Connecting to the Flexera Service Gateway

The Flexera Service Gateway is a component that enables AdminStudio, Workflow Manager, App Portal, and FlexNet Manager Platform to communicate. When Workflow Manager is connected to the Flexera Service Gateway, you can connect an App Portal catalog item to a Workflow Manager workflow request.

In App Portal, you select an event that you want to trigger a Workflow Manager workflow (such as On Submit Approval) and the Workflow Manager project that you want to use. A workflow request is then created in Workflow Manager. When Workflow Manager completes the workflow request, the status in App Portal changes to Complete.

To connect Workflow Manager to the Flexera Service Gateway, perform the following steps:
