Hi there,

Is it possible to remove the requirement for IV&V approvals for private organizations that wish to implement a slightly lighter workflow?

Thanks!

It is possible! But it is not for the faint of heart -- it requires some tweaking under the hood.

It will also mess up any findings that you have open that are in the status that you are attempting to remove.

These instructions assume that you are running version 2.6.x, but it might work for older versions. PLEASE work on a backup before you try this on a production box.

First, launch a MySQL client. Then type the following commands:


mysql> delete from evaluation where id in (2,4);
mysql> update evaluation set nextid=null;

If this doesn't work, then please do the following and post the output here:


mysql> select * from evaluation;
