IBM ZCodeScan custom rules

IBM® ZCodeScan custom rules feature provides you with an extension to scan the source code and to report issues with precise location information. This feature is designed to build custom code analysis rules and to integrate them into the code quality tools.

Overview

IBM ZCodeScan now provides the following two options to create the custom rules.

Codeless custom rules: You can use the regular expressions that you use to describe in the rule model itself to create custom rules. For more information, see IBM ZCodeScan codeless custom rules.

Java custom rules: You can implement custom rules in Java, packaged in a Java jar file. For more information, see IBM ZCodeScan Java custom rules.

Note:

In this release, the custom rules are only available in the IBM ZCodeScan command line. You can specify your custom rule model with the --customDomainsFilesList option. You can specify your custom rule model with the related CLI options. For more information, see Syntax of CLI Command.
