# Running the `update.sh` script

## About this task

To run the `update.sh` script:

## Steps

1. Copy the `update.sh` script from the `util` directory to your MongoDB primary node.

   |   |                                                                        |
   | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | You can find the script in the `/opt/pingidentity/abs/util` directory. |

2. Access script help by logging into the MongoDB primary machine and running the following command:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/mongo/update.sh help
   ```

   ### Example:

   For example, change the training period to 48 hours:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/mongo/update.sh -u absuser -p abs123 --attack_initial_training 48
   updating training_period to 48
   WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
   The current values of the variables are:
   attack_initial_training=48
   attack_update_interval=24
   api_discovery=false
   discovery_update_interval=1
   continuous_learning=true
   discovery_initial_period=24
   url_limit=100
   response_size=100
   window_length=24
   discovery_subpath=3
   percentage_diskusage_limit=80

   Global Config successfully updated
   ```

3. After running the script, stop and start all ABS nodes for the updated values to take effect.

   | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | You can change the training period and threshold simultaneously or individually. |
