AppScan Enterprise Server installation steps

Procedure

  1. Install the AppScan® Enterprise Server according to the installation instructions provided with it. See AppScan Enterprise Server overview to learn more about the server.
  2. Upgrade the AppScan Enterprise Server according to the installation instructions provided with it. See AppScan Enterprise Server overview to learn more about the server.
  3. Ensure that the AppScan Enterprise Server has been installed and that connection information for it has been provided by your administrator. See AppScan Enterprise Server overview to learn more about the server.
  4. In the HCL® AppScan Enterprise Server Configuration panel, specify the settings that will allow a solidDB® database to connect to the AppScan Enterprise Server. By default, this installation panel pre-fills with entries that assume the database and server are installed on the same machine, with default settings. To configure the AppScan Source Database with the AppScan Enterprise Server, select the Configure the AppScan Enterprise Server now check box and complete these settings:
    • AppScan Enterprise Server: Specify the URL for your AppScan Enterprise Server instance.
    • User ID: Specify your AppScan Enterprise Server administrator user ID. If the server is configured for Windows™ authentication, enter the Windows user ID that was used when your account was added to the server (the user ID must be in the format <host name>\<user id>).
    • Password: Specify the password for your AppScan Enterprise Server user ID.
    • Database Host Name: Specify the host name for the machine on which you have installed the AppScan Source Database.
      Note: The entry in this field should always be the fully-qualified host name of the machine on which the installer is running. This value should be pre-filled in this field at install time and should only be changed if the value has pre-filled incorrectly.

    Click Next to advance to the next installation panel.

    Note: If you will be using an Oracle database, ensure that Configure the AppScan Enterprise Server now is not selected and then click Next. This installation panel is not used for registering an Oracle database with the Enterprise Server. Instead, configure the database connection post-installation using a utility that is included with AppScan Source. Information about this can be found at Registering the AppScan Source Database with AppScan Enterprise Server . This utility can also be used to configure a solidDB connection instead of using this installation panel.
