Hey Horst,
I understand that you wish to know the difference between ‘ checkers-activation-file’ and ‘checkers-selection-file’. Both Analysis Options are possible ways using which a custom set of coding rules can be defined and enabled for the Polyspace Bug Finder analysis. Though quite similar, there are a few differences in the usage of these options to enable customization.
For cases in which User Interface is not accessible, using the ‘-checkers-selection-file’ option you can modify writeable copies of XML files containing predefined rules for various coding standards. On the other hand, using ‘-checkers-activation-file’ option, you can activate the custom selection of coding rules and Bug Finder defects in a new activation XML file.
For more information you can refer the following links -checkers-activation-file -checkers-selection-file
I hope the above information resolves your query.
