Summary

This article describes the Data Platform v5 extractor fields that are supported in Flexera One.

 

Description

Data Platform v5 standalone extractors can be used in Flexera One. However, there are limitations on the contents of the extractor files. To make a Data Platform extractor functional in Flexera One, you might need to make changes to some fields in the extractor files.

 

The following tables describe:

  • Mappings between the source fields in the Data Platform v5 extractor files and their equivalent target fields in Flexera One Technology Resource Services (TRS)
  • Special behaviours and limitations of each field.

 

Notes:

  1. Each mapping table is named for the imported TRS record.
  2. In each mapping table, one or more Key Fields are identified. Key Fields are the fields that are used in the involved data table files to relate records together and must exist in each file; otherwise, the process will fail.
  3. The ResourceID field is a Key Field for all sources, as it is the common key to connect records and to uniquely identify the device from multiple imports.
  4. If a file is marked as Required, it must exist in the extractor, otherwise the process will fail.
  5. If a file is marked as Grouped, the data in the file is first grouped by the Key Fields prior to being joined with other files. When a file is Grouped, duplicate Key Fields are anticipated. When a file is not Grouped, duplicate Key Fields must not exist, otherwise the process will fail.
  6. If a Grouped file is also marked as “First taken”, only the first record of the duplicate records in that file will be used, according to the record order in the file unless otherwise specified.

Table 2. Mappings for InstallerEvidence records

Each "InstallerEvidence" record in TRS is an array of all the installed software on a device. It is expected that the ResourceIDs specified here can be linked back to those in the "Computer" stream; however, this is not enforced.

Table 3. Mappings for OSEvidence records

Each "OSEvidence" record in TRS is an array of all the operating systems on a device. This is mainly designed to cover the situations where a single machine can be "dual booted", so the format can supply all the operating systems that a device has. It is expected that the ResourceIDs specified here can be linked back to those in the "Computer" stream; however, this is not enforced.
