Inventory Object: ConsolidatedFileEvidence

FlexNet Manager Suite 2023 R1 (On-Premises)

ConsolidatedFileEvidence objects are uploaded to the ConsolidatedFileEvidence table in the operations (inventory) database. Multiple imports will merge updated data with existing records, and add new records as applicable.

ConsolidatedFileEvidence provides a simpler interface to specify files and their usage on computers. It combines the computer, file evidence and usage details into a single row.

Attributes are listed here in alphabetical order.

Property	Attributes	Notes
AccessMode	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 128 characters). Default: 1. Mandatory. Database key.	The access mode of the file evidence. Leave this blank unless this row is a virtualized application. In that case choose one of the values below that matches your application or desktop virtualization infrastructure. Note: Strictly, this attribute may be null, because it forms part of a compound database key. However, null values may cause import errors (where this object does not get imported), and multiple records from the same connection having nulls may cause data loss through over-writing. It is therefore best practice to treat this field as mandatory.
Company	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 100 characters). Default: . Mandatory. Database key.	The company in the file header. Note: Strictly, this attribute may be null, because it forms part of a compound database key. However, null values may cause import errors (where this object does not get imported), and multiple records from the same connection having nulls may cause data loss through over-writing. It is therefore best practice to treat this field as mandatory.
ComputerID	Unsigned integer (bigint). Mandatory. Database key.	The identifier used in the source connection for the computer. It must match the ComputerID from the Computer spreadsheet or the row will be ignored.
Description	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 200 characters). Default: . Mandatory. Database key.	The description in the file header. Note: Strictly, this attribute may be null, because it forms part of a compound database key. However, null values may cause import errors (where this object does not get imported), and multiple records from the same connection having nulls may cause data loss through over-writing. It is therefore best practice to treat this field as mandatory.
FileName	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 256 characters). Mandatory. Database key.	The name of the file used as evidence of software installation. For unix operating systems include the full path in the file name, including the opening '/'. For Windows operating systems the file path is specified in the FilePath column and this column must only contain the file name.
FilePath	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 400 characters). May be null.	The path of the file used as evidence of software installation.
FileSize	Unsigned integer (int). Default: 0. Mandatory. Database key.	The size of the file in bytes. Note: Strictly, this attribute may be null, because it forms part of a compound database key. However, null values may cause import errors (where this object does not get imported), and multiple records from the same connection having nulls may cause data loss through over-writing. It is therefore best practice to treat this field as mandatory.
FileVersion	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 100 characters). Default: . Mandatory. Database key.	The version number of the file used as evidence of software installation. Note: Strictly, this attribute may be null, because it forms part of a compound database key. However, null values may cause import errors (where this object does not get imported), and multiple records from the same connection having nulls may cause data loss through over-writing. It is therefore best practice to treat this field as mandatory.
Language	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 200 characters). May be null.	The language in the file header.
LastUsedDate	An ASCII string of alphanumeric characters and punctuation (length 10 characters). May be null.	The last used date of the usage.
NumberOfSessions	Unsigned integer (bigint). May be null.	The number of sessions that the file evidence was in use by the user specified in the UserID column during the usage tracking period. If multiple users used the same application on the computer, create one row for each user with usage.
ProductName	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 200 characters). May be null.	The product name in the file header.
ProductVersion	Alpha-numeric text (maximum 200 characters). May be null.	The product version number in the file header.
StartDate	An ASCII string of alphanumeric characters and punctuation (length 10 characters). May be null.	The start date of the usage.
UserID	Unsigned integer (bigint). Mandatory. Database key.	The DOMAIN/SAMAccountName for the user that the file evidence was used by. If this software was used by multiple users, create one row for each user of the software on the computer. Note: Strictly, this attribute may be null, because it forms part of a compound database key. However, null values may cause import errors (where this object does not get imported), and multiple records from the same connection having nulls may cause data loss through over-writing. It is therefore best practice to treat this field as mandatory.
