Configuring Rescans to Always Skip Unchanged Files

Code Insight 2021 R1

As described in Default Rescan Behavior, by default certain Code Insight events that might have occurred since the last scan can determine whether the rescan performs a scan on all files (full rescan) or on only those codebase files that have changed since the last scan.

However, the System Administrator can configure the scan profile associated with a project to override this default behavior. The configuration allows rescans to always skip unchanged files and scan only changed files, even if events that typically call for a full rescan have occurred. It also delineates which unchanged files are skipped: all unchanged files, only unchanged files that have been reviewed, only unchanged files that are associated with inventory, or only unchanged files that are both reviewed and associated with inventory.

See your System Administrator about the rescan configuration options.

Note:The current rescan configuration options are ignored if the user initiates a forced full rescan. All files— both changed and unchanged—are completely scanned.
