Creating Channel Partner Tiers
Partner tiers are added directly in the FlexNet Operations database, in the table OPS_PARTNER_TIER_NAMES. By default, two channel partner tier names are supplied: End Customer and Distributor. (These default names cannot be changed, but different display names can be substituted for them.)
Web service operations accept and return the tier name stored in the NAME column.
To add new channel partner names
|
1.
|
In FlexNet Setup, stop the FlexNet Operations server and undeploy all components: |
|
a.
|
In FlexNet Setup click System Status > Stop Server. FlexNet Setup safely shuts down the FlexNet Operations server. When the server is fully stopped, the Undeploy All button becomes active. |
|
b.
|
On the System Status page, click Undeploy All. FlexNet Setup undeploys all FlexNet Operations components. When all components have been undeployed, it is safe to make your configuration changes. |
|
2.
|
In a database editor, open the database table OPS_PARTNER_TIER_NAMES. |
|
3.
|
In the NAME column, add any new channel partner tier names you want to add. For example, bo.constants.partnertiernames.var. |
|
4.
|
Save your changes in the database editor. |
|
5.
|
Create or locate the following directory: <ops_install_dir>/custom/webapps/flexnet/WEB-INF/classes. |
|
6.
|
In this directory, find or copy into it the resource bundle file named PublisherDefinedAttributesText_en.properties. For other languages, define appropriate language specific resource bundles. |
|
7.
|
Open the copy of the PublisherDefinedAttributesText_en.properties text file in a text editor. |
|
8.
|
For each new channel partner name, defined in Step 3, enter a key NAME=<display name>. For example: bo.constants.partnertiernames.var=Value Added Reseller. |
|
9.
|
Save the PublisherDefinedAttributesText_en.properties file. |
|
10.
|
In FlexNet Setup, redeploy all components and restart the FlexNet Operations server: |
|
a.
|
In FlexNet Setup, click System Status > Deploy All. When all components have been deployed, the Start Server button becomes active. |
