The Overview with Fast Scan panel is part of the onboarding workflow introduced in 2.3.1. It will only be populated when this onboarding workflow is enabled and used - see Administration Center - Settings - Application Onboarding. See also Workflow - Application onboarding with Fast Scan.

The Header section provides basic information about the source code that has been delivered:

Click to expand

Last action date & timeDate and time the application was onboarded. When new source code is uploaded, this value will update.
Status

Indicates the current state of the application:

  • Fast scan done > The fast scan process is complete - i.e. the uploaded source code has been scanned to determine the contents: technologies/languages/frameworks. 
  • Fully analyzed > The source code has been analyzed and that upload to CAST Imaging / CAST Dashboards has occurred. Note that if any missing dependencies are detected in your source code during the analysis (i.e. code that is calling another piece of code that cannot be found) a warning icon will be displayed. This should be fully investigated and corrected because it means that results may not be coherent. Clicking the warning triangle will direct you straight to the log file to see the missing dependencies alerts. See also Validate dependency configuration.

Application MapOnly visible when the status is Fully Analyzed. Links directly to the application in CAST Imaging.
Total filesTotal number of files that have been designated as source code (i.e. programming language types) by Console during the fast scan process or during a Refresh/Upload New (see below). In other words, files that are not considered source code (i.e. image files for example) are not included in this file count.
Application size

Total number of Line of Code (LoC) in the designated source code, as identified by Console during the fast scan process or during a Refresh (see below) - files that are not considered source code (i.e. image files for example) are not included in this value. In addition, an indicator shows the "size" of the application - clicking View Size Chart will show how Console defines the various different size categories:

Alert 

The alert icon (available in ≥ 2.10) indicates that the most recent job actioned on the current application contains one or more alerts (the number of alerts is indicated) that need to be looked at. Clicking the icon will display the alerts as a slide in panel on the right:

These alerts are also displayed in the Job Progress panel.

New scan

Enables you to upload a new source code ZIP file or deliver new source code from a folder (see Administration Center - Settings - Source Folder Location). You can do this even if you have not yet run an analysis, i.e. when the previous fast scan has highlighted some deficiencies in the delivered code that you want to correct. 

  • if you have already uploaded a source code ZIP, the button will display the following dialog box enabling you to choose a new ZIP file. A new fast scan will then be automatically actioned on the new source code:

  • if you have already delivered source code from a source folder location, the button will display the following dialog box showing the location of the previous source folder. Ensure the source folder contains the new updated source code before clicking the Fast Scan button:

Technical information

Technically, the following things occur when a New Scan is triggered:

  • any excluded files are deleted
  • the current version is deleted and a new one is created with the same name, same title, same release date
  • the new source code is scanned and data in the Overview panel is refreshed using the scan results
  • no associated snapshots are deleted
