Setting up the Subversion Sync between two Server (Primary-Secondary)

I assume that you have working Primary Subversion Server.  I also assume that you have new Subversion Server that would act as a Secondary Server. All the action should be done on Secondary Server.

Primary Server: https://svn.vaseem/svn/reponame/

Secondary Server: https://svn.vaseem2.com/svn/reponame/

     

1.  Create the repo (claimcolony) with the following command or by GUI

svnadmin create "C:\Repositories\reponame”

we can check the revision and other information by the following command

svn info https://svn.vaseem.com/svn/reponame/

Path: igdbatchtool

URL: https://svn.vaseem/svn/xyzrepo

Repository Root: https://svn.vaseem/svn/xyzrepo

Repository UUID: aaac7bac-4d54-a44b-87f7-7681aaadcd9b

Revision: 0

Node Kind: directory

Last Changed Rev: 0

Last Changed Date: 2012-07-06 05:55:11 -0700 (Fri, 06 Jul 2012)

   

2.  Check the UUID of created repo with

svn info https://svn.vaseem/svn/xyzrepo/

set the same UUID for the newly created repo as of Primary repo by command

svnadmin setuuid  /path/of/repo/  UUID of Primary repo

svnadmin setuuid "D:\Repositories\xyzrepo" db5423f0-d7e9-4b4a-b701-935fb5d42e4b

     

3.  Initialize the sync from Primary repository by the below command

svnsync initialize DEST_URL SOURCE_URL

this will throw errors so we need to go to the mirror (secondary) repo and need to change the pre-revporp-change hook to change so that it can accept the change

Now initialize the sync for repository

svnsync initialize DEST_URL SOURCE_URL

svnsync initialize https://svn.vaseem.com/svn/xyzrepo/

https://svn.vaseem2.com/svn/xyzrepo/

Now start sync

svnsync sync DEST_URL SOURCE_URL

svnsync sync https://svn.vaseem.com/svn/xyzrepo/

https://svn.vaseem2.com/svn/xyzrepo/

this will start syncing…
