Custom VDB rules are created by users and shared with rest of the AppScan Source users. VDB rules should be considered for migration. Unfortunately, VDB rules cannot be exported and imported simply. Contact your HCL Support representative for assistance in migrating VDB rules; this document does not cover migrating custom VDB rules.

PBSA rules

  • All system-defined PBSA rules are made available part of AppScan Source installation. They do not need to be migrated.

Users with special permissions can modify the system-defined PBSA rules, thus creating custom rules, as well as define unique PBSA rules. Custom and user-created PBSA rules should be considered for migration. Unfortunately, PBSA rules cannot be exported and imported simply.

Contact your HCL Support representative for assistance in migrating PBSA rules; this document does not cover migrating custom PBSA rules.

User information User management is handled by AppScan Enterprise. The AppScan Source database contains user authorization information, but there is no easy way of migrating this information to AppScan Enterprise. Manually update user authorization information in AppScan Enterprise.
