Managing App Portal Application Information

AdminStudio 2020 R2 SP1 | 20.01 | Application Manager

Edition:Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

AdminStudio can communicate with App Portal and the FlexNet Manager Suite via the Flexera Service Gateway, as described in Integrating with Other Flexera Applications via the Flexera Service Gateway.

When AdminStudio is integrated with App Portal, when you publish a supported application from AdminStudio to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, Symantec Altiris Server, or Casper Suite Server, you can choose to have a catalog item for that application automatically created in App Portal. And, if you are integrated with FlexNet Manager Suite, automatic license management can also be performed.

On the App Portal Information tab of the Application View, you need to specify the following:

Whether to create a catalog item—Specify whether you want a new App Portal catalog item to be created when the supported application is published to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, Symantec Altiris Server, or Casper Suite Server. To indicate that you want to create an App Portal catalog item upon publish, you need to:
Select Notify option—Click on the browse button in the Categories field to open the Categories dialog box, and select the Notify Flexera App Portal on publish of current Application option.
Specify categories—On the Categories dialog box, select an App Portal category or categories for this new catalog item.
Descriptions—Enter the Brief Description and Long Description that will describe the new catalog item in App Portal.
Template—Optionally, select an App Portal template that you want to base the new catalog item on.
Keywords—Optionally, enter keywords that you wan the new catalog item to be searchable by in the App Portal Browse Home tab.

If AdminStudio is integrated with FlexNet Manager Suite, you should also open the General Information tab of the Application View and determine whether a Flexera Identifier is associated with this application. If not, you need to search for an application’s Flexera Identifier, which is used when integrating with FlexNet Manager Suite to perform automatic license management. For more information, see Managing an Application's Flexera Identifier.
