• Working with retired configuration items in Configuration Compliance
  Decommissioned configuration items (CIs) are moved to retired, archived, or deleted state in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB). Configuration Compliance contains test results (TRs) that are made up of CIs. When the state of a CI is updated to retired, the associated TRs are closed with the substate 'CI decommissioned'.
• Automatically close test results related to retired CIs
  If the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) changes the life cycle stage status of a configuration item (CI) to retired, you can choose to automatically close the associated test results (TRs).
