Seeding the database with report seed bundles in quarterly OpenText SAST Application Security Content releases
OpenText notifies you when new security content is available for download. To determine whether this updated content includes a new seed bundle, check under the heading OpenText™ Security Fortify Premium Content in your notification document. That section has information about the existence of a new seed bundle. If a new seed bundle is included, you can use it to re-seed your database. For more information about seed bundles and seeding the database, see About Seeding the Application Security Database.
Updated external metadata files can include changes to mappings that reporting depends on. If updated security content includes a new report seed bundle, ensure that you update your rules and mappings before you run reports.
Seeding the database blocks the creation of new application versions and the execution of report and analysis results processing jobs.

Download the updated security content, as follows:
- Log in to the Application Security Customer Portal.
- In the navigation pane, select PREMIUM CONTENT.
Click the FORTIFY EXCHANGE link.
