System Requirements
Fortify Project Results (FPR) File Compatibility
Earlier versions of Micro Focus Fortify Software products cannot open and read FPR files generated
by later versions of Fortify Software products. For example, Micro Focus Fortify Audit Workbench
22.1.0 cannot read 23.1.0 FPR files. However, later versions of Fortify Software products can open
and read FPR files generated by earlier versions of Fortify Software products. For example, Fortify
Audit Workbench version 23.1.0 can open and read version 22.2.0 FPR files.
The FPR file version is determined as follows:
l
The FPR version is the same as the version of the analyzer that initially generated it. For example,
an FPR generated by Fortify Software version 23.1.0 also has the version 23.1.0.
l
The FPR version is the same as the version of the Fortify Software Security Center server or Fortify
Applications and Tools used to change or audit the FPR.
l
If you merge two FPRs, the resulting FPR has the version of the more recently generated FPR. For
example, if you merge a version 22.2.0 FPR with a version 23.1.0 FPR, the resulting FPR has the
version 23.1.0.
You can only open 23.1.0 FPR files with Fortify Software Security Center or Fortify Static Code
Analyzer applications and tools versions 23.1.0 or later.
Caution Regarding Uploading FPR Files to Fortify Software Security Center
Fortify Software Security Center keeps a project file that contains the latest scan results and audit
information for each application. Fortify Audit Workbench and the Secure Code Plugins also use this
project file for collaborative auditing.
Each time you upload an FPR to Fortify Software Security Center, it is merged with the existing
project file. If the FPR has a later version number than the existing project file, the existing project file
version changes to match the FPR. For Fortify Audit Workbench and the Secure Code Plugins to work
with the updated FPR, they must be at least the same version as the FPR. For example, Fortify Audit
Workbench 22.2.0 cannot open and read a 23.1.0 FPR.
Virtual Machine Support
You can run Micro Focus Fortify Software products on an approved operating system in virtual
machine environments. You must provide dedicated CPU and memory resources that meet the
minimum hardware requirements. If you find issues that cannot be reproduced on the native
environments with the recommended processing, memory, and disk resources, you must work with
the provider of the virtual environment to resolve them.
Note: If you run Fortify Software products in a VM environment, Fortify strongly recommends
that you have CPU and memory resources fully committed to the VM to avoid performance
degradation.
