Operational Dashboard
FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications provides an Operational Dashboard that provides data about license usage, denials, and license server status for both FlexEnabled and LUM-enabled applications. The Operational Dashboard does not provide usage monitoring for features that have unlimited availability (are uncounted).
Accessible from within the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications user interface, the Operational Dashboard opens in a separate browser window. The Operational Dashboard uses the Cognos Business Insight feature, which provides a flexible and configurable framework for you to view your enterprise’s usage data. (For information about working with IBM’s Business Insight dashboard, click the help icon located in the toolbar at the top of the Operational Dashboard window.)
By default, the Operational Dashboard contains five mini-versions of reports (called report widgets). You can drag the report widgets around the dashboard page to display data where you want to see it. You can also add your own reports to the Operational Dashboard.
Server Time Zones and Accurate Display of Usage Data
Because the Operational Dashboard uses time zone information from both the reporting database server and the Flexera Analytics (Cognos) server to display usage data, it is important that both the reporting database server and the Flexera Analytics (Cognos) server are in the same time zone. It is also recommended that the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications servers be in the same time zone.
