Common Tab

On the Common tab of the Deployment view, you need to select the deployment technology that App Portal should use to perform user syncing, computer syncing, evaluating collection membership, and other tasks.

You can connect App Portal to multiple deployment technologies: Microsoft Intune, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, Symantec Altiris, Workspace ONE UEM (mobile applications), Jamf Pro (Macintosh desktop applications), and Jamf Cloud. You can also specify a custom connection string to another third-party deployment technology. You are permitted to set up App Portal to perform some tasks with one deployment technology and other tasks with a different deployment technology.

The Common subtab includes the following properties:

Settings > Deployment View / Common Tab

Property	Description
Define order for detecting client deployment technology	If you have entered connection settings for more than one deployment technology, specify the order in which App Portal will check them to determine which deployment technology the end user’s computer is a client of.
Syncing Users	Select the deployment technology that App Portal should use to sync users using built-in sync queries: • Not Defined  • ConfigMgr  • SCCM 2012  • Intune  • Altiris  Important:If you are going to specify a custom user sync connection string in the Custom User Sync Settings area below, set this field to Not Defined.
Syncing Computers	Select the deployment technology that App Portal should use to sync computers using built-in sync queries: • Not Defined  • ConfigMgr  • SCCM 2012  • Intune  • Altiris  Important:If you are going to specify a custom computer sync connection string in the Custom Computer Sync Settings and Custom User Computer Map Sync Settings areas below, set this field to Not Defined.
Evaluating collection membership	Select the deployment technology that App Portal should use to evaluate collection membership for standard conditions: • Not Defined  • ConfigMgr  • SCCM 2012  • Altiris
Inventory / OS Deployment	Select the deployment technology that you want App Portal to use to perform OS deployments and to read inventory data: • Not Defined  • ConfigMgr  • SCCM 2012  Note:Not supported for Altiris unless also using FlexNet Manager Suite.
Sync Page Size	Specify the batch size that App Portal should use to process users and computers. The default value is 100.
Sync Command Timeout (in seconds)	Specify the timeout value in seconds for the Sync Data command. The default value is 300.
Sync Data Now	Click to sync App Portal using the current selections. Note:Until you sync user and computer data with the selected deployment technology, App Portal will not recognize the logged in user. Note:The sync also happens at 2:00 a.m. each morning. To configure the time, open the Site Management > Settings > Timers tab and edit the Time of day to sync users and computers field.
Custom User Sync Settings	If you want App Portal to use custom user sync queries, enter those queries in the following text boxes: • Custom User ID Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain user IDs so that App Portal can process them in batch. See example in Custom User ID Sync SQL Query. • Custom User Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain all user columns. Some of the columns and their names are mandatory, as described in the provided query sample. See example in Custom User Sync SQL Query. • Custom User Sync Connection String—If you do not specify a custom connection string, App Portal will default to the connection string of the technology selected for Syncing Users. See example in Custom User Sync Connection String. Important:If you are using a custom source for user syncing, be sure to set the Syncing Users property to Not Defined.
Custom Computer Sync Settings	If you want to use custom computer sync queries, enter those queries in the following text boxes: • Custom Computer ID Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain computer IDs so that App Portal can process them in batch. See example in Custom Computer ID Sync SQL Query. • Custom Computer Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain all computer columns. Some of the columns and their names are mandatory, as described in the provided query sample. See example in Custom Computer Sync SQL Query. • Custom Computer Sync Connection String—If you do not specify a custom connection string, App Portal will default to the connection string of the technology selected for Syncing Users. See example in Custom Computer Sync SQL Query. Important:If you are using a custom source for computer syncing, be sure to set the Syncing Computers property to Not Defined.
Custom User Computer Map Sync Settings	If you want to use custom user computer map sync settings, enter those queries in the following text boxes: • Custom User Computer Map ID Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain user IDs and computer IDs so that App Portal can process them in batch. See example in Custom User Computer Map ID Sync SQL Query . • Custom User Computer Map Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain all user and computer columns. Some of the columns and their names are mandatory, as described in the provided query sample. See example in Custom User Computer Map Sync SQL Query . • Custom User Computer Map Sync Connection String—If you do not specify a custom connection string, App Portal will default to the connection string of the technology selected for Syncing Users.

Workaround for Intune Domain Name Sync Limitation

Microsoft Intune has a limitation of not being able to provide the domain value of the device. Due to this, if Intune is chosen as the source of device data sync, App Portal does not currently have support for license governance capabilities like license reservation and license reclamation. This is because device domain is an important value while getting license position and usage details from FlexNet Manager Suite. Due to this limitation, for customers who have a comanaged setup where they are using both Configuration Manager and Intune, for now, the recommendation would be to use Configuration Manager as the source of data sync until Intune provides the capability to fetch domain name. However, if Intune is chosen as the source for data sync, a workaround is provided to fetch the device domain data which is detailed in Intune Domain Name Limitation and Workaround.
