  • Configure the Exception reason integration to automatically synchronize exception reasons between your non-production and production instances.

    Before you begin

    My SN Instances registration and authentication must be complete before configuring this integration. See Register your instance.

    Role required: sn_se.scan_engine_admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to ALL > Impact > Configuration > Scan Engine Properties.
    2. Select the Exception reason properties tab.
    3. Configure the integration settings.
      To require production approval before exception reasons take effect, select Enable approvals in production and specify one or more Approval Groups. Exception reasons will sync in a Requested state until approved or rejected.

    Result

    Exception reasons created or updated on non-production instances are automatically synchronized to production. If approvals are enabled, the status syncs back to the developer instance after a decision is made.
