More About Custom MID Rules

You can create custom MID rules that are unique to each Code Insight Scan Server. The custom rules are defined in a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet that the system reads (along with the MID rules in the database) each time a workspace is scanned.

The MID rules spreadsheet can be found at the following location on the Code Insight Scan Server:

<CODE_INSIGHT_ROOT_DIR>\6.14.x\config\scanEngine\multi_indicator_detector.xls

Each row in the MID rule spreadsheet represents a single MID rule. For information about MID rule attributes, see MID Rule Attributes.

In case of a multi-Scan Server installation, you must keep these custom rules synchronized across all servers. The Code Insight Scan Server does not need to be restarted if a change is made to the MID rules spreadsheet.
