How do I change the timeout property for an svn repository in crucible through the web api?

[Marc Hilao]

There is a way to change this using the web interface, but we are integrating crucible into our own system and would like a way to provision/enable/start/disable/delete repositories on demand (as development teams are added retired accg. to business needs).

I've perused the api documentation below:

http://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fecru.html
http://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fisheye.html
http://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/crucible.html

I haven't found any way to set the timeout property. Snooping on the form in the web ui (repository administration) didn't give me anything useful (js form submission). May I ask for assistance?

Hi Marc,

Are you asking about [UI]: Repository Settings > Repository (svn) > SCM Details > SVN Operation Timeout?

Have a look at this endpoint (added to Fisheye & Crucible 3.4):

https://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fecru.html#rest-service-fecru:admin:repositories

Have a look at repository creation example (POST) and you will find all properties you can modify on any repository type. You can update any repository by sending a PUT with a partial update i.e. only the fields you want to update.

In this case you would have to send a PUT to:

/rest-service-fecru/admin/repositories/{name}

with the following payload:

{
  "svn" : {
    "commandTimeout" : "1 hour"
}

Thank you, I can't believe I missed that. This is exactly what I needed.

What is the solution for the Windows-based FeCru system?
