Saving a project that exceeds the maximum removed issues limit

When you save a project that has more than the maximum number of removed issues, Fortify Audit Workbench displays following warning message:

Your project contains more than <removed_issues_limit> removed issues. 
Would you like to persist them all, or limit the number to <removed_issues_limit>? 
If you limit the number, audited removed issues will take precedence over unaudited ones.

Click Limit to limit the number of issues to the maximum or click Save All to save all the removed issues. The com.fortify.RemovedIssuePersistanceLimit property controls the maximum number of removed issues <removed_issues_limit>. See the OpenTextâ„¢ Application Security Tools Guide for more information.

To configure how Fortify Audit Workbench handles this issue for future occurrences:

  1. Select Options > Options.
  2. In the left pane, select Audit Configuration.
  3. Select the Configuration tab.
  4. Under Save Audit Project Options, specify one of the following configuration settings:

    • Limit removed issues to the maximum number
    • Save all removed issues every time
    • Prompt me next time
  5. Click OK.
