How to configure replication to collect a uploaded agent files on the FlexNet Manager Suite inventory server and beacons
How to configure replication to collect a uploaded agent files on the FlexNet Manager Suite inventory server and beacons
Summary
This article covers how to configure replication settings on the FlexNet Manager Suite inventory server and beacons to save copies of agent files as they are uploaded.
This can be useful to allow inspection of details in uploaded files, or gathering files for troubleshooting purposes.
Files that can be gathered through this way include inventory (*.ndi) files and usage (*.mmi) files.
Details
The FlexNet Manager Suite inventory server and beacons have a setting called UseReplication that is disabled by default.
On beacon versions 17.3.0 and later, this setting can be enabled on the Replication page in the beacon UI. See the following online help page for details: Inventory Beacons > Replication Page.
On inventory servers and earlier beacon versions, this setting can be enabled with the following steps:
- Open Microsoft Internet Information Services Manager (IIS) on the server
- Expand the tree on the left and click on the ManageSoftRL virtual directory
- Double-click Application Settings as shown in the screenshot:
- Set the value of the following settings:
- UseReplication = true
- ReplicationLocation to the full directory path where you would like uploaded files to be saved (defaults in C:\Replication)
Alternatively, instead of modifying these setting from the IIS interface, you can configure them by directly editing the web.config file for the ManageSoftRL virtual directory. This file can be found in (by default) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\Importers.
