Change Events Resulting in Full or Incremental Rescans

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R2

The following table shows the types of change events that result in a full or an incremental rescan for Automated Analysis and Advanced Analysis should you initiate a rescan on your codebase:

Change Events Resulting in Full or Incremental Rescans
Changes to...	Automated Analysis	Advanced Analysis	Details
Codebase files	Incremental rescan	Incremental rescan	Changes in codebase files are determined by the MD5 hash digest of the files.
Automated Analysis rule set	Full rescan	No rescan	Rules are automatically pushed to your Code Insight server through both an internal process and the weekly Electronic Update.
FlexNet Code Insight version	Full rescan	No rescan	This change is usually an upgrade in the Code Insight version.
Scan profile settings	Full rescan	Full rescan	Depending on the scan profile settings that were changed, one or both analysis types will perform a full rescan. Note that changes to settings that apply to source-code matching result in an expensive Advanced Analysis full rescan. See Effects of Scan-Setting Changes on Rescans for more information. Scan profiles are configured by the Administrator as described in the FlexNet Code Insight Installation and Configuration Guide.
CL version	No rescan	Full rescan	This change is associated with a change to the CL Path value identified in the scan server setup. (This setup is handled by the Administrator, as described in the FlexNet Code Insight Installation and Configuration Guide.)
