Resolving security cases

As a security case agent, you can mark security cases as Resolved when the security issue for which the case was raised is fixed. You can change the status of a security case from the Assigned, In Progress, or Approval Pending status to Resolved. All tasks in the task flow of a security case must be completed to the mark a case as Resolved. While resolving the security case, you must select the Status Reason. 

Important

When cases that are created from a security tool by using BMC Helix iPaaS are updated, the corresponding security events are not updated.
