    About this task

    The Vulnerability Response - Scan Vulnerable Items workflow creates a scan record for the vulnerable item or group of items from which it was invoked.
    Note:
    • It is good practice to rescan vulnerabilities or vulnerable items after remediation when a vulnerability patch is applied to the affected records. You can perform the rescan is using the method described or you can automate the rescans.
    • Starting with v23.0 of Vulnerability Response, the Vulnerability Response - Scan Vulnerable Items workflow is deprecated and replaced by the flow Rescan Vulnerable Item in the flow designer.

    Workflow process activities include: Variables for Create Scan Record for Vulnerabilities activity
