Sonatype CLM for CLI

Chapter 4. Evaluating an Application

4.1. Additional Options

Now that you have Sonatype CLM for CLI set up, you are ready to evaluate an application. As a Java application, it can be started using the java command, and adding the necessary parameters. The syntax below represents the minimum set of options required to evaluate an application:

java -jar [scanner jar] -i [application id] -s [server URL] [target]

scanner jar: This is the path to Sonatype CLM for CLI (scanner) jar file e.g. ./sonatype-clm-scanner.jar.
--authentication: Using the switch -a, enter the user name:password (e.g. MyUserName:MyUserPassword).


	Authentication will permit (or prevent) the ability to submit an application for evaluation, as well as retrieve the summary results and URL. At this time, it is not required.

--application-id: Using the switch -i, enter the application id for your application (see instructions above).
--server-url: Using the switch -s enter the location of your CLM server (e.g. http://localhost:8070).
Target: This is the path to a specific application archive file or a directory containing such archives. A number of formats are supported, including jar, war, ear, tar, tar.gz, zip and many others.


	Listed in the options below, you can specify the specific CLM stage. However, if you do not include this option the system will default to the Build stage.
