Also we have the mentioned cron script for refreshing content from cdn.

[root@xxddd cron.daily]# cat katello-refresh-cdn 
#!/bin/env bash
# script for refreshing the newest content from CDN. It doesn't synchronize the
# repositories but lets Katello know there is new content available.

# running the script from rails root

rake katello:refresh_cdn RAILS_ENV=production

popd &> /dev/null

    New Contents:
User is unable to access new repositories from CDN through System Engine. This update allows users to refresh product repositories with the command:
katello provider refresh_products --name "Provider" --org "Organization"
A cron script is also written to alert System Engine when there is new content available.
