About this task

The recommendations and their confidence scores may differ slightly between invocations, based on the samples taken from the selected VIs. The confidence score evaluates whether the system is confident that the recommended assignment group is suited to resolve the vulnerability. Use the assignment_recommendation_batchsize system property to set the batch size when you request Vulnerability Assignment Recommendations for remediation tasks (VULs) and VIs using the bulk edit option. The default value of this system property is set for optimum prediction performance.

Note:

If you increase the default value, the response time for Vulnerability Assignment Recommendations for these cases might change.
