Important Plugin Upgrade in Code Insight 2020 R3
An important Code Insight plugin change occurred when Code Insight scan-agent plugins were upgraded from version 1.x to 2.0 in the Code Insight 2020 R3 release.
A v1.x plugins requires an inventory-only project on the Code Insight Core Server to which to send only the inventory results from the remote scans. However, a v2.0 (or later) plugin, whose scans capture both inventory and codebase-file information, sends scan results to a new project type that is capable of managing the data from both server scans (performed by the Scan Server) and remote scans. For information about this new project type, see “Legacy Projects” in the Code Insight User Guide.
Note that the configuration of all v2.0 and later plugins requires a new “alias” property to identify the scan agent to Code Insight. A new “host” property is also required for certain plugins. See Note About Rescans Performed by v2.0 and Later Plugins for details.
Code Insight continues to support existing inventory-only projects, enabling users to scan these projects using version 1.x plugins installed from previous Code Insight releases. However, inventory-only projects will be deprecated in a future release. If you want to manually migrate your inventory-only projects to the new project type, refer to the following Knowledge Base article in the Revenera Community:
