- Libraries:
- On Linux, HCL®
AppScan® Source
requires the installation of specific libraries before
installing AppScan®
Source. In
addition, the Server with GUI environment
is required when using an RHEL Server installation.To install the libraries, use this command:
The installer will flag any additional libraries needed to run AppScan® Source.yum install -y glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686 libnsl-2.28-42.el8_0.1.i686
- On Linux, HCL®
AppScan® Source
requires the installation of specific libraries before

Approximately 15 GB of available drive space. Additional space may be required when scanning large applications. This includes additional space that may be required to accommodate files that are written to your AppScan Source data directory. 1 To clear space in your AppScan Source data directory:
If needed, you can also change your AppScan Source data directory by following the instructions in the Changing the AppScan Source data directory. Large applications that require long scan times can overflow your drive. If you receive an error message regarding storage or drive space, you may need to scan parts of your application separately or alter your scan configuration. Sample error message: Skipping project <project_name> due to error: Thread creation failure ( <OS_error_message - for example: Not enough storage is available to process this command.> ).
Note: When the scan completes, original drive space will
be returned. Before scanning this project again,
allocate more space or change the configuration of your
scan. |
