In theory - we now support RDS. This issue may be around authentication as we typically utilize Windows\AD Authentication. I'm not sure we've done a full QA with Azure AWS. There's a bit more in this thread from Feb. https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Forum/FNMS-installed-on-Amazon-RDS-MS-SQL-engine/m-p/132596

I have a nuance here that one of you may be able to help with. We've successfully deleted the old inventory with @ChrisG 's script and have that scheduled now. BUT - we have a few lingering computers as it appears when they were decommissioned they still had Oracle Inventory. So we have a few computers still coming in with Oracle Inventory. The "Delete Oracle Inventory over 90s" option is checked in the settings. Does someone have a quick script handy that will allow us to successfully drop those old instances and either add it to the script or schedule it separately.
Thanks!

I would make the public address the only one available and block via firewall the ability to connect to HTTP (or HTTPS depending on config - but I'd expect HTTPS in the DMZ). This way it's only accepting connections from folks "outside the office" rather than "in the office". You will need to configure the "External" DNS entry in the Beacon Config. Instructions for that can be found in our KB here: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/How-to-configure-the-beacon-to-use-a-different-name-or-alias/ta-p/2064

SOMETIMES if you delete a Business Adapter on the GUI in the Beacon, it leaves the actual file behind. Can you take a look in "C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Beacon\BusinessAdapter" and make sure you don't have any files there that are no longer needed?

I have several clients that are fully implemented with the "On Prem" version of FNMS deployed in public cloud - specifically Azure without issues. The thing to keep in mind is that currently we do not support the RDS version for SQL Server - a full SQL Server (of appropriate version per the documentation) is required. As for Azure AD - I'm not sure we've tested that integration fully - however our AD integration is in 2 main spots. First for pulling AD Information into the tool for use in various other integrations - our Active Directory Import process. This performs LDAP queries against a domain controller. I believe binding with LDAP is fully supported with Azure AD and shouldn't be a problem. The second is that we utilize Windows Authentication in IIS for the Web Application - which should also be fully supportable. That said, I don't believe I've seen this done in the field so would want to test it....

You do not need to install Java for any part of the FNMS Implementation.
I'm not aware of ANY Java dependencies. It MAY be installed as part of the Oracle Client in the event that your implementation needs to remotely query Oracle Databases (rather than utilizing the FlexNet Inventory Agent\Scanner) to for Oracle database Inventory.

In addition to "how to use the tool classes", customers just getting started in the SAM space can engage an Advisory Services project which can be leveraged to help you build the processes and policies for implementing a successful SAM Program. In essence, without proper policies and procedures around the entire IT Asset Lifecycle (Procurement through software EOL for Hardware AND Software), successfully managing your Software exposure will be difficult. This is includes ensuring all appropriate inventory is available as soon as computers are deployed, updating Hardware Assets as retired as soon as they're removed from service, PO's are available when software is purchased to update your entitlements, etc. The more accurate and timely the data is available in the tool, the more accurate your compliance can be calculated. Since multiple groups impact this (Procurement, Vendor Management, Hardware Asset Management, IT Infrastructure, etc) it's best to start with the "big picture" and get buy in from all parties (or from someone high enough in the organization to smooth the buy in).

I want to add one MINOR clarification here.
In really locked down environments, there may be a password requirement when querying the TNS Listener. In this instance, the FlexNet Inventory agent may NOT be able to get the list of running instances and connection information during the agent run. I rarely run into this "in the wild" - but wanted to make sure you were aware of it.
In this instance, we would rely on OEM's generated (or manually generated) TNS information for connection information in order to perform remote Oracle Inventory to gather the instance specific information.

Specifically, rather than the -d directive, you'll use the -URL. You can pass in a user\pw if your beacon enforces Windows Authentication rather than Anonymous for accepting Inventory. Anonymous is typical if you are utilizing Agents on NonWindows
FnmpXenAppAgent.exe -url http://beacon01.example.com

If you have IIS installed on the Inventory Beacon, you can also track connections from Agents to the Inventory Beacon through the IIS Logs. This allows you to capture if an attempt was made as well as if there were any errors. If you do not have IIS installed, I would recommend doing so if possible in your environment to allow this detailed tracking, especially if you have a large install base of Flexera Agents.
As IIS is installed on the Batch Processing Server, you would be able to track the flow from Inventory Beacon through the IIS Logs without any additional configuration.

In general - yes.
Please keep in mind that if the related Inventory is active and you are removing an Asset marked as Retired, Disposed, or In Storage, the Inventory will once again consume licenses.
You will also lose any history stored on the Asset.

In more recent versions of FNMS, for Citrix 7.8 + you have the option to send the data directly to your Inventory Beacon during the Agent run without the need for an Intermediate DB. Please Refer to the FNMS Inventory Adapters and Connectors Reference documentation available from your Online Help for details on configuration.

Application Life Cycle info (if available) is in the SoftwareTitle view. You can relate that through the "SoftwareTitleID" available on the InstalledApplicationInfo view.
The Status is the SoftwareTitle.SoftwareTitleActionID Column - which can have a value of 1 - 6. 1 = Unmanaged, 2 = Authorized, 3 = Unauthorized, 4 = Ignored, 5 = Inactive, 6 = Deferred.
For additional table information, there is a Schema Reference available from your Online Help Home page with a complete list of objects available for query.

While there IS an Operator available in Advanced Filters called "Is Any Of" - it does not appear to limit to a list as I expected (in my reference 2018 R2 implementation). Utilizing a set of "OR" operators is likely your best bet at this time.

I would try downloading as a CSV rather than Excel for large datasets.
You can join the ComplianceComputer and InstalledApplicationInfo views (on compliancecomputerid) to get the same information.
Example:
select *
from ComplianceComputer cc
join InstalledApplicationInfo app
on cc.compliancecomputerid = app.ComplianceComputerId
where cc.computername = 'Steelers' -- apply your filter
order by cc.computername
