An import QuickScan uploads AppScan® files using parameters set in a scan
template created by a Product Administrator. After the file is uploaded,
its data is stored in a database for analysis by the reporting engine
and made available to you through report packs, which are collections
of reports.
Procedure
- In the Scans view, select an import template from the template
list and click the Create QuickScan icon.
- (optional) Edit the scan name. (The name defaults to a
unique version of the template name, but you can change it to something
more meaningful.)
- Click Browse to specify the file
location. The file can be an XML file or a zipped XML file.
- After you finish configuring your scan, save the scan options
and start the scan. The Progress tab will open and display the scan
statistics while the scan is running. You can also choose to:
- Save current results and stop: Saves the current results
and stops the job. The run will finish normally and save the data
collected so far in the database, but the reports will be incomplete.
- Discard results and stop: Discards any data collected
during the run and stops the job.
Note: You can run or stop a scan from any of the three QuickScan
tabs.
What to do next
When scan results are ready, you can view the reports on
the Results tab. Reports display information about your website or
application and provide the functionality to navigate to more details.
Most of your data analysis tasks will focus on the data provided in
these reports.
