    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Your instance automatically synchronizes AWS KMS key status every 30 minutes through a background job. However, you can manually trigger synchronization for immediate updates. Manual synchronization is useful when resolving key status issues, after changing it in AWS, or when you must verify the status immediately.

    Prozedur

    1. Log in to your instance.
    2. Elevate your privileges if necessary.
    3. Navigate to All > System Definition > Scheduled Jobs > Triggers.
    4. Search for and open the EKMS sys_trigger job.
      You can filter by name using "EKMS" to quickly locate the job.
    5. Select Execute Now to manually run the synchronization job.
      The job executes and fetches the current AWS key status from your AWS KMS.

    Ergebnisse

    The synchronization job has run and updated your EKMS key status. The current AWS KMS key status is reflected in your instance.

    Nächste Maßnahme

    After synchronization:

    • Check the EKMS Configuration page to verify the key status updated correctly.
    • Test encryption or decryption operations to confirm functionality.
    • Review any banner messages or security tasks that might have been created based on the updated status.
    Hinweis:
    The automatic synchronization job continues to run every 30 minutes. Manual synchronization results in immediate updates and doesn't affect the scheduled job's timing.
