FNMS/Flexera One data source

Data Manager is included in all Service Collection Premium and Enterprise plans.

FNMS/Flexera One (FlexNet Manager Suite or Flexera One) is a tool produced by Flexera that is used for asset management.

The FNMS/Flexera One data source securely connects to FNMS/Flexera One and uses an API to bring information into Data Manager. The API can be used with on‑prem or cloud instances.

This task requires Data Manager & Adapters admin permissions to complete. See how permissions and roles work in Data Manager.

Before creating the connection, you must have a Custom View set up in FNMS/Flexera One:

  • Build or reuse a Custom View in the Inventory or Asset space with the fields you need.

  • Save the report and note the report number from the URL – this becomes your Custom View ID.

  • Any FNMS/Flexera One table can be consumed, as long as the report is set up and the Custom View ID is available.

How do I connect FNMS/Flexera One to Data Manager?

  1. Gather all of the Data Manager type information, including the data source name, short display name, and the data source type.

  2. Gather the FNMS/Flexera One fields – this may require consultation with the FNMS/Flexera One subject matter expert (SME).

  3. In Data Manager, add a new data source by selecting the tool you which to connect and configure with all the gathered information.

Each time this data source is fetched the data becomes raw data.

Data Manager fields

You need to specify the following information from Data Manager:

  • Data source name – the name of the data source used to run, transform, map, cleanse, and import the data.

  • Short display name – a unique name as a data source label.

  • Data source type – what type of data the tool is providing. For example, Assets, CMDB, user location.

FNMS/Flexera One fields

  • API URL

    • Cloud: https://<your-FNMS-URL>/ManageSoftServices/ComplianceAPIService/ComplianceAPIService.asmx?orgid=<Your Org ID>

    • On‑prem: https://<your-FNMS-URL>/ManageSoftServices/ComplianceAPIService/ComplianceAPIService.asmx

  • API access token

    • Cloud – enter your API token.

    • On‑prem – set this to a period character ..

  • Custom View ID – report number of the view to connect to.

  • Tenant‑ID

    • Cloud – available in the tenant table in the Compliance DB.

    • On‑prem – not needed unless you use on‑prem multi‑tenancy.

Tenant‑ID note

In a multi‑tenant on‑prem environment, you must use the numeric TenantID rather than the TenantUID shown in the URL. Ask an SME with DB access to run:

SELECT * FROM tenant;

The last column is typically TenantID (for example 2), while TenantUID is a much longer string.

Authentication and authorization

  • Cloud – managed using an API token.

  • On‑prem – the user account must be created in FNMS and granted API access.

  • Ensure firewall rules allow communication between the Adapters client server and FNMS.
