Issue/Introduction

A user wants to change the repo listed in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS -> REMOTE_REPOSITORY_URL however, despite changing the URL, the REST process shows that it is still connecting to the old repo.

Cause

Only a branch switch is possible within the same repo. This is only possible through a manual clean-up & reinitialization. The UC_REPO table links the client with the branch name and the commit (often a hash) — that is repo_version column in the table.

Resolution

In order to re-initialize the version control you would have to:

1. Remove the entry from the UC_REPO table for the client


2. Delete the folder from ae-filesystem that matches the client number


3. Change the value in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS


4. Logoff/logon in AWI so the new repo settings are used.


5. Initialize from scratch.
