Refer to Webhook Registration for instructions on registering for WebHooks. To launch the WebHook WebService, select the relevant jar file and run the following command:

java -jar cx-flow-<ver>.jar

The relevant configuration is determined by the application.yml file that resides in the same directory as the jar file, or if an explicit configuration is set to override as defined in the command line as follows:

java -jar cx-flow-<ver>.jar --spring.config.location=/path/to/application.yml --web

The CxFlow docker images on Docker Hub checkmarx/cx-flow contain the latest and previous versions of CxFlow.

docker pull checkmarxts/cxflow
docker run --env-file=.checkmarx --name=cxflow --detach -p <host port>:8080 checkmarxts/cxflow`

The env-file provides the necessary overrides during the bootstrap process - urls, credentials, etc - sample below. In addition, you can use --env-file <(env)` on *Unix hosts to move the entire environment from the host into the Docker container.

BITBUCKET_TOKEN=<user>:<token>
BITBUCKET_URL=http://xxxxxx:7990
BITBUCKET_API_PATH=/rest/api/1.0/
BITBUCKET_WEBHOOK_TOKEN=XXXXXXX

Note: In order to highly customize the yaml configuration for CxFlow in a Docker environment, use this docker image as a base and add custom configuration. Alternatively build from source (Docker files are found in the git repository).

CxFlow can be integrated via command line using several ways. The table below lists command line arguments and flags to help drive the different execution flows and overrides.

Option Description
--spring.config.location Override the main application.yml/properties file for the application. Defaults to the application.yml packaged within the jar
--parse Indicates that a result XML file from Checkmarx is provided (–f is also mandatory). No value provided (flag)
--project Indicates that we would like to retrieve the latest scan results for a given team/project and provide feedback (defect / issue tracking). No value provided (flag)
--batch Indicates that the entire instance or a given team is iterated through and the latest results are retrieved for each project and feedback is provided (defect/issue tracking)
--cx-team Used to override the team that is used as a base team (optionally defined globally in the yaml configuration). This team is used when creating a project in Source/Scan (zip) mode as well as the team to use when retrieving latest project results in project/batch modes (--project/--batch)
--namespace Repository group (Gitlab)/organization (Github)/namespace (BitBucket). Used as higher level grouping of repositories. Used along with repo-name and branch for tracking purposes (Jira only). If these three components are not present, an application attribute must be passed (--app). These values are stored in a tracking label within Jira. This value is also stored in the body of the issue.
repo-name Name of the repository. Used along with repo-name and branch for tracking purposes (Jira Only). If these three components are not present, application attribute must be passed (--app). These values are stored in a tracking label within Jira. This value is also stored in the body of the issue.
--branch Branch used along with repo-name and branch for tracking purposes (Jira only). If these three components are not present, then an application attribute must be passed (--app). These values are stored in a Tracking label within Jira. This value is also stored in the body of the issue.
--app Alternatively used for Tracking purposes. This value is also stored in the body of the issue.
--repo-url Required for issues tracking with GitHub Issues or GitLab Issues. This value is also stored in the body of the issue.
--f File to be processed. This the output from Checkmarx CLI, Jenkins/Bamboo Plugin, etc.
--exclude-files Files to be excluded when running --scan CLI execution
--exclude-folders Folders to be excluded when running --scan CLI execution
--config Optional: Configuration override file (JSON)
--bbs Optional: Indicates that the repository is of the BitBucket Server type as BB Server follows a different URL file format
--bb Optional: Indicates that the repository is of the BitBucket Cloud type as BB Cloud follows a different URL file format (also different from BB Server)
--bug-tracker Optional: Used to override the globally configured bug tracker as defined by the base YAML configuration. The name is case-sensitive and must match the exact bean name as specified in the --bug-tracker-impl list of available implementations. JIRA is the only option that is not on this list, but can be used as well
--spring.config.location Path to application.yml. This file contains the global configuration for CxFlow. It is only required, if the jar file and the application.yml file are not in the current working directory. Refer to the Spring Boot Documentation (section 24.3)
--offline If this flag is raised, the Checkmarx instance is not contacted. This means that no issue description is provided and Checkmarx custom fields cannot be used
blocksysexit Optional: Mainly for build/test purposes. Avoid System.exit() in the code and exit with java exception
