Other Upgrade Tasks
Once you have completed the Code Insight upgrade steps, you might need to perform these tasks to complete the upgrade for your Code Insight system.
| Server | Summary | Description | Required / Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scan Server | Configure the Git SCM connector | When migrating from a pre-2021 R4 version of Code Insight, ensure the Git SCM connector provided with the new Code Insight is configured to properly store user credentials. Follow the instructions in Configuration to Ensure Proper Storage of User Credentials. | Required (for Git SCM repository syncs only) |
| Core | Migrate of inventory-only projects to the new single-project type | In 2020 R3, all Scan Server and remote scans began using the same project type, enabling the results of both types of scans to co-exist in a single project when needed. No new inventory-only projects are supported. Existing standard projects from 2020 R2 or earlier are automatically migrated to support the results from both server and remote scans. Existing inventory-only projects will be migrated as they are; they will continue to be supported for use with 2020 R2 or earlier projects and plugins (but will be deprecated in the future). For information about project migration in general and how to manually migrate an inventory-only project to the new project type, see the following KB article in the Revenera Community for instructions: https://community\.flexera\.com/t5/FlexNet\-Code\-Insight\-Customer/Code\-Insight\-2020\-R3\-Changes\-to\-Projects/ta\-p/160059 | Optional |
| Remote | Update scan-agent plugins | If you are using one or more Code Insight scan agent plugins to perform remote scans, you might need to upgrade the plugins to be compatible with Code Insight 2025 R3. (The new, single project type introduced in 2020 R3 requires upgraded plugins.) To perform the upgrade, follow these steps: Obtain the latest plugins .zip file from the Product and License Center accessed from the Customer Community portal. Install and configure the plugin on the remote server according to the instructions in the <span class="Emphasis">Code Insight Plugins Guide</span>. Delete the scan agent index from the remote server (typically located in <span class="Directory_Path"><user_home>/.codeaware</span> on the remote server) so that the index will be rebuilt using the new plugin. Ensure that the environment variable <span class="Property">CODEINSIGHT_ROOT</span> is set on the remote server. Verify that the 7-zip tool is installed on the remote server. If it is missing, copy it from <span class="Strong">vNew</span><span class="Directory_Path">/7-zip</span>. Rescan the codebase. | Optional |
| Remote | Rescan remote codebases to see license evidence in Code Insight | In the 2021 R1 release, the Code Insight began reporting license evidence found in files scanned by a scan agent on a remote system. (Previously, no evidence of any type was reported for these files.) If you have migrated from a pre-2021 R1 release and want to see the license evidence for these files in the Code Insight Web user interface, you must rescan the remote codebase. | Optional |
