Alert Scripting

FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications provides script execution functionality as part of the alert subscription process. You can define a script—using, for example, Perl or Java—that FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications will call when one of the following events occurs:

License Server Down
Vendor Daemon Down
Concurrent License Expiring
Concurrent Usage Threshold Reached

The script is launched under the security credentials of the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications process (typically root of the machine). It is recommended that you test the command to ensure that the script will run when it is invoked.

The script is executed only if the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications user has the Execute Scripts for Alerts permission.
