SHA-1 Support When Installing or Migrating to the Latest Code Insight Version

The following sections describe how SHA-1 support is handled when a new instance of the latest Code Insight version is installed or when a previous Code Insight version is migrated to the latest version.

Installing a New Instance of the Latest Insight Version

When you install a new instance of the latest Code Insight version, SHA-1 support will be enabled by default. The SHA-1 digests will be calculated during the initial scan (standard or remote) of files in the projects that you create in the new instance; and these digests will be updated to the Code Insight database. However, if SHA-1 support is disabled at some point before the initial scan, the SHA-1 values for files will be set to NULL.

Migrating to the Latest Version

By default the SHA1 property will be enabled in the upgraded version. SHA1 values for the files will be NULL if the property was disabled in the earlier version (or was unavailable, as in a pre-2021 R3 version). If the property was enabled in the earlier version, the existing SHA-1 values are retained during the migration.
