Hi Claude, Answers to your questions:
1) Yes, cp2foss is the best solution. 2) email notification is NOT sent out for every sub-job scheduled to process an upload. You will only receive one notification of the completed analysis. If you prefer to use a database trigger, that should work, too. 3) Yes, you can definitely query the database for license info. You might want to take a look at the common set of php functions for license queries: http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/trunk/fossology/ui/common/common-license.php?revision=1579&view=markup 4) I've never created a BIRT report but, from what I know of it, this should be possible. 5) There is a agent, accessible via the fossology UI, to delete uploads. You may want to take a look at this code to see how it's done: http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/trunk/fossology/agents/delagent/delagent.c?view=markup License scanning is currently done manually on a project-by-project basis.

Use cp2foss to upload files for scanning. 2. Implement a job monitoring utility program to determine when job has completed. One way we are thinking of doing this is to use a database trigger. The reason we do not want to depend on the e-mail is because multiple e-mails are sent out for each sub-job associated with an uploaded file - Is this correct? 3. When a job has completed, extract the data results into our own database. We hope we could read the fossology database to get the license types of an uploaded file out. 4. Interpret the results from the database and produce a BIRT report. 5. We are still lacking an automated way to delete uploaded files to make spaces for new uploaded files. Any ideas on this? Meanwhile, is there an automated way in which HP using Fossology to scan its build for licenses and if so, how is it done? Any help is greatly appreciated.
