Forcing a Full Codebase Rescan
A forced full-codebase rescan enables you to scan your entire codebase at any time even if no change has occurred in your codebase, in your scan settings, or with the Code Insight or Compliance Library (CL) version. Such a rescan might be required, for example, to view the latest changes to inventory or to apply any new custom detection rules. See the following topics for more information:

| • | Custom-Rule Application During a Forced Full Rescan |
Keep in mind that a full rescan can take considerable time.
For general information about how any rescan handles existing system-generated inventory and manually created or updated inventory, see Handling of Edited Inventory During Rescans. For specific information about how the forced full rescan applies custom rules to existing system-generated inventory, see Custom-Rule Application During a Forced Full Rescan.
