business Adapter Studio you'll need to get NODE and QEMU VM data, and in addition a common agent inventory for software recognition.

      API:

      Extract the complete list of VMs, and after that every VM data seperately.

      CLICK for the API documentation.

      regards,

      Steve

      I just quickly looked up both in Technopedia:

      imageimageIf you believe any of this is incorrect, then I would recommend that you open a support case and request content updates, and please make sure to include the relevant documentation for challenging it being correct.

       

      Thanks,

      There are many releases of each, e.g. for RHEL 7: 7.1 - 7.9, and according to a quick search in Technopedia RHEL 7.9 is on Extended Support from Red Hat until May 31, 2029. Not sure if that explains your findings without more details provided?

       

      Thanks,

      John Sorensen
