Is it possible to directly integrate and scan a Salesforce org as part of a single code analysis for SonarQube self-hosted users?

In self-hosted environments, Salesforce direct integration is not possible; therefore, CodeScan SCA through direct integration is not possible.

Can I create a new SonarQube™ instance and use the existing CodeScan license if one of my SonarQube™ instances was mistakenly deleted?

   • username: admin

   • password: admin

2. Go to the top right and select Administrator.

3. On the right side, select General Settings.

4. On the category list, select CodeScan.
