Installing the database and configuring connections to AppScan® Enterprise Server
AppScan® Source requires an solidDB® database server that you have installed with the AppScan Source installation wizard - or an existing Oracle database server that has AppScan Source schema and data applied by the AppScan Source installation wizard. The database persists AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase data, assessment data, and application/project inventory - and your options for database server installation and configuration are outlined in this topic.
Backing up the AppScan® Source Database
It is recommended that you protect yourself from loss of data in the AppScan® Source Database by following routine backup procedures. You should back up the AppScan Source Database before upgrading to a new version or removing a previous version of AppScan Source.
