Hello Sagar, I am having a similar issue, what was the process that terminated the service for your batch?

Bdavey · ‎Mar 26, 2021

I already attempted the cert fix and it did not appear to work. I opened a case and will see what could be the cause. Thank you for responding.

I am having a similar issue, how did you resolve this on your end?

Documentation for FlexNet Manager Suite 2018 R2 only shows up to Windows 2016 compatibility. I need to know if our server admin team upgrades our servers to Windows 2019 that there will be no impact to our Production and Test servers running FNMS 2018 R2 On prem. Please also note they are upgrading our SQL servers and I do not see anything beyond 2016 listed in the documentation as well.

I agree that is what I believe is also happening. I am in discussions with the application owner however I believe that the PVU/Core calculations are based on the sockets on the host and not the VM. So this would mean that Flexera is calculating correctly (unless somehow there are empty sockets on the host). I will keep you updated to what I find out. See below: IBM PVU Breakdown

Hello Chris, thanks for the quick reply. As I was gathering data to see why this is happening (I have a 4 processor machine consuming at the 2 socket rate) I realized why. The host for this VM is showing to have only 2 processors in Flexera. Since the PVUs are consumed at a host level and capped its calculating at the 2 processor vs 4 processer level. The processor type is an Intel Xeon E5, I will attach the PVU consumption rules. I suppose this begs two questions: 1. In the case of a discrepancy like this, are the PVUs calculated based on the hosts sockets? 2. How would the host device have less processors than the VM on the host? Perhaps vCPUs being assigned to this VM, its still well within the Core maximum (40 cores on the host) but saying its within 4 CPUs when there are only 2 on the Host.

The Flexera agent doesn't appear to gather socket information from Inventory Devices. Being that IBM PVU calculations for many products (such as Filenet, websphere, etc.) require the sockets to determine if you consume 70 vs 100 vs 120 PVUs/core; how is FNMS able to accurately track consumption? Current behavior is to consume at the lowest level due to there being no socket value.

With this said how are the IBM PVU calculations correct when the PVUs are calculated based off of sockets. Currently I am seeing this problem where the PVUs are being calcuated on the lowest socket count for machines with higher sockets. This is a major compliance problem.

This is what I was looking for, I can customize and incorporate this. Thanks!

I have been creating custom SQL queries for our own reporting tools and I am having a hard time pulling the total purchase costs on a per license basis. My question is what IDs and or Tables are being used in FNMS to link these tables (foreign keys for these tables) does anyone have experience here?

Hi Vinod, We had noticed the same and a lot of this was due to the accumulation of a lot of data gathering for file evidence that was not needed. Try going to Discovery & Inventory > Settings Depending on your enviornment you may be able to exclude folders depending on the OS's you manage. In the Excluded file evidence section you can choose certain file paths to exclude for file evidence. examples: /var/spool/ /usr/sap/ /var/log/ Hopefully that helps! We did this and it reduced the time of the reconcile.

Correct, part of configuring Cognos to use SSL requires registration of the SSL Certificates being used by the Web Server along with reconfiguration. The technician from Flexera I worked with referred to this as "Re-encrypting" Cognos. I went through this process earlier this year and was hoping I would not have to do this again and had the same hopes that a certificate change wouldnt not impact Cognos but wanted some clarity around that. I have a change window coming up soon and will be implementing the new SSL Certificate, I will report my findings. Thank you,

I recently within the last 6 months updated our application to FNMS 2018 R2 from 2017 R2 however with this implementation came IBM Cognos and FNMS Analytics. During the upgrade I went through a very lengthily process of Re-encrypting IBM Cognos in order for it to communicate with our encrypted version of FNMS. Our SSL Cert is expiring soon and I just received a new one, however, I am worried I will now need to once again Re-encrypt IBM Cognos so that it will communicate with our Web Server, is this the case? Thank you,
