Updates and Insights
The following new enhancement is available for Updates and Insights in this release.
Important:Updates and Insights is a paid module.
Support for Update Requests from Server Devices
Updates and Insights now supports requests for updates and associated manifests from server devices, so that served devices can call the following APIs in the Notification Server:
| • | Updates |
| • | Signed Updates |
| • | Status Log |
For these calls, a new optional parameter called deviceClass has been added to the request payload so that the device making the request can be specified as a server.
Note the following:
| • | This enhancement applies to the Updates and Insights APIs only. Server device Updates and Insights activity is not yet reported on the FlexNet Operations Producer or End-User Portal devices pages. |
| • | The Updates and Insights API used to register devices does not support server devices. Instead, a server device must always be created in the FlexNet Operations UI before it can start requesting Update information. |
