CAST HIGHLIGHT - Analysis - How to Use dichotomy process to find out the section having specific problem when files are showing as partially analyzed – CAST

After running the scan while validating the result found that couple of PLSQL files are partially analyzed.

Workaround or Action Plan

Normally, this would indicate a parsing issue with the file which may contain several procedures. Some of them were properly analyzed, but then others were not due to the parsing issue.

We need to follow dichotomy process on the file to find out the section having specific problem

This is a similar process to what is documented here:

https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TG/CMS+Snapshot+Analysis+-+Information+-+Overview+of+the+Dichotomy+process

In this case we need to split the partially analyzed file in half, analyze each half and see if the problem exists in one of the split halves. If it does, then you should continue the process, and split it again and again until you find the section with the specific problem. Once you have done that, then you can let us know what the specific issue is, for us to address in the analyzer, else you can share the specific files with us so that we can investigate the root cause.
