To manually delete the repository cache and trigger the reindexing of the repository, the following steps can be performed against the repository in your instance.
Navigate to Fisheye administration page Repository Settings > Repositories
Stop the affected repository by selecting from the dropdown option in the Action column
Shutdown Fisheye instance
Backup and delete the cache folder of the affected repository at FISHEYE_INST/var/cache/MyRepoName directory
Start Fisheye instance
Start the repository from the dropdown option in the Action column and this will trigger the reindexing of the repository
This can also be achieved through Fisheye's User Interface by following the below steps:
Navigate to Fisheye administration page Repository Settings > Repositories
Select the repository under the Name column
Select the Maintenance link
Select Start for Re-clone and Re-index
This deletes the existing clone and cache and re-index the repository from scratch. For large or slow repositories this may take some time, during which some functionality will be unavailable. This action will also restart the repository.
