Device Updates Extract

The Device Update Extract job reports on status log updates. It requires that producers configure their application beforehand to send status log updates via the /statusLog REST API. Otherwise, the Device Update Extract job does not return any data. For more information, see the Status Log section in the FlexNet Operations User Guide.

The first time the Device Update Extract job runs it creates a snapshot of device update events from the day prior to the day the job runs. (Devices updated from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59, FlexNet Operations server time, on the previous day are captured when the job runs). Subsequently, when this job runs, it creates a snapshot from the end time of the last successful run to the current time.

A successful run of this job creates a comma-separated value (CSV) file. The job output is a snapshot of devices updated; it does not include historical device data.

The first line of the job output contains the header information for the table described by the CSV. If no devices were updated in the job period, the CSV output includes only the header row content. This extract is only available to users who have purchased both the FlexNet Embedded and Updates and Insights features.

Note:The date/time format of the data extract is controlled by the Use ISO 8601 time format in extracts configuration option. For more information, see Configuring System Settings | General Options in the FlexNet Operations User Guide.
