# vastcatalogconfig modify

This command enables or disables VAST Catalog, and also modifies the periodic snapshot schedule for VAST Catalog.

## Usage

```plaintext
vastcatalogconfig modify --id ID
                        [--schedule SCHEDULE]
                        [--enable|--disable]
                        [--splits COUNT]
```

## Required Parameters

| `--id ID` | Specifies the ID of the existing VAST Catalog configuration. To retrieve this ID, use [vastcatalogconfig list](/docs-5-4/docs/en/vastcatalogconfig-list). |
| --- | --- |

## Options

| `--schedule SCHEDULE` | Specifies the schedule definition in the following format: `every <integer><time unit> start-at YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS keep-local <integer><time unit> keep-remote <integer><time unit>` For example: `--schedule every 90m start-at 2025-07-27 20:10:35 keep-local 10h keep-remote 30d` |
| --- | --- |
| `--enable` | Enables VAST Catalog. |
| `--disable` | Disables VAST Catalog. |
| `--splits COUNT` | Specifies the number of splits (concurrent threads) used to scan catalog tables. This option can be used to improve VAST Catalog performance for queries that require scanning a large amount of table rows. |
