force full sync

First, find the pulp_id for the repository having issues

foreman-rake console

> Katello::Repository.find(REPO_ID).pulp_id

Copy the value returned above, it should look like something crazy, e.g. Sat6-CI-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Server-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_Server_RPMs_x86_64_7Server


Now we alter mongo:

$ mongo
> use pulp_database
> db.repo_importers.find({'repo_id': 'Sat6-CI-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Server-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_Server_RPMs_x86_64_7Server'}, {repo_id: 1})

This should return the importer information, where we are looking for the _id, e.g.:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("57275a3b52eb2b65d82f790b"), "repo_id" : "Sat6-CI-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Server-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_Server_RPMs_x86_64_7Server" }

Now lets look at the data for this:

> db.repo_importers.find({_id: ObjectId("57275a3b52eb2b65d82f790b")}, {})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("57275a4152eb2b65d7aafcec"), "scratchpad" : { "repomd_revision" : 123255122 } }


Now what we want to do to force a full re-sync is to set repomd_revision field to null:

> db.repo_importers.update({_id: ObjectId("57275a4152eb2b65d7aafcec")}, {$set: {"scratchpad.repomd_revision": null}})

Re-check that the update went through:


> db.repo_importers.find({_id: ObjectId("57275a3b52eb2b65d82f790b")}, {})
{ "_id" : ObjectId("57275a4152eb2b65d7aafcec"), "scratchpad" : { "repomd_revision" : null } }
