Upgrading a client

OpenText recommends that your standalone Fortify ScanCentral SAST clients and your OpenText SAST installation be the same version.

To upgrade a standalone client (independent of OpenText SAST), do one of the following:

  • Delete the existing client, and then extract the Fortify_ScanCentral_Client_<version>_x64.zip file to any directory on the machine.

  • Extract the contents of the Fortify_ScanCentral_Client_<version>_x64.zip file on top of the existing client.

To upgrade an embedded client, which resides on the same machine as OpenText SAST:

  1. Log on to the build machine using credentials for an account that is not an administrator account or root.

  2. Back up the following directories:

    • <sast_install_dir>/bin/
    • <sast_install_dir>/Core/lib/
    • <sast_install_dir>/Core/config/

  3. Upgrade OpenText SAST.

    For instructions on how to install and upgrade OpenText SAST, see the OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing User Guide.

  4. Accept all overwrite requests.

    On a Linux system, you might also need to run chmod +x ScanCentral in the <sast_install_dir>/bin/ScanCentral/ directory.

After you configure a client, you can copy the configuration files and use them to create other clients.
