We tried to fetch the code for the specific branch just before the scan and tried to checkout the branch itself, nothing worked.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Hi,

Your version is past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTA (long-term active version) at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

9.6 → 9.9.4 → 10.4 (last step optional)

You may find these resources helpful:

If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that here.

If your error persists after upgrade, please come back to us.
