You can automatically close test results (TRs) associated with retired configuration
items (CIs).

To configure the auto-close option, navigate to the system property
sn_vulc.auto_close_test_results_linked_to_retired_CIs and set it to true.
To automatically close TRs related to retired CIs, see [Automatically close test results related to retired CIs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9jtvMh4oNLsI7EeA9cORoA "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).").

For information on working with retired configuration items, see [Working with retired configuration items in Configuration Compliance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/F7iFyPleyAaVIVGhXnFpdg "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'.").
