Specifying Feature Information: XML Attributes

You can specify attributes in an XML file to provide information for use in Flexera Analytics reports. You can import this XML file at the command line, or copy it to the directory <data_dir>\vendorFeatureInfo. (If you copy the file to the vendorFeatureInfo directory, the file must be named vendor_feature.xml.)

To specify information about product family and token cost for consumptive-token–based reports, and the cost factor for chargeback reports, use the attributes as described in the following table.
