Thanks Chris, although that does give me what I'm after, it does seem like a strange method of getting a clear list of ARL updates.

kfindlay · ‎Aug 02, 2021

Hi Team, I'm looking for a list of ARL changes since the beginning of July 2021, is there a link to all the recent ARL publications so that I can look at updates? I am keen to see if there are any changes for a specific product. In this instance its for BMCs BladeLogic Server Automation RSCD Agent, but I believe its likely to be something I might need to look at for other products, in the future, so keen to know if there is a space for it with a quick link.

Hi Team, any word of 2021 R1 for FNMS OnPrem?

kfindlay · ‎Mar 02, 2021

We sure did.

Hi Resno, can you please ensure that ths Crosswalk updates are emailed to WBC, I will email you a list of names to include in the communications.

kfindlay · ‎Feb 08, 2021

Thanks Natalie, that's great. The inclusion of the Flexera ID or in a excel/table format would also make a compare in excel much easier (I might be pushing my luck though ^_.^ ).

Thanks Srivatsa, whilst I agree that this change was the correct action for the ARL, I think its a MUST that Flexera are publishing the detail of this. There is nothing on the 2581 ARL update to call out the WS_FTP was removed from the ARL and replaced with WS_FTP Client and WS_FTP Server. These are called out that those two products changed, but I did not have those two products linked to licenses in my system. My recommendation would be that Flexera includes in their ARL advice when these types of changes occur (particularly ARL Commercial product deletions), including what happened so that your customers can take the appropriate action in their systems. Something like: WS_FTP removed from ARL, WS_FTP Client and WS_FTP Server have been modified. This would allow us to know that we need to go an update our license and link the appropriate product.

Thanks Sheryl, that's what I was looking at, but what you will notice is that the product "WS_FTP" is not listed in your applications that are changed and there is no list of applications deleted. This is what I need to see.

We're currently reviewing a particular product "WS_FTP" and noticed that recently WS_FTP as a product has been removed, and now only "WS_FTP Client" remains. From data in November 2020, we could see that both these products existed in the ARL. We had licenses linked to "WS_FTP" and not "WS_FTP Client" - so now our licenses are impacted and we need to relink them. The note on the ARL Clean-up is that "No commercial applications or applications linked to SKU, PURL, or bundle content will be deleted as part of this alignment and refocus." so not sure if its part of that piece of work. How can we, as customers, ensure that when a product is removed due to an ARL clean-up, we know about it and we can check we have no license impacts? Is it published anywhere? I didn't see any reference to this product in the 2581 ARL changes. https://download.flexnetoperations.com/439214/1169/67/17726067/Application%20Recognition%20Library%20-%20List%20of%20Applications%20Updated%20ARL2581.pdf?ftpRequestID=8412229357&server=download.flexnetoperations.com&dtm=DTM20210202065056NDgwMjM0MTkx&authparam=1612277456_977909b92d52fe357425795339115e66&ext=.pdf https://download.flexnetoperations.com/439214/1169/107/17726107/Application%20Recognition%20Library%20-%20List%20of%20Versions%20ARL2581.pdf?ftpRequestID=8412230087&server=download.flexnetoperations.com&dtm=DTM20210202065102NzkxMzM3NDky&authparam=1612277462_419a0b9aa0b4654fcbe0ae6f6e89fbd0&ext=.pdf https://download.flexnetoperations.com/439214/1169/77/17726077/Application%20Recognition%20Library%20-%20List%20of%20New%20Applications%20ARL2581.pdf?ftpRequestID=8412230267&server=download.flexnetoperations.com&dtm=DTM20210202065103NTgzMjExMDc5&authparam=1612277463_18be43fed41418b5af91e2a780a32141&ext=.pdf Note: In our History, we are seeing "WS_FTP" unlinked from the license on the 31st January at 2am, so it matched the time of our ARL update to 2581.

In the note above there is reference to " we no longer curate hardware products in separate industry-vertical-specific subscriptions ". Can you explain why you mean by this please? Maybe a quick example to help clarify?

kfindlay · ‎Nov 12, 2019

Perfect thanks. I didn't go into the 1st link where it calls out April 2015 dates, but when you go into the content packs to download them, they are correctly reflecting the actual ARL, PURLs etc. Should have done one more click yesterday. Thanks again.

Hi Team, Am looking for a link to the latest ARL & PURL. We've having issues with it failing automatically and want to load it manually to try and clear the error. Have looked through the Flexera Community and the links have old data stamps, so doesn't seem to be the latest ARL & PURL. https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/Downloading-the-FlexNet-Manager-Suite-Content-libraries-manually/ta-p/5313 Ta, Karyn

This is something we're working on here in Oz at the moment, and as Chris notes there are limitations to this at the moment, so I would tread very lightly. The links between the ARL and Data Platform at this point in time are very focused and no where near complete. If, like us, you don't use the FNMS Agent and rather consume discovery from many many other discovery tools there is still value in Data Platform for its superior recognition matching and much larger catalogue. However, the limitations that exist due to the progress made by Flexera, at this point in time, may require customisation's to get the full benefit out of the solution. Only Flexera can provide you those timelines. The customisation would need to be able to pass Data Platform catalogue information through to FNMS for anything that is NOT currently matched. At this stage, I've not seen any real statistics around what has actually been matched, so it will depend on your own footprint and the types of vendors you have in your space whether it would be of value PLUS whether you utilise any of those other features in FNMS that would be missed by using it (sub-cab, Oracle, SQL etc ).
