Extending an existing mapping

You can extend existing mappings with the <ExternalListExtension> element. If you do, keep the following in mind:

You can only add new mappings.
You cannot overwrite existing mappings.

To extend the current mapping, use the following format:


<ExternalListExtension>
<ExternalListID>EEE3F9E7-28D6-4456-8761-3DB99436F4EE</ExternalListID>
<ExternalCategoryDefinition>
	<Name>APP100 CAT 1</Name>
	<Description>
	Description for App100 CAT 1.
	</Description>
	OrderingInfo>1</OrderingInfo>
</ExternalCategoryDefinition>
<Mapping>
	<InternalCategory>
	Poor Style: Indentifier Contains Dollar Symbol ($)
	</InternalCategory>
	<ExternalCategory>App100 CAT 1</ExternalCategory>
</Mapping>
</ExternalListExtension>

After you extend your mapping file, you must upload it to Application Security. For instructions, see Importing OpenText SAST Application Security Content.

If you upload an FPR file that contains an extended mapping, and that mapping is not present on the server, Application Security displays a processing warning.
