I would not expect there to be any issues. In terms of the licensing, a server is just a device that is identified by the server OS. I would expect the license to still have 'devices' available that could be used by the EUC. You can verify what you have available in the FlexNet Manager Suite License page /Suite/YourFNMPLicense/Index This will show what you have available on your license. If you have devices available, then your standard OS devices should count against this total.

FNMS Analytics from Cognos will only work with the version that it ships with. I believe the current plan for FNMS On-Premises is to include 11.0.13 with the next on-prem release, which should be FNMS 2020 R1. Unfortunately, I am not aware of what the current ETA for the release of this.

I would first ensure that you have everything setup. We have this KB article along with the adapters reference that covers this. This is what I would refer to for best practice when setting up and using these adapters. There should be several diagrams that cover the different ways this can be implemented, and what data is gathered: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/How-to-Inventory-Citrix-XenDesktop-and-XenApp-using-FlexNet/ta-p/122531 https://docs.flexera.com/fnms/EN/WebHelp/PDF%20Documents/Cloud/FNMSInvAdaptersAndConnectorsReference.pdf As far as validating the data this is something that you will need to ensure that you are seeing applications being recognized for users that are using them, and they you are seeing licensing being consumed as expected for the sample set you decide to use to validate the inventory. Hope this helps!

It appears that you already have a case with support that you are working on this. It would appear that the difference in data is the result of an error during the migration scripts execution. Since you already have a support case for this, it would be best to continue to work through that.

You can also run the executable responsible directly, sometimes this will give a much better output than the logs and we do often recommend this for troubleshooting. This would just involve running MgsImportRecognition.exe, without any switches. This will be located by default in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\bin

The SoftwareTitle table will contain information about any software being managed by FNMS. This would come from our ARL, as well as local applications. In this regard, this table should be updated anytime something is updated from ARL, you create a local application, or modify a local application. If you are talking about the standard reporting (not Analytics powered by Cognos), these details should be able to be reported on using "Application", as well as some others, possibly "Assigned license". If you are using Analytics then I believe this data should be accessible in one of the data models. For more information on the tables and the Analytics data models, I would suggest checking out the schema reference we have: https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2019R2/EN/WebHelp/PDF%20Documents/On-Prem/FNMSSchemaReference.pdf

I completely agree that the best approach would be to do a migration of the OS instead of an in-place upgrade, and doing a clean install of FNMS on the new server. Doing this would also allow you to keep FNMS up and running, and could remain running if any issues were faced in the migration.

You can find logs on the App server/batch processor by default in %ProgramData%\Flexera Software\Compliance\Logging\Content The logs in here could give some insight into what is causing the problem. Depending on exactly where it is at in processing, it may not be the cleanest task to kill. You can see if there is anything being processed by the batch processor with .\BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe list-tasks ( located by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\bin). The scheduled process is being run through the shodowhost.exe, and there could be more than one task being run from this. If this was previously working fine, then I would check a few things that could impact this, like if security software may be involved, like an AV scan occurring during this task. If it is at the stage that it is writing to the DB, then it could also be a performance issue on the SQL server, especially if other jobs are running at that time.

If you are referring to scheduling the InventoryScanner, this would just be something that you should be able to do through a scheduled task (if we are talking Windows). The main advantage of the InventoryScanner is that it is a single executable, so there is not much to track or manage with it compared to the full agent install. I would suggest just doing some simple tests on a test VM, to see which would work better for your use.

Yes, this is something that you could do. I would suggest looking into the InventoryScanner as an option if you were using a rule to inventory this before with 0 foot print. You could also install an agent, and remove the INSTALLMACHINEPOLICY = 1 from the setup response. This will cause the agent to be installed, but it will do nothing. This could then be run from a scheduled task. For command line options and more details on the InventoryScanner I would reference the Gathering Inventory guide: https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/fnms/EN/WebHelp/PDF%20Documents/Cloud/GatheringFlexNetInventory.pdf

As a first step, I would advise reviewing this KB article, to make sure that everything was configured correctly: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/How-to-Inventory-Citrix-XenDesktop-and-XenApp-using-FlexNet/ta-p/122531

This looks like it was not an intentional thing to remove. I will submit a ticket to development to check into this.

If you do not see these options you will want to open a support case so someone from the support team can help. They are missing because of they way permissions are provisioned for FNMS. These views require having a system administrator account. To rectify this you would need to modify a user entry in the Content Store database. Given the nature of what is involved to accomplish this, we provide these steps through a support case as opposed to public forum or KB articles.

If you went though the KB, did you do the steps outlined in the IBM KB? Specifically these: To get the JDBC data source connection working: - Go to Cognos Administration -> Configuration tab -> Dispatchers and Services - Click on the dispatcher server to drill down to the services - Beside the QueryService, click the Set Properties button - Go to the Settings tab - Add the following the Additional JVM Arguments for the QueryService setting -Dcom.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultTLS=true - Click OK - Click on the Status tab - Select System - Click on the server to drill down to the services - Beside QueryService, click the drop down arrow - Select "Stop immediately" - Wait 30 seconds for it to fully stop - Click the drop down again and select "Start immediately" If you did the rest of the steps, the test connection would work, but the widgets and reports still may not load the data, as the QueryService needs to have the JVM argument added to support TLS.

The second error seems to indicate that this is a connection issue with the driver Cognos is using, and the SQL server. Is your SQL server currently configured to use TLS? If this is the case, then you may just need to follow the steps to configure Cognos to support TLS, including modifying the JVM argument for the QueryService to work with TLS. We have this KB that discusses this: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/Analytics-Cognos-connection-to-SQL-server-fails-when-server-is/ta-p/113351
