RESTful Services for Data Access

The Data Access REST APIs are available for FlexNet Operations deployments in the Data Center and deployments in AWS (Amazon Web Services) in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia).

These REST APIs provide access to data in the FlexNet Operations data warehouse, giving a view of the data for reporting purposes. Using these APIs, a producer user can extract data for their tenant from any time period directly from the data warehouse. This enables them to view a history of the data without having to build up an archive in their own separate database.

 

Note:The functionality provided by the Data Access APIs is distinct from the Reporter features that are available through the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal. For information about the latter, see the section Viewing Reports in the FlexNet Operations User Guide.

Availability of Custom Attributes

The data warehouse only contains custom attributes that have been marked as "Required for Reporting" in FlexNet Operations. Consequently, only these custom attributes can be included in reports generated using the Data Access REST APIs. See the FlexNet Operations User Guide for more information, in particular the topic Creating a Custom License Model Custom Attribute.
