About Reuser agent

If you have already uploaded a version of a package and clearing has been done on it. While uploading the next version of it, you can reuse the clearing decisions from the previous upload saving you lot of time.

The files from both uploads (new and old) are compared using their hash. If there is a match, the clearing decisions from reused upload file are copied to the new upload file.

Reuser also supports enhanced reuse mode (which can be slow). This mode will copy a clearing decision if the two files differ by one line determined by the diff tool.

Reuser also supports reusing the main license(s) which copies any main license decisions from old upload to new upload.

Supported actions

Currently, unified report agent does not support CLI commands and read only from scheduler.
