Configuring SaaS Manager Connector
IT Asset Management
(Cloud)
Prerequisites
With the cloud implementation of IT Asset Management, integration with Flexera One SaaS Management is simple. The general prerequisite is that you have licensed Flexera One SaaS Management.
For a license to show in IT Asset Management, you also need to make sure that
the following fields of the license have values populated in the Flexera One SaaS Management. For more details about these fields, see Licenses Tab in the Flexera One Help.
- # of Items Allowed
- Amount
- Payment Frequency
- Effective Date
- Ending Date
Set up
Go to the IT Asset Management Settings General page
(), select the
Integrations tab, expand the SaaS
Manager section, and select the Enable
SaaS Manager integration check box. There are more details in the online help for that
page.
Tip: In the FlexNet Beacon software (from version
14.3.0), there is a separate connector to Flexera One SaaS Management in the group
of inventory connections configured with PowerShell. You should ignore that
connector. That is available for other customers using on-premises
implementations of IT Asset Management; but since you are using the
Flexera cloud implementation, integration for
you is simpler and quicker, as described above.
Scheduling
No scheduling is required. The import from Flexera One SaaS Management happens automatically as part of the overnight full inventory import and license consumption calculations. This means that from the moment you enable the connector, data from Flexera One SaaS Management appears in your system the next day.
Validation
The day after configuring your connector, validate operations by:
- Identifying a licensed application listed in Flexera One SaaS Management.
- Finding the same application listed in IT Asset Management, and validate that the appropriate data is recorded. For example, there is a SaaS User license attached (except for Microsoft Office 365, which should have a Named User license attached).
