Run your first scan with the Scan Engine

An initial full Scan Engine completion is required to set a baseline from a series of tasks performed that tune the instance environment to complete future scans quickly and efficiently.

Before you begin

Activate Scan Engine and review settings before beginning this task.

You can complete the configuration steps directly in the Guided Setup interface or can configure the properties using the indicated navigation path.

Important:

Depending on the size of your instance, your first scan could take a few hours to complete. We recommend running your first scan overnight, especially in production instances.

Role required: impact admin role or admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Impact > Platform Health > Scheduled Scan.
2. Select Execute Now.
   The scan progress is tracked within Platform Health.
3. Navigate to All > Impact > Platform Health > Scan Engine > Scan Status.
   See Analytics Dashboards:

   • View the different charts and reports available at ImpactPlatform HealthAnalytics Dashboard.
   • Access refreshed Health Scan engine dashboards each time a scan is completed.
   The Scan Engine results display with the status of each table that is being scanned.
4. Mark as Complete to progress to the next step in Guided Setup.

What to do next

Configure the Impact Store Application and import data from the Impact Delivery Instance. See Run the Service Exchange pre-configuration scan for next steps.

After the Impact Store Application is configured, you can integrate with your other environments running Impact and utilize Scan Engine diagnostics. A one-time configuration, available in both Basic Auth and OAuth 2.0, is required to connect your instances. See Scan Engine integrations for details.
