# Perform a manual NVD integration import

If your initial import failed, or you don’t want to wait for the scheduled initial import, you can perform a full data import independent of the daily or weekly scheduled job.

## Before you begin

**Note:** The NIST National Vulnerability Database Integration- API \(CPE only\) and the NIST National Vulnerability Database Integration-API \(Unmapped CPE\) integrations are inactive by default. See [Activate the NIST National Vulnerability Database–API \(CPE only\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/install-nvd.md) and [Activate the NIST National Vulnerability Database–API \(Unmapped CPE\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/install-nvd.md) for more information.

Role required: sn\_vul.vulnerability\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Vulnerability Response or Application Vulnerability Response** > **Administration** > **Integrations**.

2.  Choose and integration, for example, the NIST National Vulnerability Database Integration - API \(CVE only\) integration.

3.  Select **Execute Now**.

    **Note:** If the NIST National Vulnerability Database Integration-API \(Unmapped CPE\) Integration is activated, associated CPE data is stored in the Vulnerable Software related list of the NVD vulnerability entry. See [Vulnerability Response vulnerability form fields](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/vulnerability-fields.md).

4.  For integration run statuses see, [View the \(National Vulnerability Database\) NVD integration import run status](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/nvd-check-imports.md).
