Fortify Project Results (FPR) File Compatibility
Fortify Software products support opening and uploading FPR files in adjacent releases. Fortify
Software products can open and accept for upload:
l
FPR files that have the same version (<year>.<quarter> portion of the version)
l
Older FPR files (within the Product Support Lifecycle policy)
For example, Fortify Audit Workbench version 24.4.0 can open version 23.2.0 FPR files.
l
FPR files that are one version later
For example, you can upload version 24.4.0 FPR files to Fortify Software Security Center version
24.2.0. Fortify Audit Workbench version 24.2.0 can open version 24.4.0 FPR files.
Fortify Software products do not support opening and uploading FPR files generated by later
versions of Fortify Software products when the versions are more than one version apart. For
example, uploading a version 24.4.0 FPR to Fortify Software Security Center version 23.2.0 and
opening a version 23.2.0 FPR file in Fortify Audit Workbench is not supported.
OpenText recommends that you keep your Fortify Software product versions synchronized so that
you are working with FPR file versions that have the same version as your products.
The FPR file version is determined as follows:
l
The FPR version is the same version of the analyzer that generated it. For example, an FPR
generated by Fortify Static Code Analyzer version 24.4.0 also has version 24.4.0.
l
The FPR version is the same version of Fortify Software Security Center or Fortify Applications and
Tools that changed or audited 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 23.2.0 FPR with a version 24.4.0 FPR, the resulting FPR has the
version 24.4.0.
Caution Regarding Uploading FPR Files to Fortify Software Security Center
Fortify Software Security Center keeps an FPR file that contains the latest scan results and audit
information for each application. Fortify Audit Workbench and the Secure Code Plugins also use this
FPR file for collaborative auditing.
Each time you upload an FPR to Fortify Software Security Center, it is merged with the existing FPR. If
the FPR has a later version number than the existing FPR, the existing FPR version changes to match
the newest FPR.
