Task: Show Warnings That First Emerged After a Specified

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

Task: Show Warnings That First Emerged After a Specified Analysis

Sometimes it is useful to see all the warnings that have emerged since a particular point in the project's history.

You can specify a search for these warnings using the warning search language.
If you expect to refer to this search often, you can save it as a Visible Warning.

Start the hub, if it is not already running.

Determine the analysis ID of the analysis you want to compare against.

List the analyses for the project you are interested in.
Click the Analysis table heading to show a table menu, then select Show > Analysis ID to add the Analysis ID column to the table.
Note the ID of the analysis you are interested in. Call this comp_id.

Construct the search string:

aid>comp_id new_warning=true

Paste the search string into the search field, select warnings in all projects from the search domain/scope menu, and click Search.

A search results page will open.

Select all from the Visible Warnings menu.

The search results page now displays all the new warnings since the analysis with comp_id.

If you want to be able to access this search from the Visible Warnings menu in future, save it as a named search.

You may also wish to do one or more of the following.

Restrict the results to a specific project: add the clause project:projname to your search string, where projname is the name of the project.

The search string will now be:

project:projname aid>comp_id new_warning=true

Search with respect to a date/time instead of an analysis: you can construct a warning search language query using the firstdetected field. For example:

firstdetected:2009
firstdetected:02/2009
firstdetected:"last 2 weeks"

For information about available date formats, see Date Format Strings.
