fix

The Maximum Depth parameter specifies the number of levels down in a structure Vulnerability Manager checks during a custom check. The number specified includes the current level.

Valid values:

• 0 - searches all level of a structure
• 1 - searches the current level
• n - where n is a number greater than one. Vulnerability Manager searches the current level and n - 1 levels down. For example, when Maximum Depth=3, Vulnerability Manager searches the current level and two child levels below.
