Prerequisites for Importing Data
FlexNet Code Insight 2020 R2
To import data, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
|
•
|
A FlexNet Code Insight v7 instance currently running. |
|
•
|
An existing Code Insight project to which data will be imported (that is, a target project). The target project can be either standard or inventory-only. The following provides more detail about these target-project types: |
|
•
|
A standard target project must have a codebase that has been uploaded to the FlexNet Code Insight Scan Server and then scanned before the import. The scanned codebase should be the same as or similar to the one whose project data you intend to import. |
|
•
|
An inventory-only target project has no codebase uploaded to the Code Insight Scan Server. The most common reason for having an inventory-only project occurs when you are performing a scan on an external system using a Code Insight scan agent plugin. The scan results, consisting of scan-generated inventory items only, are sent to an inventory-only project that you have set up in Code Insight. |
Note • You can also import the results of a scanned codebase to an inventory-only project. However, the import must be configured to generate empty inventory (see Option to Create Empty Inventory).
For more information about import types and target project types, see Comparison of Standard and Inventory-Only Imports. For instructions on creating a standard or inventory-only project, refer to About Code Insight Projects.
Note • Running an import on a project currently being scanned is not recommended.
