Exporting a scan file or scan results

You may need a scan file, which is a file of a scan that has been imported to Black Duck, similar to a dry run file. For example, you may need to provide Customer Support with the scan file if you are experiencing scanning issues, as this file may help them investigate the issue.

Note: This feature is not available if you initially scanned using Black Duck version 5.x or earlier. If the option does not appear, delete the code location and re-scan.

To export a file:

  1. Log in to Black Duck.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • For unmapped scans, click .


      Scans page

    • For scans mapped to a project version, from the Settings tab for a project version, select Scans.


      Project Version Scans tab

  3. Click Down arrow and select Download Scan Archive in the row of the scan that you want to obtain a scan file.

    The file is downloaded with a .bdio extension, and is a zip file.

Exporting to CSV

You can export your search results to CSV which converts the individual rows to tabular data. To do so, click the Export CSV button button and select CSV.
