The RunDefinition.exe utility checks the specified folder for the newFiles.txt file, and if it exists, it imports the latest asset models in that folder. This import should be scheduled each day at least two hours after the download of the latest Vulnerability Management asset model. This time delay helps to make sure the file has been downloaded and transferred before the utility attempts to import it. Then you must schedule a task to run the Vulnerability Matching sequence at least three hours after the Vulnerability Management import.

The first time the Vulnerability Management asset model is imported, Integrity creates an asset named VM.

To schedule importing the latest vulnerability management asset model:

  1. On the Cyber Integrity server, click Windows Start, type Task, and then click Task Scheduler to open Windows Task Scheduler.

  2. Schedule the RunDefinition.exe utility, located in the InstallPath\DataCollector folder, to run each day and import the latest Vulnerability Management asset model by completing the following steps:

    1. In the Task Scheduler window, click Action > Create Task.

    2. Type a Name for the task and set the various other settings you want to use.

    3. On the General tab, select the following options:

      • Run whether user is logged on or not

      • Do not store password

      • Run with highest privileges

      • Hidden

    4. On the Triggers tab, click New.

    5. Set the schedule options to run once a day, and then click OK.

    6. On the Actions tab, click New.

    7. Set Action to Start a program.

    8. Set Program/script to the path and file name for the RunDefinition.exe utility.

      The path and file name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    9. Set Add arguments to "ImportAssetModel|path", and then click OK. path identifies the folder where the latest vulnerability management asset model file is transferred by the FTPDownload.exe utility.

      Each asset model must be in its own folder. Use a separate folder for the vulnerability management asset model, such as "Installpath\DataCollector\Asset Models\PAS VM". The path and file name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    10. Set Start in to the path and folder where the RunDefinition.exe utility is stored, and then click OK.

      The path name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

  3. Click OK to close the Create Task window.

To schedule the Vulnerability Matching sequence:

  1. In the Admin Utility, click the Schedules link.

  2. Click Add to open the Schedule Properties window and add a new schedule. This window provides several tabs:

    • General: Used to name the import schedule and indicate the server where the data collector is located.

    • Sequences: Used to configure import tasks.

    • Schedule: Used to specify the frequency and start time for the import.

  3. On the General tab, type a name for the task and the name of the Integrity server or data collector importing the data. By default, the Enabled option is selected to indicate that the import should proceed at the scheduled time.

  4. Click on the Sequences tab to configure import tasks and sequences.

    1. Choose the Vulnerability Management asset in the Asset field.

    2. Select Import NVD Data in the Definition list, and then click the > button to move it into the Sequence box.

  5. Click the Schedule tab, select the frequency of the execution of the task, and specify when the import should begin. Schedule the sequence for at least three hours after the download of the latest Vulnerability Management asset model. To run the import immediately, check the Run now check box.

  6. Click OK. All scheduled imports are listed on the Schedule Imports and Monitor Progress window. Click the plus sign (+) next to each import schedule to see the import tasks included in it. Notice the Percent Complete column for each task. The web application should not be launched until all data imports have successfully completed.
