Installing SaaS Management Data Ingestion Utility application as a Microsoft Windows service

Note:This enhancement is available with SaaS Management.

You can now install the FSM Data Ingestion Utility application as a Windows Service. Installing an application as a Window Service provides greater security by starting automatically at boot without anyone having to sign in. Windows Services also run continuously as they will not stop or exit when a user signs out.

Download and installation instructions

To download the utility’s MSI file, see the attachment in the Flexera Community Knowledge Base article Flexera SaaS Management Data Ingestion Utility.

After clicking Install to open the MSI file, an InstallShield Wizard opens. In the Setup Type window, select the Advanced option. The FSM Data Ingestion Utility features are installed along with Flexera One's SaaS Management Data Ingestion Service. This option is recommended for advanced users who wish to schedule CSV and API tasks using Windows Service.
