Feature Improvements
Technology updates
SAP ABAP
ABAP code previously causing syntax errors during an analysis is now supported. For a full list, see Technology coverage changes in CAST AIP 8.3.x.
User Input Security
Sanitization is no longer defined by simple method names. Now, this sanitization:
- is defined by classic blackbox files. These blackbox files are provided by default
- is still specialized by technology and quality rule
- is specialized for each method parameter
A list of libraries automatically taken in to account for Sanitzation is available in User Input Security - predefined methods.
CAST Enlighten
Add Linked Objects window
When using the Add Linked Objects window, it is now possible to filter specifically on links without their sub link types. For example, previously it was not possible to filter ONLY Use links - instead you were forced to select a sub link type (e.g. Use Delete, which included Use and Use Delete links). Now a new filter check box called "<LINK> Only" has been added for all link types with sub links:

Tools
CAST-AIPStorageMigrationTool.exe
The CAST-AIPStorageMigrationTool.exe tool (used for transferring CAST AIP schemas/databases from Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server instances) is no longer maintained and has been removed from CAST AIP ≥ 8.3.15 for the following reasons:
- the tool does not support transfers to CSS3/PostgreSQL 9.6
- CSS3/PosgreSQL must be used with CAST AIP ≥ 8.3.x (CSS/PostgreSQL 9.2 is deprecated for use with 8.3.x)
CASTDBTransfert.exe
The CASTDBTransfert.exe tool (used for transferring the contents of CAST AIP schemas) is no longer maintained and has been removed from CAST AIP ≥ 8.3.15.
CSSAdmin 32bit tools
The CSSAdmin 32bit tools (such as psql.exe) have been removed from the setup and will no longer be installed during a "from scratch" installation. These tools were previously available in:
%PROGRAMFILES%\CAST\8.3\CSSAdmin\3rdParties\x86\
