Installing the database and configuring connections to AppScan Enterprise Server

AppScan® Source requires an solidDB® database server that you have installed with the AppScan Source installation wizard - or an existing Oracle database server that has AppScan Source schema and data applied by the AppScan Source installation wizard. The database persists AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase data, assessment data, and application/project inventory - and your options for database server installation and configuration are outlined in this topic.

Important: When scanning, AppScan Enterprise Server and AppScan Source clients (except AppScan Source for Development) both require a direct connection to the AppScan Source Database (either solidDB or Oracle).

Note: AppScan Source server components, such as the AppScan Source Database, are not supported on macOS.

Install and configure solidDB

During the installation process, you install the database and specify solidDB login settings so that AppScan Enterprise Server can connect to the database. To learn how to install for this scenario, see Install and configure solidDB.

Install to an existing Oracle database

Apply the AppScan Source Database schema and data to an existing Oracle database. During the installation process, you specify Oracle database login settings so that AppScan Enterprise Server can connect to the database. To learn how to install for this scenario, see Install to an existing Oracle database.
