This page provides a description of different logs created while running the analysis.
In this page, the different logs lines corresponding to the task Run Analysis for <Technology> is listed with functional and technical explanation of the logs that it generates.
There could be one or many analysis units for each Application.
During this step the process of source code analysis of all Analysis Units in the Application takes place.
For more information on this refer to the below documentation links -
For 8.0.x : CAST Management Studio - Help > Configuration > Preferences > CAST General
For official documentation 8.0.x : CMS - Run analysis only
In this page we have considered an example of a Mainframe analysis.
Select the log lines that you are interested in from the list below
