Creating a Process License Recommendations Report

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2 (On-Premises)
Ensure that you have imported the recommendations from FlexNet Manager Suite into the SAP Admin module before running this report. For more information, see Importing Recommendations.
Create a Process License Recommendations report to list and process the license-type recommendations.

To create a Process License Recommendations report:

  1. In the Main menu of the SAP Admin module, click Reporting and select Process Recommendations.
    The Process Recommendations screen provides an overview of all recommendations that have been imported over time into the SAP Admin module.
  2. In the Monitor section, select the License Recommendations option. The following options are available:
    • To create an automated report that contains only recommendations of a specific status, in the Monitor section, click the number underneath the respective status. For information on the status types, see License-Type Recommendation Status.
    Option Description
    Pending Returns recommendations that have already been imported but have not yet been processed.
    Accepted Returns recommendations that have been imported previously and were accepted.
    Rejected Returns recommendations that have been imported previously and were rejected.
    Overwritten Returns recommendations that have been imported previously and for which the recommended license type was not accepted but instead changed to a different license type.
    Ignored Returns recommendations that have been imported previously but for which the status Ignore was set.
    Total Returns all available recommendations.
    • If you want to create a customized report, specify your selection criteria in the License Recommendations section. If you leave a field blank, all values are automatically selected for the report.
    Option Description
    RFC Destination Enter the system ID or range of system IDs that should be included in the report.
    User Name Enter the user ID or range of user IDs that should be included in the report.
    Original License Type Enter the license type or a range of license types that should be included in the report.
    Recommended Lic. Type Enter the recommended license type or a range of recommended license types that should be included in the report.
    Pending Select this check box if you want to include recommendations that have already been imported but have not yet been processed.
    Accepted Select this check box if you want to include recommendations that have the status Accepted.
    Rejected Select this check box if you want to include recommendations that have the status Rejected.
    Overwritten Select this check box if you want to include recommendations that have the status Overwritten.
    New License Type ... to ... This option is available when you select the Overwritten check box. You can use it to further limit the report to specific license-type recommendations that were overwritten. To do so, enter the new license type or a range of new license types.
    Ignored Select this check box if you want to include recommendations that have the status Ignored.
    Include systems with no RFC Select this check box if you want to include recommendations that are assigned to a system for which a logical RFC destination has not been set in the system landscape. These recommendations can be displayed, but they can not be processed because the corresponding system can not be accessed via RFC.
  3. Click Execute to execute the report.

The Process License Recommendations screen opens where you can evaluate the recommendations.

After you evaluated the recommendations, you can accept, reject, overwrite, and reset the recommended license type for each user. For information, see Processing License-Type Recommendations.
