Prerequisites for Importing Data

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R3

To import data, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

A FlexNet Code Insight v7 instance that is currently running.
An existing Code Insight project to which data will be imported. The type of import you want to perform determines the type of project needed (and vice versa):
To perform a standard import, you need a standard project with an uploaded and scanned codebase. The scanned codebase can be the same or similar to the one whose project data you intend to import.
To perform an inventory-only import, you need an inventory-only project with no scanned codebase. You are most likely to have an inventory-only project if the project was created as part of a remote scan on an external system using the FlexNet Code Insight Jenkins plugin or another Code Insight scan agent plugin.

For more information about import types and project types, see Comparison of Standard and Inventory-Only Imports. For instructions on creating a standard or inventory-only project, refer to Creating a Project.

Note • Running an import on a project currently being scanned is not recommended.

A valid .zip archive containing the JSON data file with the project data to be imported.
A completed Electronic Update.
