I would have thought so too, but granting DB_Owner permissions to the FNMSCompliance provides access to all objects (tables, views, function), but not the actual data. All queries just load a blank result unless launching the UI with the same account

Hi Kclausen, are you aware of any limitations for running this type of query for a service account? We have tried to setup an alteryx workflow to grab software license data directly from SQL, & even though we granted the alteryx service accout admin rights, it doesn't natively have access to the SQL data. However once we launch the FlexNet UI (using the alteryx service account), then it has access to the data for about 2 weeks. We then need to repeat the process of launching the UI with the alteryx service account. I opened a support ticket, & the response was this was working as designed.. and that direct access to the SQL data is not supported.

I've actually previously submitted this under the Workflow Manager idea page last month: Automate publishing via iPlugIn integration with Workflow | Ideas (aha.io) Should I post it in both forums?

Ralph_Crowley · ‎May 18, 2021

Yes, I'm aware the ability to publish is available - I was was referring to the option of having it part of the workflow/automation (after a package is created).

Great improvements - but when will we see native integration with App Broker to further automate the package process by also creating catalog items? We currently have to leverage our own custom scripts to achieve this final step, but it would seem to be a natural evolution of the product. Also having the automated integration into FlexNet to create the local ARLs would be extremely helpful as well.

To chime in abit, I've recently learned that if obtaining the Cloud Service provider info (Microsoft Azure) is important for your environment, this also cannot be achieved with just the sccm agent.

thanks Charles!

Sorry to jump on this topic with a related question .. but if users were in a AD group, is there an option to EXCLUDE users based upon AD group membership? Thought I only saw inclusion options under Site & Catalog security. Also if using reverse dns as computer discovery.. is there a way to restrict access based upon client type ? (ex: exclude any Mac devices from accessing App Broker). thxs

we are on FNMS 2020 R1

Anyone else experiencing an issue where the native Azure connection tests successful (in the beacon UI) but fails when actually executing? I can run all the same commands used by the connector directly in powershell, & all return data (so no access or firewall issues). I've opened a support case which was escalated to Engineering, but curious if others may have experienced this issue. #1 -Connect-AzureRmAccount -Credential <credential> -TenantID <tenantid> -ServicePrincipal #2 - Get-AzureRmSubscription #3-Get-AzureRmVmSize -Location <A specified Azure Location, e.g. US Central> #4-Get-AzureRmLocation I review this flexera KB - and all tests successful.

Same issue as @rwiltshire - BindServer(<server ip>, proto=https, port=0) failed.

Ralph_Crowley · ‎Jan 06, 2021

I experienced this problem last week in our environment. The root cause in our instance was that the CAB file wasn't completely downloaded, so the digital signature was failing.

Great reference guide! - and yes, I would agree that the WD_ApprovalXXX tables are difficult to decipher, especially if trying to identify members of an approval group. Would be a great future enhancement to the canned reports 😉

Ralph_Crowley · ‎Dec 30, 2020

Support's response is that since this is a known issue, I should post up here to ask how other customers are handling the situation

ESX hosts within the same vcenter can have duplicate serial numbers, especially if cloned or vmotioned. I'm working with Flexera support & they state this is root cause why our vms missing host information. https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/esxi-host-serial-number/m-p/2760612
