Choosing a Configuration

FlexNet Manager Suite 2022 R1 (On-Premises)

With two ways (an adapter, and a connector) to collect data from BMC Discovery, you need to decide which of these to implement in your environment:

• The connector is relatively straight-forward. For details about the connector, skip ahead to How the Connector Works, and Prerequisites.
• The adapter to extract data from BMC Discovery can operate at different levels of detail, and with different overheads, that depend on what level of licensing information you need to collect. The following section gives a brief overview of how the adapter works, and explains the different configurations and how to choose between them. You need to choose the configuration appropriate for your enterprise before implementing the adapter.
