Effects of Scan-Setting Changes on Rescans

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R1

One type of change event that does effect a full rescan by either Automated Analysis or Advanced Analysis (or both) is an update to settings in the scan profile associated with the rescan. Depending on which settings have changed, the full rescan could be more expensive (requiring more time and resources) than other full rescans.

Note • Keep in mind that, if you have applied a new scan profile to your project, only those profile settings that are different from the settings in the previously associated profile will impact the rescan.

The following table provides a list of the scan profile settings and the type of full rescan to expect should any of the settings be updated prior to a codebase rescan.
