Objects and context

The AppScan® Source object tree

The object tree shows the basic structure of AppScan Source objects. You can scan any object (applications, projects, or source files) within the tree structure.

Active objects and current context

Many AppScan Source command line interface (CLI) commands act only within the current context; that is, within the current directory or on a specified file. Use the SetCurrentObject (SET, CD) command to move to the object before calling any command that requires a current context.

Additionally, some CLI commands only act on an active object; which may be the currently selected source file, project, or application with an assessment.
