Listing
The feenix.ai platform supports SaaS and server product listings, where SaaS listings are typically multi-tenant solutions that are deployed by the seller and the subscriber would gain access to them. However, in cloud marktplaces, they could also be solutions that are deployed by the seller in the buyers cloud account. Server products are images of software that is made available through the cloud marketplace, and the buyer gets access to deploy that software on compute instances that they deploy in theri account.
In this section, we will focus on SaaS listings and how the feenix.ai platform can support the creation of new listings, or migrating existing ones.
Listing Management
After onboarding a seller account, the platform will import listing information from that seller account. To view the listings, navigate to the “products” menu where you can find current listings in that account.
This view enables the user to create new listings, or manage current listings. Each listing will have one of the following "States" values:
Unmanaged
Listing exists in the cloud marketplace account, has been imported but is not managed by the feenix.ai platform
Listings in this stats are in read-only mode and can be migrated to manage by feenix.ai
Listed
A listing that has been successfully created by feenix.ai or migrated to the feenix.ai platform
Fully managed by the feenix.ai platform
Listing Failed
A listing that failed at creation via the AWS Marketplace API. Hovering over the note or viewing the slider will provide details on the failure reason
To clear this state, you can click the "Reset" action item to clear the failure and re-create the listing request
Update Failed
A listing that failed an update request via AWS Marketplace API. Hovering over the note or viewing the slider will provide details on the failure reason
To clear this state, you can click the "Reset" action item to clear the failure and retry the update
Updating
A transient state for a listing that is has been updated but AWS Marketplace has not completed the update request
Some updates take 5-10 minutes to get processed, while others take days (required AWS Marketplace review)

After completing the form and clicking the “Migrate” button, the platform will automatically deploy the registration page, update the listing to link to the new registration page.
