- System requirements for static analysis
  Supported operating systems and the types of files, locations, and projects that can be scanned by AppScan 360° when you perform static analysis.
- Scanning for security vulnerabilities
  To scan source code for security vulnerabilities, follow the steps in these topics.
  - Configure a scan in AppScan 360°
  - Configuring a scan using AppScan Go!
    Use AppScan Go! to configure a static scan. You can then run the scan in the cloud or use a plugin to automate scanning.
  - Using the Static Analyzer Command Line Utility
    The Static Analyzer Command Line Utility (SAClientUtil) is used to generate an IRX that can be scanned in a AppScan on Cloud or AppScan 360°. The appscan.sh prepare command is supported for use with AppScan 360° Static Analysis.
    - Setting up the Static Analyzer Command Line Utility
      For static analysis, download a small Command Line Utility. When you extract the utility to your local disk, you can use its command line interface (CLI) to perform security analysis.
    - Configuring IRX file generation with the CLI
      Use a configuration file for IRX file generation, wherein you can specify individual targets, or include or exclude targets. In addition, you can use the configuration file to specify additional information that would help to generate a complete IRX file.
    - Generating an IRX file using the command-line interface (CLI)
      To initiate an analysis of your files, you must generate an IRX file to submit for scanning. To use the CLI to generate the IRX file, follow these instructions.
    - CLI command reference (Windows)
      Windows-specific commands for performing static analysis using a small client command line interface (CLI) that you download and extract to your local disk.
      - Command help
        Use the command help for retrieving a list of available commands or for retrieving information about an individual command.
      - Global commands
        Use global commands to display CLI help and Static Analyzer Command Line Utility version information.
      - Authentication commands
        Use authentication commands to log in to the AppScan 360° service.
      - Configuration commands
        Use configuration commands to prepare your files for scanning.
      - Analysis commands
        Analysis commands are used for submitting scan requests for analysis - or for working with scan requests that are already submitted. Using the commands, you can also receive information about scans. This information can be useful for automation scripts.
      - Results commands
        Use results commands to retrieve scan results from the analysis service.
      - Report commands
        Use report commands to generate scan reports.
    - CLI command reference (Linux and macOS)
      Linux-specific commands for performing static analysis using a small client command line interface (CLI) that you download and extract to your local disk.
  - Language-specific features
  - Static analysis scan results
    Features available in static analysis scan results.
- Sample applications and scripts
- Static analysis troubleshooting
  If you experience problems with static analysis, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

Results commands (Windows™)

Use results commands to retrieve scan results from the analysis service.

`appscan get_result`

Syntax:

appscan get_result -d <file_path> -i <job_id> -t <type>

Description:

Retrieve scan results.

Before you use these commands, ensure that you log in to the analysis service.

Required options:

-i: Specify -i <job_id>, where <job_id> is the ID of the analysis job.

Optional flags/settings:

-d: Specify -d <file_path>, where <file_path> is the fully qualified path for the destination file and/or the file name of the destination file. If a file name is not specified, the file name is based on the scan job name. If a path is not specified, the file is saved to the current directory. If this option is not included, the file is saved to the current directory with a file name that is based on the scan job name.
-t: Specify -t <type>, where <type> is either html or zip. The results are saved as an HTML file or as a .zip file that contains the HTML results. If this option is not included, the results are saved as an HTML file.
If the scan results are for an IRX file that was generated by the package command, specifying -t zip saves results that contain a new .ozasmt file that can be loaded into your AppScan Version 9.0 or higher product.

Tip: For all commands, options can be used in any order.
