Projects in Code Insight 2020 R3 and Later

Code Insight 2021 R2

Starting in Code Insight 2020 R3, only one type of project is supported—a unified project used by both server and remote scans. The unified project can manage the scan results of one or more server scans, one or more remote scans, or a combination of both scan types for a given application. It also manages remote-file information sent by the scan agents. Thus, in a single project, you can audit an application’s codebase files loaded on the Scan Server and its remote codebase files—as well as review, remediate, and finalize the complete inventory of OSS and third-party software for the application, as captured from all server and remote scans.

If you are upgrading from a pre-2020 R3 Code Insight release, existing projects are handled in the upgrade as such:

•

Standard projects are automatically migrated to the new release as unified projects, enabling you to add the results of remote scans to the previous server scan results in these projects if you want.

•

Inventory-only projects are not automatically migrated to the new release as unified projects and will continue to be supported in future releases for a limited time. These legacy projects support only 2020 R2 or earlier scan-agent plugins and allow imports only from other legacy projects. You might consider manually migrating legacy projects to unified projects now even if you intend to continue to use these projects for remote scans only (see Resource for Additional Information).

In the user documentation for Code Insight 2020 R3 and later, a unified project is simply called a project. Previous inventory-only projects will be referred to as legacy projects.
