 The artifact will contain an archived copy of the source files scanned by {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} called _src.zip_. If you compare the source code files in the repository and the files in _src.zip_, you can see which types of file are missing. Once you know what types of file are not being analyzed, it is easier to understand how you may need to change the workflow for {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analysis.

 ## Extraction errors in the database
 
 The {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} team constantly works on critical extraction errors to make sure that all source files can be scanned. However, the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} extractors do occasionally generate errors during database creation. {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} provides information about extraction errors and warnings generated during database creation in a log file.

 Analysis time is typically proportional to the amount of code being analyzed. You can reduce the analysis time by reducing the amount of code being analyzed at once, for example, by excluding test code, or breaking analysis into multiple workflows that analyze only a subset of your code at a time.
 
-For compiled languages like Java, C, C++, and C#, {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analyzes all of the code which was built during the workflow run. To limit the amount of code being analyzed, build only the code which you wish to analyze by specifying your own build steps in a `run` block. You can combine specifying your own build steps with using the `paths` or `paths-ignore` filters on the `pull_request` and `push` events to ensure that your workflow only runs when specific code is changed.

-If you split your analysis into multiple workflows as described above, we still recommend that you have at least one workflow which runs on a `schedule` which analyzes all of the code in your repository. Because {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analyzes data flows between components, some complex security behaviors may only be detected on a complete build.
