Registering the AppScan Source Database with AppScan Enterprise Server
During AppScan® Source installation, if valid settings have been entered, the AppScan Source Database should automatically be registered with the server. However, in the event that database registration does not complete or succeed, follow the instructions in this topic for completing the registration.
AppScan Source includes a utility that allows you to register the database with the server. The tool is <install_dir>\bin\appscanserverdbmgr.bat (where <install_dir> is the location of your AppScan Source installation) - or <install_dir>/bin/appscanserverdbmgr.sh on Linux™. If you are having database/server connection problems, this tool can be run at a command prompt (after the server and client components have been installed) with these parameters:

-forceTLSv12 |
Specify true with this setting only if
your AppScan Enterprise
Server is enabled for NIST 800-131a compliance (failing to do this will cause server connections to
fail). If your AppScan Enterprise
Server is not enabled for NIST 800-131a compliance, specify false with this
setting. |
Force TLSv1.2 |
-dbClient |
Specify 1 if your AppScan Source
Database is solidDB®. Specify 2 if it is Oracle. |
IBM SolidDB or Oracle |
-dbConnString |
Database connection string (for example,
"Driver={IBM solidDB 7.0 32-bit - (ANSI)}" ).If you are running an Oracle database, you can specify a TNS alias, if you have configured the server according to Oracle TNS Alias configuration. |
Connection String |
-dbConnInfo |
Database connection information (for example,
"tcp myhostname.mydomain.com 2315" ).Note: If localhost is
specified rather than a fully-qualified host name, only the user of the local machine will be able
to connect to the database. |
Connection Info |
-dbUserid |
User ID for your database user account. | Database User ID |
-dbPassword |
Password for your database user account user ID. | Password |
If you are using the graphical user interface, click Validate Connection after completing all entries in the AppScan Enterprise Server section. Once the entries have been validated, complete the entries in the AppScan Source Database section and click Validate Connection. When the database entries are validated, click Apply changes to register the database with the server.
