Command Line Parameter

Function

[space][number]

This number is the timeout, in minutes, for the scheduled scan.

[space][hyphen]retest

Configures the scheduled scan to start from the Test stage, omitting the Explore stage.

This might be useful for re-testing a site at intervals, using a source scan that has already explored the site.

[space][hyphen]continue

Configures the scheduled scan to continue from where it left off rather than starting again.

This might be useful for re-testing a site at intervals, using a source scan that has already explored the site.

Note that when using this option to scan in installments you must also use the saveName switch, so that the scheduled scan overwrites the original one each time it runs. (See Schedule a scan in installments.)

[space][hyphen]saveName[filename]

Defines the name that the scheduled scan will be saved with. When no saveName is defined, AppScan® saves the scheduled scan with the source filename followed by a timestamp.
