AppScan® Source for Automation
The Automation Server (ounceautod) allows you to automate key aspects of the AppScan® Source workflow and integrate security with build environments during the software development life cycle (SDLC). The Automation Server allows you to queue requests to scan and publish assessments, and generate reports on the security of application code.
Using Ounceauto from the command line
The interface to AppScan® Source for Automation, ounceauto, issues commands to the server specified by command line arguments, prints the output, if any, and returns. Each request is assigned a Request ID, and all log entries regarding the request contain the Request ID for identification purposes.
