Each entry must be listed as a name value pair, where the name should be a string representation of a definition set GUID. As an example, the definition set GUID to enable test security intelligence is defined as: “{b54b6ac9-a737-498e-9120-6616ad3bf590}”. The value is not used and it is recommended that this be set to 0.
