The functionality of this script has been superceded by features in standard Black Duck, which should be used for SPDX export going forward. SPDX and CycloneDX export is supported within Project Versions under the Report tab.
This script is provided under an OSS license (specified in the LICENSE file) to allow users to export SPDX version 2.2 in JSON format from Black Duck projects.
It does not represent any extension of licensed functionality of Synopsys software itself and is provided as-is, without warranty or liability.
If you have comments or issues, please raise a GitHub issue here. Synopsys support is not able to respond to support tickets for this OSS utility.
The script is designed to export SPDX version 2.2 in JSON format from a Black Duck project.
It relies on the Black Duck hub-rest-api-python package to access the Black Duck APIs (see prerequisites below to install and configure this package).
The project name and version need to be specified. If the project name is not matched in the server then the list of projects matching the supplied project string will be displayed (and the script will terminate). If the version name is not matched for the specified project, then the list of all versions will be displayed (and the script will terminate).
The output file in SPDX JSON format can optionally be specified; the project name and version name with .json extension will be used for the default filename if nor specified. If the output file already exists, it will be renamed using a numeric extension (for example .001).
The optional --recursive option will traverse sub-projects to include all leaf components. If not specified, and sub-projects exist in the specified project, then the sub-projects will be skipped.
Other options can be specified to reduce the number of API calls to speed up script execution.
Fixed issue with API limits introduced in 2022.2.
Added option --exclude_ignored_components (or -x) to exclude ignored components
Minor fix for projects in projects
Making all component data requests async delivering additional 2-3x overall speed improvements
Addressed Windows error related to asyncio sessions
Refactored the script to multiple modules and some other minor changes
Changes to improve JSON formatting, minimum SPDX required fields, add package supplier info in custom field.
This version uses the aiohttp library to perform asynchronous download of component data, reducing the time to process projects by 3x to 6x.
-
Pip 3 must be installed.
-
Set the BLACKDUCK_URL and BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN environment variables to connect to the Black Duck server (alternatively use the
--blackduck_urland--blackduck_api_tokenoptions)
Install the package using the command:
pip3 install bd-export-spdx2.2
The program can be invoked as follows:
usage: bd-export-spdx [-h] [-v] [-o OUTPUT] [-r] [--download_loc] [--no_copyrights] [--no_files] [-b] [--blackduck_url BLACKDUCK_URL]
[--blackduck_api_token BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN] [--blackduck_trust_certs]
project_name project_version
Export SPDX JSON format file for the given project and version
positional arguments:
project_name Black Duck project name
project_version Black Duck version name
other arguments:
--blackduck_url BLACKDUCK_URL
Black Duck server URL including https://
--blackduck_api_token BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN
Black Duck API token
--blackduck_trust_certs
Trust Black Duck server certificates if unsigned
--blackduck_timeout Change the server connection timeout (default 15 seconds)
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version Print script version and exit
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Output SPDX file name (SPDX JSON format) - default '<proj>-<ver>.json'
-r, --recursive Scan sub-projects within projects (default = false)
--download_loc Attempt to identify component download link extracted from Openhub (slows down processing - default=false)
--no_copyrights Do not export copyright data for components (speeds up processing - default=false)
--no_files Do not export file data for components (speeds up processing - default=false)
-b, --basic Do not export copyright, download link or package file data (speeds up processing - same as using "--no_copyrights --no_files")
-x, --exclude_ignored_components
Exclude ignored components from the output file
--modify_spdx_fields
Specify JSON fields to modify in SPDX final output using the following modified JSON
representation: "packages.[*].annotations.[*].annotator;Organization: Acme,
packages.[*].annotations.[*].annotationType;REVIEW.
This would set all package annotation annotator entries to "Organization: Acme" and all
annotation types to "REVIEW"
--debug Add reporting of processed components
If project_name does not match a single project then all matching projects will be listed and the script will terminate.
If version does not match a single project version then all matching versions will be listed and the script will terminate.
The script will use the environment variables BLACKDUCK_URL and BLACKDUCK_API_TOKEN if they are set. Alternatively use the options --blackduck_url and --blackduck_api_token to specify them on the command line.
Use the --blackduck_trust_certs option to trust the SSL certificate on the Black Duck server if unsigned.
The --output out_file or -o out_file option specifies the output file. If this file already exists, the previous version will be renamed with a unique number (e.g. .001). The default file name <project>-<version>.spdx will be used if not specified.
The --recursive or -r option will cause Black Duck sub-projects to be processed, adding the components of sub-projects to the overall SPDX output file. If the processed project version contains sub-projects and this option is not specified, they will be ignored.
The --download_loc option will try to extract component download locations from Openhub.net (PackageDownloadLocation tag), increasing the number of API calls and time to complete the script.
The --no_copyrights option will stop the processing of component copyright text (PackageCopyrightText tag) reducing the number of API calls and time to complete the script.
The --no_files option will stop the processing of component filename (PackageFileName tag) reducing the number of API calls and time to complete the script.
The --basic or -b option will stop the processing of copy, download link or package file (same as using --no_downloads --no_copyrights --no_files options) reducing the number of API calls and time to complete the script.
By default for OSS components, Black Duck with use the external reference (forge name) to populate the 'packageSupplier' SPDX field for components (and the 'externalRefs' 'packageLocator' entries). For custom components in the BOM, users will need to manually populate this. Create a custom fields for 'BOM Component' entries with name 'PackageSupplier' and type 'Text'. Updating the custom field for custom (or KB) components will replace the value in the output SPDX file.
