Data Library

The following is a new enhancement to the functionality that enables users to update the Code Insight data library with custom components and licenses that represent OSS, third-party, and commercial software entities not found in the library.

Immediate Indexing of Custom Components in Data Library

Newly created custom components or updates to an existing custom component updates are saved immediately to your Code Insight database. However, until this release, the process of indexing a new or updated custom component in the Code Insight data library was performed only during an Electronic Update. Consequently, the custom component or its updates were not globally available for user searches (through the UI or REST API) against the data library until the Electronic Update occurred.

In this release, the process of indexing a new or updated custom component begins in the background as soon as the component is created or updated. Indexing takes only a half minute or less per component. (However, to avoid issues, you are advised to wait until the indexing is finished before using the Global Component & License Lookup feature or the Component Search REST API to search components in the data library.)

For more information, refer to the “Creating a Custom Component” section in the Code Insight User Guide.
