CAST Universal Analyzer Framework - Information - Modifying the default KSH metamodel for use in the AD Dashboard

Purpose

The KSH profile located under '<CAST_INSTALLATION_FOLDER>\configuration\Languages' does not contain any diagnostics that can be computed by CAST ADGAdmin. This profile can only be used to run an analysis. If you need to see the KSH module in the AD Dashboard with diagnostic(s) and metric(s) results, you need to use the already existing package available for Shell - CAST AIP Extensions > CAST AIP Extensions Documentation > CAST AIP Extensions > For Shell or customize the KSHMetaModel.xml file as described in the chapter How to handle a language for the AD Dashboard located in the Universal Analyzer Framework Admin Guide.

 After making the modification, you need to save, validate and load the modified KSH profile to replace the default profile by using one of the following two processes:

Applicable in CAST Version
Release
Yes/No
8.0.x(tick)
7.3.x(tick)
7.2.x(tick)
7.0.x(tick)
