  Integrate AppScan Enterprise with your Microsoft Azure OpenAI service to enable Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and improve the accuracy of scan results.
- Configuring and downloading log files for Enterprise Console and AppScan Server
  Administrators can configure the settings for log files for the Enterprise Console and AppScan Server and download them when they need to troubleshoot issues. This function eliminates the need to search the file system of the computer where the Enterprise Console or AppScan Server is installed.
- Resetting Service Account Password in AppScan Enterprise through the ASE AdminUtil tool
  The AdminUtil tool helps users to avoid rerun the configuration wizard on the AppScan Enterprise Server and the DAST Scanner(s) to reset the password. You can run the utility in two modes - Interactive mode and Silent mode. For more information about resetting service account password through interactive mode, see Resetting Service Account Password in AppScan Enterprise through the ASE AdminUtil tool in silent mode
- Resetting Service Account Password in AppScan Enterprise through the ASE AdminUtil tool in silent mode
  The AppScan Enterprise (ASE) AdminUtil tool helps users to avoid rerun the configuration wizard on the AppScan Enterprise Server, IAST Communication service, DAST scanner(s), Database service, and Alert services to reset the password of service account. You can achieve this by running the utility in two modes - Interactive mode and Silent mode. For more information about resetting service account password through interactive mode, see Resetting Service Account Password in AppScan Enterprise through the ASE AdminUtil tool
- Monitoring AppScan Enterprise usage
  Create an Activity Log report to determine who is using AppScan Enterprise and what they are doing with it. The report lists the users that made changes and when the changes were made. Because the log is always recording activity, all you must do is create the report. Only Administrators can create the Activity Log report; however, any user can be given access to it as part of a report pack's properties. If you do not want other users to see the Activity Log report, change `All Other Users' to No Access on the Users and Groups page for the report pack.
- Activity Log
  Activity Log helps determine who is using AppScan Enterprise and what they are doing with it. It lists the users that made changes and when the changes were made. This is useful for security auditing to detect possible unauthorized or unusual activities performed by users. Only Administrators can view the Activity log. By default, the activity log data is retained for one year.
- Managing a server
  Product Administrators are responsible for managing each server to its optimal performance.
- Managing the scan queue
  See the status of scan jobs currently running or waiting to run so that you can prioritize the order in which your key scan jobs run. For example, you might have scan jobs that are part of a time-sensitive deliverable, like a holiday shopping special. You can move them to the top of the queue to make sure that they are prioritized first in the schedule.
- Updating security rules
  The security rules are updated as a part of your AppScan® Enterprise releases. You can verify the version and release date of the security rules by looking in the About link in the AppScan Enterprise main menu.
- Importing user-defined tests from AppScan Standard
  AppScan® Standard provides a database of thousands of tests. However, if your web application has issues that are specific to it, or if you want to write your own advisories for fixing issues, you can create your own tests. These tests are saved and included in your AppScan database of tests. You can also export them as a *.udt file to import into AppScan Enterprise.
- Maintaining your SQL Server database
  SQL Server database maintenance includes upgrading SQL servers, SQL database backup, log file configuration, and database usage.
  - SQL Server database maintenance strategies
    You can maintain data integrity and improve performance by considering the following items when you configure the database and log files.
  - SQL server database usage
    The database contains all administration, configuration, and reporting data. This database contains all the table definitions, indexes, constraints, and database stored procedures used by the application.
