A vulnerability integration is configured to run on a scheduled basis. However, you can run them manually when needed.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_vul.vulnerability_write

Persona and granular roles are available to help you manage what users and groups can see and do in the Vulnerability Response application. For an initial assignment of the persona roles in Setup Assistant, see Assign the Vulnerability Response persona roles using Setup Assistant. For more information about managing granular roles, see Manage persona and granular roles for Vulnerability Response.

About this task

During integration execution, multiple processes are generated, and data is received in the form of pages. Each process can contain one or more import queue entries with attached data in pages. These entries must process the data within the one-hour time limit. However, if the payload size is large, the processing time may exceed one hour or get stuck, resulting in an integration timeout error. The integration continues to process the data despite the timeout error. To avoid this miscommunication, starting from version 18.2.4 of Vulnerability Response, timestamps (heartbeats) are sent periodically to indicate if the queue is active and processing data. The Last Record Processed field in the Import Queue Entry page is updated based on the count of records the import queue creates or updates. In case an import queue entry exceeds the one-hour time limit, the system checks the Last Record Processed field to see if it is also older than one hour. If it is, this indicates that the import queue entry is stuck, and it is timed out to prevent any further delays in processing.
Note: The Last Record Processed field is updated based on what is defined in the following system properties:
  • sn_sec_cmn.record_threshold_heartbeat: Defines the number of processed records, after which the heartbeat (timestamp) is sent to the import queue entry.
  • sn_sec_cmn.maximum_heartbeat_delay: Defines the time after which the import queue entry must be timed out.
