Hi, In FNMS when going to Management View Index I can see all of our views. A client of us wants to retrieve a specific view in .csv. format. I can manually download this view and provide it to the client, but we would like to automate this proces. For example, retrieving this view from the database and save it to a log file in a directory the client can access. How would I do this (or if there is a alternative way, please inform me) ? Thanks

Hi Flexera Community, Simple question: Is it possible to read the contecnts of an .ndi file and if so, how to do it? When I open one in notepad all I see is a bunch of random numbers and text. Thanks

Dear Flexera Community members, We intent to compare our CMDB with the FNMS DB. We specifically want to check if an system is found in the CMDB and it is active, is it also present in FNMS in the "All Inventory" page. I have found the below URL describing the required db table for the all inventory data: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Forum/All-Inventory-info-in-FNMS-DB/m-p/170111 The problem right now is that I find more than just the ComplianceComputer table: I am now looking for the fields Name and Domain name of each record shown in the All Inventory page, but I don't know where to find this information. Which table do I need for this? Thanks

I'll try to get as much (relevant) information as possible, if that means getting it by trial and error and researching, then so be it.

Hello Chris, Let me explain our situation. We have a Software Asset Management team which I will refer to as the client. We have our own team, who handles FNMS. My team is divided into technical engineers and functional (or applicational) managers. The technical engineers make sure the application is running and migrations are carried out. The functional managers are there to handle issues/requests the client has. If data is missing, or incorrect, we need to figure out why that is. If the client requests new user access, we will make that happen. If we or the client want to automate certain processes (for example by using scripts), we will make it happen. It is a bit difficult for me to explain in detail what we will do with FNMS because its not being used yet by either us or the client. One real life example I can give is that a colleague of mine had to import vCenters (and its credentials) into FNMS (and the beacon servers) which he figured out by himself. It would be nice if there are (video) tutorials for such (common?) actions.

Dear Flexera community, In my working environment Flexnet Manager Suite has been installed and will soon be operational. As a functional manager I was wondering what learning paths (or other tutorials if there are any) are suitable for me as a functional manager. So far I have found the FlexNet Manger Learning Paths of which I have completed the "Getting Started with FlexNet Manager" path, basically showing me where to find certain views, how to manage accounts & roles, using filters etcetera. I will not be using FNMS for software asset management (other colleagues will) and I will also not be managing FNMS technically (installing, upgrading, migrating etcetera). What learning paths (and other tutorials) are useful for me. The learning path descriptions for me are not clear enough on how useful they might be for me. Thanks!

Installation & Configuration

Dear Flexera community, I am aware that Cognos Analytics is using Log4j (version 2.x). I was wondering if any of the other parts of FNMS are using Log4j version 1.x. So, the beacon server, the application server etc..., do any of those parts use Log4j at all (regardless of version) ? I cannot find much about version 1.x. Thanks in advance.

I have also tried the dir command but nothing happens. In the logs however I can see that cleanup tasks on the webserver are successfully completed so I think the connection between the proc and web server is operating fine. Some additional information that is logged: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 2021-12-16 01:01:46,471 [onImport.ContentImport] [WARN ] RecognitionAfter82.cab download attempt 1 of 5 failed with System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server I'll discuss the above with a colleague later this week, as I have other business to attend to now, thanks for your help so far.

@ChrisG The proc server is only allowed to communicate with the managesoft site where the ARL file is located. The web server can only communicate with other FNMS servers including the proc server. The web server cannot communicate with the internet. According to my colleage, the file is downloaded onto the proc server, is processed there and then moved to the web server. However, I believe (according to the logs) that he might be wrong, as is states that the file cannot be downloaded to the web server. What do you think is happening here?

Nevermind, I found it myself. I have replaced the URL with X's except for one number: 2021-11-21 01:05:37,408 [.RecognitionImportTool] [ERROR] Failed to download the file 'https://www.managesoft.com/support/Compliance/RecognitionAfter82.cab' to '\\XXX77XXXXXXXX.XX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XX\DataImport\Content\ARL\RecognitionAfter82.cab'. The server 77 is the Web Server, but this log is located on the Proc Server, which is number 76 and not 77. This log makes me believe the proc server is trying to move or download on the Web Server instead of the Proc server.

Hi Chris, I saw it in the MgsImportRecognition log file (on the proc server I believe) on the screen of my colleague. My colleage is out of the office right now and I am not sure where this logfile is located. If you can provide me the logfiles location I can provide the exact content.
