This page will help you solve problems related to Universal Importer. The Universal Importer is a special analysis tool enabling you to import the results of an analysis carried out with an external analyzer (i.e. an analyzer external to CAST) into the CAST Analysis Service.
When using the Universal Importer, do not use it to create standard objects. Standard objects are ones which are already created by CAST such as J2EE objects, CPP objects, etc.
Creating standard objects can result in:
- Items not being properly displayed in TCC
- Incorrect metrics counts, such as function point counts
- Missing associations between objects and their links which can affect transactions and function points
The Universal Importer should be used only for:
- Creating links
- Custom languages only with a specific project (Siebel, PeopleSoft) or generic extractor
You can see more details on this in the release documentation.
