Introduction
Checking the results of the various actions performed in Application onboarding without Fast Scan - Standard onboarding - perform all actions is an essential part of the Standard onboarding process. Use the following to check the results:
- Check status
- Logs
- Application details
- CAST Dashboards
- CAST Imaging
Check status
When all actions have been completed, you should check the Job Progress panel for a "success" message:
Interface in ≥ 2.9

Interface in older releases (≤ 2.8)
Note that if the Progress window is not visible, you can access it by clicking the View last action outcome option in the Application Management panel:
Check logs
If you do not have a "success" message at the end of the process (i.e. if one of the steps contains an error/warning, or if the process fails entirely), you can check the individual logs for all the actions that have been performed immediately after they have completed. To check the logs, you can click the View log option in the Job Progress panel.
- See AIP Console - Logging mechanisms for more information.
- You can also use the Log Console at Application level to view all logs.
- GUID duplicate found - this message in the logs indicates that duplicate objects have been found during the analysis (perhaps two identical source code files have been delivered and only one is used). If this message is seen, analysis results may be inaccurate for the objects in question and you should therefore check for any duplicate files and if any are found, remove them, re-deliver the source code an action a new analysis.
- HEYHO / COOL - messages such as those listed below seen with a "WRN" message level should be ignored as they are internal messages that were inadvertently exposed in the log (this has been fixed in AIP Core ≥ 8.3.46):
HEYHO ! Dependency from X/X to Y/Y could not be added using Classpath Cool ! Dependency from X/X to Y/Y was added using Classpath

Check and configure CAST Imaging
First check that the version status of your Application in the AIP Console - Application Management screen is Snapshot done - this means that the source code has been analyzed and uploaded to your CAST Imaging instance. Then use the CAST Imaging icon to take you direct to the specific Application data in CAST Imaging:
You can also access your CAST Imaging instance direct from Console using the option in the top right corner:
Login with a CAST Imaging user that has the CAST Imaging ADMIN role and then check that the Application is present in the Admin Center:

You will also need to grant access to your CAST Imaging users/groups so that they can investigate the application - via a Role - see Admin Center - Roles panel:
Check CAST Dashboards - optional
You can check the results using the CAST Dashboards, specifically the Health and Engineering Dashboards - this is a quick and easy way to view the initial results. If you are using "embedded" dashboards, then you can click the Dashboard icons and instantly view the results - otherwise, you will need to log in to your standalone dashboards:
