Issues

• Often in DEV or QA environments, customer found that Iguana was taking a long time to commit

• It also takes a longer time to start up

  • [INFO ] Optimizing Git repositories. This may take a few minutes...

• In some special cases, the commits will fail or timeout

Cause

• Overtime the IguanaMainRepo has too many commit histories which may affect Iguana to update the repo

Solutions

• Cleanup IguanaMainRepo but preserve existing channels and configurations

Steps to Cleanup IguanaMainRepo

1. Create a local temporary repository (e.g “TempRepo”)

2. Ensure all translator changes have been committed

3. Export all your channels with sample data to TempRepo

   • If you are exporting a large amount of channels, export 10-20 channels at a time. This ensures that if there is an issue with Iguana while exporting only some channels must be re-exported.

4. Make a backup of “IguanaMainRepo” folder

5. Make a backup of the “run” and “edit” folders

6. Make a backup of “IguanaConfiguration.xml” file found in IguanaConfigurationRepo folder
