Rescanning Your Codebase

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R1

During a codebase scan, FlexNet Code Insight uses a combination of Automated Analysis and Advanced Analysis techniques to identify open-source and third-party code in your product (see What Is a FlexNet Code Insight Scan?)

Both analysis types run separate scans. When you run the initial scan on your codebase, they each perform a full scan (that is, a scan on all codebase files). For any subsequent codebase rescan that a user initiates, each analysis type performs either a full rescan, an incremental rescan (that is, a scan on only changed codebase files), or no rescan. The type of rescan executed for an analysis type depends on changes that might have occurred in your codebase or with your Code Insight configuration or version prior to the rescan. A full rescan can be costly.

The following topics provide information you should know about the rescan process and includes instructions on initiating a rescan:
