This article will help you to change the components to 64-bits for a MSI project in InstallShield using IDE as well as automation script.
Discussion:
1) Through InstallShield IDE follow the below Steps. You can do this if you have few components to be updated. *) In the Installation Designer, select the Components under Organization and change the '64-Bit Component' to YES.
*) Since we use 64x bit component, make sure in the Template Summary under General information is set to 'intel;1033'.
2) Through automation, Kindly execute the attached script '64bit component.vbs' if you have more components that needs to be changed. *) You have to modify the script and mention the "<Path to ISM File>" in the Vbs script. *) Note - If you are using InstallShield 2019, then you are good to execute the script as it is (You can modify it based on the requirement). If you are using InstallShield 2020, then comment 'ISWiAuto25.ISWiProject' line and uncomment the 'ISWiAuto26.ISWiProject' line. *) '64bit component.vbs' needs to be executed as in the path highlighted below (for reference),

Hi @madhupn ,
Can you confirm whether you have upgraded just ASES or AdminStudio also?
Are you seeing this issue only with specific packages or all the packages you try to import? Can you attach the screenshot of PowerShell output window once after you execute the commands.
Once you start the execution of AdminStudio cmdlet and after the AdminStudioHost starts by itself (it will start once you execute the Invoke-ASImportPackage command), you should see the logs in "C:\Program Files (x86)\AdminStudio\2020\Common\AdminStudioHost.log" file.

This article helps you to understand how to enable Windows Authentication in Workflow manager.
Discussion:
With single sign-on (Windows Authentication), you will be automatically logged in to Workflow Manager / AdminStudio Enterprise Server using your domain credentials, as long as your domain account has been imported into the system.
Once single sign-on has been set up and your account has been imported, when you next open Workflow Manager / AdminStudio Enterprise Server, the IIS web server checks to see if your domain credentials are valid in the Active Directory domain server. If they are valid, you will automatically be logged in to Workflow Manager / AdminStudio Enterprise Server.
The below video has step by step process which will guide you to set up Windows Authentication. Also attached the video for reference.

Discussion about AdminStudio Host service URL registered in the FSG.
Solution:
One of the other Flexera products (i.e. Workflow Manager, FNMS or App Portal) uses that URL to invoke AdminStudio Host web services.
Though technically it is possible for other products to consume AdminStudio web services via FSG, there is no functionality in other products which would need AdminStudio services. At this point it is AdminStudio which consumes services of other products (FNMS and AppPortal) in this integration.

This topic was discussed via case 02205920 and customer closed the ticket after his queries were addressed as below.
Kindly ignore my previous statement about FSG host process to avoid confusions.
1) Yes, you are right. Though technically it is possible for other products to consume AdminStudio web services via FSG, there is no functionality in other products which would need AdminStudio services. At this point it is AdminStudio which consumes services of other products (FNMS and AppPortal) in this integration.
2) AdminStudio is a desktop product and today it is not possible to decouple AdminStudio host service from AdminStudio and run on a different machine. Based on the previous comment, since no other product consumes AdminStudio services you will be fine even if you don't register AdminStudio with FSG.

Jaganath S

Hi @peter_osang ,
Most of the AdminStudio Application Manager’s core functionality resides in the AdminStudio Host Process, which is available in the same machine where AdminStudio is installed. You can find the host process (AdminStudioHost.exe) in the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AdminStudio\2019\Common'.
Please have a look at the below document link for the information about the AdminStudio Host Process. https://docs.flexera.com/adminstudio2020/Content/helplibrary/About_the_AdminStudio_Host_Process.htm#applicationcatalogs_794908166_2413787
AdminStudio Host must be running in order to use Application Manager or the Platform API. When Application Manager is launched, the AdminStudio Host process is automatically started, and its icon is added to the System Tray.
AdminStudio Enterprise Server (AES) is a Web application which is mainly used to display Reports. AES is hosted in IIS and it doesn't have any Host service similar to AdminStudio. AdminStudio and AdminStudio Enterprise Server can be integrated but AdminStudio Enterprise Server is not responsible for launching AdminStudio Host process.
Flexera Service Gateway (FSG) is a component that enables Flexera Products like AdminStudio, App Portal, Workflow Manager, and FlexNet Manager Suite / FlexNet Manager Platform to communicate. May be while registering Flexera products like AdminStudio, AdminStudio Enterprise Server in FSG may call the FSG host process which can be found in the machine where FSG is installed. Doing a Test connection in AdminStudio will displays all other products that are registered in Flexera service Gateway.
Hope this clarifies your query. Kindly let me know if any concerns.

Summary:
Users may not be able to view/edit Dataelement in a Template after making some changes to it.
Symptoms:
Clicking on Dataelement does not show the relevant element details. Instead it shows the previous clicked data element value.
This may occur if the ‘IsCondition’ field is set to ‘1’ in ‘AMS_DataMinorItemTpl’ table for the particular dataelement (DataMinorItemDesc).
To verify this execute the below query against the database by replacing the Dataelement value in the ‘DataMinorItemDesc’ filed.
Select IsCondition , * from AMS_DataMinorItemTpl where DataMinorItemDesc = ‘<Dataelement name here>’ -- Check if the Iscondition value is '1'.
Resolution:
Updating the ‘IsCondition’ filed value to ‘0’ may fix this issue.
To do so, kindly execute the attached script ‘Dataelement fix.sql’ against the database, refresh the browser and click on the Dataelement. Now we should see the relevant Dataelement information.
Note: In case if any help needed, kindly contact support or create a new case for assistance.

Question:
What are the detailed information one can see in the log file if the DebugLogLevel is set to '5' in the registry entry.
Answer:
By default, the DebugLogLevel will be set to '0' once AdminStudio is installed.
To capture the detailed logs set the DebugLogLevel to '5' in the below mentioned registry entry
Regedit>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\InstallShield\AdminStudio>DebugLogLevel.
After setting the DebugLogLevel to '5' restart the AdminStudio host process and the application.
Now the user should able to see detailed information like 'Errors', 'Warnings', 'Info' and 'Debug'.
NOTE: ISCMIDE.log, AdminStudio Host.log and AdminStudio.log files helps to store the information performed in the AdminStudio IDE.
Debug - Information that is diagnostically helpful to people (IT, sysadmins, etc.) to debug an application.
Info - Generally useful information to log (service start/stop, configuration assumptions, etc). Designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
Warn - Anything that can potentially cause application oddities, but for which automatically recovering. (Such as switching from a primary to backup server, retrying an operation, missing secondary data, etc.)
Error - Any error which is fatal to the operation, but not the service or application (can't open a required file, missing data, etc.). These errors will force user (administrator, or direct user) intervention. These are usually reserved for incorrect connection strings, missing services, etc.
It is recommended to set the DebugLogLevel to '5' to gather more info in the log files during troubleshooting of an issue.
