Run import and reconcile from the command line bypassing the batch process

[#1]

If you run into issues with reconciliation while running the import and reconcile process, Flexera support may request a verbose log of the reconciliation to help diagnose the problem. Obtaining a verbose log must be done manually from the command line. You can then direct the output to a text file. 

The method below bypasses the batch process and can also be used to get a successful import and reconciliation if there is an issue with batch processing.

• To run a full import and reconcile from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\bin directory, run the following command:

ComplianceReader.exe -us false -processremotepackages true -it ReadersAndWriters -v > c:\temp\output.txt

• To run just the license reconcile, run this command:

ComplianceReader.exe -us false -e LicenseCreateUpdate -e EntitlementAutomation -e LicenseReconciliation -v > c:\temp\output.txt

• You can also run a particular publisher reconcile using this command:

ComplianceReader.exe -us false -e LicenseReconciliation -overrideparams PublisherFilter=IBM  -v > c:\temp\output.txt

Can I use these options when scheduling the process in a background task similar to the standard command:

BatchProcessTask run InventoryImport

@erwinlindemann - you would typically use BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe (rather than the non-console executable BatchProcessTask.exe) for interactive use, but with that proviso you can use a command like you've suggested to queue an inventory import job to be executed.

That will add a job to the queue; it won't run the import process synchronously like is the focus of this article.

Hi Chris,

I was looking for the command line parameters to use when using 'BatchProcessTaskConsole' for running the 'Reconcile' part of the ComplianceImport.
