 | Backup Application | Please see Backup an Application for more information. | ||||
 | Rename Application | Use this option to rename your Application. A dialog box will be displayed enabling you to input the new name for your Application. Renaming an Application will also rename it in the Source Code Delivery Folder and therefore in the CAST AIC Portal. | ||||

 | Open Dashboard | When clicked, the CAST Management Studio will launch a temporary CAST Engineering / Security Dashboard. This is primarily for validating a Snapshot. The portal is run on a JVM launched by the CAST Management Studio, hence an additional "java.exe" process will be displayed in Windows Task Manager. The JVM is killed when the CAST Management Studio is closed.

 | Upload Snapshots to Measurement Service | Please see the Execute tab in the Application editor for more information. | ||||
 | Analysis |  | Run Analysis only | Please see Run analysis. | ||
 | Test Analysis | Will run an analysis on the current Application and all child Analysis Units but no results will be saved to the CAST Analysis Service. This is purely for testing the analysis can run without error: you can consult the log files to resolve an issue before you use the run an analysis option or Generate a Snapshot, both of which will save the results to the Analysis Service. | ||||
| Drop Analysis Results | Please see Drop Analysis Results. | ||||
 | Review Dynamic Links | Please see Reviewing Dynamic Links. | ||||
