Hi all,
I am kind of puzzled here. We had just go-live with our new infra and unfortunately we encountered an unique issue here.
So a bit of background.
- we have just refreshed our FNMS infra, and the way we did it is we stood up 2 environments at the same time.
- we left our old infra running while we set up the new one as DEV in parallel.
- on the go-live date, we promoted the DEV to Production and for the DB, we restored SQL backup which was taken from the old infra to the new infra.
- FNMS system setting was updated with .\Config.ps1 "Config\FNMS Windows Authentication Config.xml" forceUpdateConfig
- once everything confirmed up and running, we shutdown the old infra including the old DB.
- everything looks good, beacon are talking with FNMS, Flexnet Agent are sending inventory to beacon and uploaded to new DB, CM2012 and O365 tasks are running fine.
- except that Flexnet Manager Suite Inventory Import is failing with error message SQL server was not found or was not accessible.
If we turned on the OLD db, the Inventory Import is running fine. Once we turned it off, the task failed immediately.
This issue was missed when we set up the DEV because at that time the OLD db was still running, so the task completed successfully without anyone notice that it was actually connecting to the OLD db.
Anyone ever had the same issue here?
PS. Log file is showing exactly the same error connection failure due to server was not found or was not accessible.

None of the steps you've described above would have updated database connection details used during the inventory import process.
Check for references to the old database server in the Server column of the ComplianceConnection table in the compliance database, and update them as appropriate.

You are a life saver @ChrisG , indeed the connection in ComplianceConnection table refers to OLD DB.
I updated them and problem resolved. Thank you very much Chris!
