Automatically saving assessments

By default, scans are saved automatically to <data_dir>\scans (where <data_dir> is the location of your AppScan® Source program data, as described in Installation and user data file locations) for a period of three days. This behavior is determined by the assessment_auto_save, assessment_auto_save_location, and assessment_auto_save_stale_period settings in <data_dir>\config\scanner.ozsettings.

  • When the assessment_auto_save setting is set to true, assessments are automatically saved when they complete (you must have Save Assessments permission).
  • The assessment_auto_save_location setting determines the location in which the assessments are stored. By default, assessments are saved to <data_dir>\scans. To change this location, set the value attribute to a directory of your choice. For example, to set the location to C:\myFolder, set the attribute to value="C:\myFolder".
  • The assessment_auto_save_stale_period setting determines the number of days that assessments will be kept in the assessment_auto_save_location. You can alter this setting with the value attribute. For example, saved assessments will be removed from assessment_auto_save_location after 10 days if the attribute is set to value="10".
