'Writing buid id in Fortify

I am new to fortify products, I just wonder how to create the build-id in Fortify SCA component.

Currently, I had installed Fortify product in my Ubuntu machine.

thanks ahead

The following is an example of the sequence of commands you use to translate and analyze code:

sourceanalyzer -b <build_id> -clean
sourceanalyzer -b <build_id> ...
sourceanalyzer -b <build_id> -scan -f myresults.fpr

Find more information in the documentation.

I think fgk summed it up nicely, but there are two things I wanted to elaborate on ... cuz I got stuck on it.

  1. build_id is not related to application==project==folder, go ahead and make it anything you want i.e. ASDF
  2. For the translate==build step, If you just want to analyze the current directory you need to add that path aka .

Example,

#Clean step,
sourceanalyzer -b 'ASDF' -clean
#Translate/Build Step, the `.` path is important,
sourceanalyzer -b 'ASDF' .
#Scan step,
sourceanalyzer -b 'ASDF' -scan -f myresults.fpr
