Configure scheduler to update issues automatically

Configure the scheduler to update the Jira issues automatically for the records that have been added in the sn_vul_agile_tool_manifest table.

Before you begin

Role required: admin or schedule_admin.

About this task

All the records of the Application Vulnerable Item, Container Vulnerable Item, Application Remediation task and Container Remediation created in the sn_vul_agile_manifest table is considered for Jira issue update. If the record gets closed, and comments are added then those values also should get updated to the associated Jira issue.

Note:

• The "update issues" scheduled job won’t update the Jira state if the workflow for the chosen agile issue project restricts any user from directly changing the state from another state.
• If you close any entity record with additional comments, then only the last comment is considered at the time of update, and for the next update, all the comments are added to the associated Jira.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Definition > Scheduled Jobs > Update Jira Issues.
2. You can modify the Run, Time zone, and Time fields in the Scheduled script.

This selection runs in the same manner as Business Calendar: Entry Start, but for the end dates of the associated business calendar entries. Note: When you select Business Calendar: Entry Start or Business Calendar: Entry End, you can apply an offset factor to schedule the job to run before or after the time span of the selected business calendar.

For example: To run the scheduled job every four days, enter 04 in the Days field. To run it every 26 hours, enter 26 in the Hours field. If it should repeat at an interval of 13:30:25, enter 13 in the Hours field, and then enter 30 and 25 in the two unlabeled fields after it.

US/Pacific time if it’s the user's assigned time zone, and you enter 16:45 into the Time field.

For example, the scheduled job runs at 10:15 PM London time if Europe/London is the default system time zone for the instance, and you enter 22:15 in the Time field. Actual time zone. For example, the scheduled job runs at 1:30 PM in the US Eastern time zone if you select US/Eastern and enter 13:30 in the Time field.
