The Jenkins Scan Scheduler plugin enables you to schedule the scan of a codebase residing on the Code Insight scan server via the Jenkins scheduler. Before you install and configure the Jenkins Scan Scheduler plugin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • Jenkins must be installed and configured properly in your environment.

  • The project of interest must be set up in Code Insight. For information on creating a Code Insight project, see “Creating a Project” in the Code Insight User Guide.
