FlexNet Code Insight Scanned file counts for archives are not accurate

Title

Summary

This article discusses the reasons that the total number of files within archives are not shown within FlexNet Code Insight

Synopsis

When using FlexNet Code Insight 6.11.0 to scan archives, the file counts in the detector client do not show the totals for all files contained within the scanned archives

Discussion

When files inside archives are added to/removed from groups, tagged/untagged or marked as reviewed/ unreviewed, group and tag file counts are not affected (do not increase or decrease)?this applies to all scan settings including the ?scan files inside archives=on? setting. For example, if a workspace contains 20 files total, one of which is an archive foo.zip with 1000 inner files, marking 1000 inner files as reviewed will not increase the ?Reviewed? tag count. This behavior is in place after considering extensive feedback from customers who reported that including archive files in the count skews the perception of the amount of total work done. In the example above, seeing the number of files Reviewed jump to over 1000 would confuse most auditors. For this reason, we have chosen not to include inner files of archives in the file counts. We recommend always marking the outer archive as reviewed when dealing with archives.
