Managing Work Requests
Describes how to generate information on each application dependency management operation's work requests.
Many of the application dependency management requests do not take effect immediately. In these cases, the request spawns an asynchronous workflow for fulfillment.
To provide visibility for in-progress workflows, application dependency management creates a work request object. Because some operations depend on the completion of other operations, you must monitor each operation's work request and confirm it has succeeded before proceeding to the next operation. For example, if you want to create a knowledge base and associate a new vulnerability audit with the knowledge base, you first must create the knowledge base. After that operation completes, you can create a new vulnerability audit.
If you try to create a new vulnerability audit before the knowledge base creation completes, the system cannot ensure that the request to add the knowledge base succeeds. You can monitor the request to create a knowledge base to determine when that workflow is complete, and then create a vulnerability audit.
You can perform the following work request management tasks:
