Welcome
Software Composition Analysis
Use Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to scan for security vulnerabilities in open source and third-party packages used by your code. SCA includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
Scanning libraries and third-party code for security vulnerabilities
To scan open source libraries and third-party code for security vulnerabilities, follow the steps in these topics.
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.
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.
Specifying global options with APPSCAN_OPTS
Set the APPSCAN_OPTS environment variable to specify global options before running a scan. Global options can be specified before scanning when using AppScan Go!, Static Analyzer Command Line Utility, IDEs, and plugins.

Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan 360°, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Installation
Learn about AppScan 360° architecture and how to install the product.
Navigation
This section describes the items on the main AppScan 360° menu bar, with links to more detailed information.
Administration
Define users, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
Dynamic analysis
HCL AppScan 360° performs security scans for web-applications for production, staging and development environments.
Interactive monitoring
Using an agent installed on your application, AppScan 360° identifies security vulnerabilities in your application during runtime by monitoring all interactions, both legitimate and malicious. The process is "passive," in the sense that IAST does not send its own tests, and can therefore run indefinitely.
Software Composition Analysis
Use Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to scan for security vulnerabilities in open source and third-party packages used by your code. SCA includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
- About Software Composition Analysis
  Software Composition Analysis (SCA) identifies and examines open-source packages within your codebase to detect potential security vulnerabilities. SCA can analyze both individual source code files and package manager artifacts, such as configuration files, and lockfiles, to determine the open-source packages your project depends on.
- System requirements for SCA
  The types of files that can be scanned by AppScan 360° when you perform open source testing.
- Scanning libraries and third-party code for security vulnerabilities
  To scan open source libraries and third-party code for security vulnerabilities, follow the steps in these topics.
  - Configure an open source scan in AppScan 360°
  - Configuring a scan using AppScan Go!
    AppScan Go! steps you through configuring and running a static scan. Run the scan in the service or use a plugin to automate scanning.
  - 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.
    - Setting up the Static Analyzer Command Line Utility for use with SCA
      For Software Composition 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.
      - Specifying global options with APPSCAN_OPTS
        Set the APPSCAN_OPTS environment variable to specify global options before running a scan. Global options can be specified before scanning when using AppScan Go!, Static Analyzer Command Line Utility, IDEs, and plugins.
    - 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.
    - 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.
  - Generating in IRX file using a plugin or IDE
  - Runtime Software Composition Analysis
    Identify and manage vulnerabilities in open source components and libraries used by an application at runtime.
- SCA scan results
  Features available in SCA scan results.
Static analysis
Use static analysis (SAST) to scan for security vulnerabilities in web and desktop applications. Static analysis includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).

Specifying global options with `APPSCAN_OPTS`

Set the APPSCAN_OPTS environment variable to specify global options before running a scan. Global options can be specified before scanning when using AppScan Go!, Static Analyzer Command Line Utility, IDEs, and plugins.

When using APPSCAN_OPTS, the option name must be preceded by -D. In addition, on Linux systems, you must surround the value with double-quotes:

Windows
```
set APPSCAN_OPTS=<option>[=<value>]
```

Linux

export APPSCAN_OPTS="<option>[=<value>]"

For example, to use the option ENABLE_SECRETS:

Windows
```
set APPSCAN_OPTS=-DENABLE_SECRETS
```
Linux
```
export APPSCAN_OPTS="-DENABLE_SECRETS"
```

Available options for use with APPSCAN_OPTS are:


Option	Description	Values	Default
Options for configuring analysis
`NO_CONFIG_FILES`	Disables the processing of configuration files.
`OPENSOURCE_ONLY`	Gather open source (SCA) information during IRX generation only.
`SOURCECODE_ONLY`	Scan source code files, ignoring other supported file types (`.dll`, `.exe`, `.jar`, `.sln`, and so on) only.
