Prescan - It is required for a regular nightly quality check?
We have a good few quality pipelines executing taking 20 mins. This is roughly split to 10 min prescan and 10 mins main scan.
I know the prescan verifies that the upload package format is acceptable etc but we really need the time reduction. The output of the scan only goes on for MIS review so what am I really gaining about doing a prescan each time - (Can/should I just disable?)

Hello @JBrowning340945 (Community Member) ,
Static prescan is not optional and is part of the process, so it can't be disabled. Can you please let me know why 20 minutes is too long of a wait time for you? Also how frequently are you running this scan and what time of the day (or at night) are you running the scan?

Yes – apologies, I am on vacation this week (just checking on email now and again).
For some reason I thought the pre-scan was optional so thanks for setting me straight.
On my return I will be looking at seeing how we can improve some scan times as we are getting some strange differences.
20 mins isn’t too long (I agree), that was a figure for my question/example. We have some taking over an hour though and when multiple people are working in the same application it starts to build up so I was looking to shave time etc.
Best regards,
Jon.
