ARL import - has anything changed in recent versions of FNMS?

Since we upgraded from 2017 R3 to 2020 R1 our ARL import has failed.

Error message is

I can manually run the ImportPURL.exe in a cmd window and it connects and downloads fine.

Hi,

If you can run it, but the default task cannot, it might be that both users (yours and the one from the scheduled task) have different rights. Are you using a proxy to access the internet?

Best regards,

Hi,

Checked the registry and as you suggested it was an issue with the proxy server - all sorted.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, 

 

Can you provide me what is the actual solution for this issue as i am not able to see any solutions here?

Hi @Vijayflexera,

On a Batch server run CMD as Administrator and execute this command:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\bin\MgsImportRecognition.exe" -ps proxy.domain.com:80 -pu DOMAIN\serviceAccountName -pp ServiceAccountPassword

Replace proxy.domain.com:80 and DOMAIN\serviceAccountName and ServiceAccountPassword with an actual values from your environment.

Regards,

Pavol

Hi @Smitty987,

Are you able to log in to the batch server with the service account, open an administrative command prompt window and run:

nslookup www.managesoft.com

...and confirm the output? The stack trace error indicates an issue with name resolution. Any information about a proxy would also be useful as @mfranz alluded to.

HTH,

Joseph
