This page provides information about the various steps that are involved in the execution of Shell Application. Shell is a technology for which the analysis is done by the Universal Analyzer i.e. Analysis of Shell can only be done if the Universal Analyzer Language Pack of Shell has been installed.

The Universal Analyzer analyzes the Shell application and this page provides the detailed information on all the processes and steps that take place after an analysis is launched.

It will give details about the information that is written in the logs that are generated for Analysis. Refer to the official documentation of Shell Extension for more details: Shell

For information on Universal Analyzer, refer to this document: Universal Analyzer

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, the different logs lines corresponding to the Run Shell Analyzer are listed with functional and technical explanation of the logs that it generates.
