Optimizing scan performance
If you plan to regularly scan large applications, OpenText recommends that you run a manual test scan on hardware that is equivalent to the hardware on which your sensor is installed.
To optimize your scan:
Set the OpenText SAST scan parameters for optimal performance by adjusting the memory settings to align with your hardware.
For information about how to tune OpenText SAST, see the OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing User Guide.
- Run a scan.
- Note the size of the resulting FPR file and scan log.
To ensure that the Controller and Application Security can accept FPR or log files larger than 1 GB, increase the maximum upload size threshold by doing the following:
Open the
<controller_install_dir>/tomcat/webapps/scancentral-ctrl/classes/config.propertiesfile.Set the Controller threshold to the maximum size in megabytes as follows:
max_upload_size=<max_size_in_megabytes>
The default value is 1024.
Make sure that OpenText SAST is configured to process large FPR files.
