Modified on Mon, 26 May at 4:00 PM

Purpose:
This article guides you through the steps to modify the synchronization schedule for your On-Premise SecPod Saner infrastructure, ensuring updates and scans occur at preferred intervals.

Steps to Change Sync Timings:

Step 1: Log into the Saner CVEM Application Instance

Access the Saner CVEM application instance using the proper credentials

Step 2: Navigate to repo.config

Path to repo.config is :- /usr/local/scaprepo/conf/repo.config open this file

Step 3: Edit Ancor Sync Schedule Configuration

Edit the AncorSyncSchedule.
Since it is written in cron expression, go ahead and edit it

Step 4: Modify the Sync Interval

From the screenhot above the explaination for the interval in simple terms is:-

00 — Minute: At minute 00
00 — Hour: At hour 00 (midnight)
* — Day of Month: Every day of the month
* — Month: Every month
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 — Day of Week: On every day of the week (1=Monday, 7=Sunday)
Choose your preferred sync interval from the available options (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Some systems allow you to specify exact times or cron expressions for advanced scheduling.

Step 5: Save the Changes

After adjusting the sync timings, Save to update the configuration and restart the tomcatd
Command:- systemctl restart tomcatd.

Step 6: Verify Sync Operation

Monitor the next sync time to ensure the schedule change is in effect.
Check logs or status indicators in the console to confirm successful synchronization.

Additional Notes:

Changing sync timings can affect how current your vulnerability and patch data is.
It’s recommended to schedule syncs during off-peak hours to reduce network load.
Administrative privileges are required to modify sync settings.
