Summary: This section describes how to prepare and deliver the source code of your ASP application.

Information about discovery

Discovery is a process that is actioned during the delivery process. CAST will attempt to automatically identify "projects" within your application using a set of predefined rules. This discovery process also allows CAST AIP to set the initial analysis configuration settings explained in ASP - Analysis configuration. Discoverers are currently embedded in CAST AIP Core:

ASP Discoverer

You should read the relevant documentation for each discoverer (provided in the link above) to understand how the source code will be handled.

When the Web Files Discoverer is installed and the highest level folder (within the root folder) contains files that use the .ASP file extension, a HTML5 project will be discovered (if the folder ONLY contains .ASP files, then no project is discovered). This will mean that an HTML5 Analysis Unit will be automatically configured and analyzed. You can disable this behaviour by unticking the following option in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool:

Source code delivery using CAST AIP Console

Supported in AIP Console v. ≥ 1.17.1.
See Application onboarding for more information.

AIP Console expects either a ZIP/archive file or source code located in a folder configured in AIP Console. You should include in the ZIP/source code folder all ASP source code:

.ASP

CAST highly recommends placing the files in a folder dedicated to ASP. If you are using a ZIP/archive file, zip the folders in the "temp" folder - but do not zip the "temp" folder itself, nor create any intermediary folders:

D:\temp
	|-----ASP
	|-----OtherTechno1
	|-----OtherTechno2
