About Upgrading Fortify Static Code Analyzer
To upgrade Fortify Static Code Analyzer, install the new version in a different location than where your current version is installed and choose to migrate settings from the previous installation. This migration preserves and updates the Fortify Static Code Analyzer artifact files located in the <sca_install_dir>/Core/config directory.
If you choose not to migrate any settings from a previous release, Fortify recommends that you save a backup of the following data if it has been modified:
<sca_install_dir>/Core/config/rulesfolder<sca_install_dir>/Core/config/customrulesfolder<sca_install_dir>/Core/config/ExternalMetadatafolder<sca_install_dir>/Core/config/CustomExternalMetadatafolder<sca_install_dir>/Core/config/server.propertiesfile<sca_install_dir>/Core/config/scalesfolder
After you install the new version, you can uninstall the previous version. For more information, see About Uninstalling Fortify Static Code Analyzer.
Note: You can leave the previous version installed. If you have multiple versions installed on the same system, the most recently installed version is invoked when you run the command from the command line.
