Add code
Click to enlarge
To add source code:
- Drag and drop one .zip or .tar.gz file containing your source code - or click the upload cloud icon to add a file using a traditional "open file" method
- If you have configured a source code folder (see Administration Center - Settings) you can click the yellow folder to add code directly from this folder - only one folder in the designated path can be selected:
If you want to deliver source code containing:
- .NET source code: you should ensure that you define the location of the .NET Assemblies which is required for a successful analysis. See Configuring source code delivery for .NET.
- Maven based source code: you should ensure that you define the location of the Maven repositories so that any associated JAR files can be automatically discovered and that POM dependencies can also be located - which is required for a successful analysis. See Configuring source code delivery for Maven.
When you have made your option choices (see below), click either:
- FINISH, any subsequent steps will be skipped and:
- if the Generate a snapshot option is disabled, the version will be added and will appear in the Application - Versions screen.
- if the Generate a snapshot option is enabled, the analysis/snapshot will be actioned immediately.
- NEXT, see Manage Exclusions.
Options available
| Option | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Version Name | Enter a name for the Version. Default name will be set to: Version-YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS. | ||||||
| Version Date | Enter a date for the Version. Default date will be set to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM. | ||||||
| Backup application | Unticked by default. Selecting the option will cause the Application to be backed up as part of the actions you choose. When adding a new version for a new Application, enabling this option is not necessary since there is nothing to back up. When the option is enabled, some additional processing time is required while the backup completes. Backups are stored in the following location on the relevant AIP Node and can be managed in Administration Center - Applications - Application Details: <AIP_console_installation>\AipNode\data\backup\<application_name>\YYYYMMDDHHMM.zip | ||||||
| Same configuration as previous version | Only available when adding a new version when a version already exists - i.e. a "rescan" scenario. See Application rescan for more information. | ||||||
| Enable Automatic discovery | Only available when adding a new version when a version already exists and when the option Same configuration as previous version (see above) is enabled - i.e. a "rescan" scenario. See Application rescan for more information. | ||||||
| Generate a snapshot | Choose whether you want to generate a snapshot immediately after the source code is delivered: Standard onboarding For a Standard onboarding scenario, you should enable this option - you can also choose a custom name for your snapshot if you do not want to use the default Snapshot-YYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS:
Choosing the option includes the following steps that would otherwise need to be manually actioned:
If you do not select this option, you will need to perform all the above actions manually. This is explained more in Advanced onboarding. Advanced onboarding For an Advanced onboarding scenario, you should disable this option. This will allow you to work through the process of validating/accepting the version, running an analysis and generating a snapshot as separate steps. | ||||||
| Create modules | This option allows you to choose the Module strategy for your results. Modules are used extensively in the CAST dashboards as a means to configure analysis results into meaningful groups or sets for display purposes - indeed objects cannot be seen in the CAST dashboards if they are not part of a Module. The content of a module is based on source code.

CAST offers these options when creating a new version:
