Licensing and Configuration

You can license and configure the Multi-Language Pack by configuring the settings in the settings.properties file located in the installation directory.

Setting the License

You can set either a network or local license.

Network License

The network license is retrieved from Parasoft DTP.  See Connecting to DTP information on how to connect to Parasoft DTP.

Local License

The local license password is provided by your Parasoft representative. To use a local license, edit the settings.properties file located in the installation directory and specify the following properties:

mlp.license.use_network=false
mlp.license.local.password=<license-password>

Accepting the End User License Agreement

Set the following property to accept the Parasoft End User License Agreement (please read the EULA at https://www.parasoft.com/license):

parasoft.eula.accepted=true

Connecting to DTP

Configure your DTP settings to acquire a license and to send code analysis execution results to DTP. Specify the following settings in the settings.properties file located in the installation directory:

dtp.url

Specifies the URL to your DTP server. Remember to include the https:// protocol; DTP requires https:// connections from other Parasoft tools.

dtp.user

Specifies the username for DTP authentication.

dtp.password

Specifies the user password for DTP authentication. You can encode your DTP password by running the multilanguage-pack.sh or .bat with the encodepass parameter. For example:

./multilanguage-pack.sh -encodepass mypassword

dtp.project

Specifies the name of the existing DTP project that you want to link to. This setting is optional for running the Multi-Language Pack, but required if you want to view results in DTP.

Example:

dtp.server=myhost
dtp.port=8443
dtp.user=admin
dtp.password=admin
dtp.project=my_project

See Additional Configuration for more configuration options.

Connecting to Source Control (Optional)

Connecting to source control allows you to leverage the Multi-Language Pack to determine the authors of reported violations. With source control settings properly configured, the Multi-Language Pack can query for authors of the code lines where defects were detected by the static code analyzers.

To connect to source control, specify your source control system-specific settings in the settings.properties file located in the Multi-Language Pack installation directory. See Additional Settings for the list of source control settings. 

The following example shows the settings required to connect to Git:

scontrol.rep.type=git
scontrol.rep.git.url=https://mygit.mycompanycom/myrepo/myrepo.git
scontrol.rep.git.branch=master
scontrol.rep.git.workspace=c:\\development\\workspace\\JavaScript\\myrepo
