Verify repository data

To check the integrity of your repositories, you can verify them ad hoc or schedule a job that does this periodically.

This feature is available since Subversion Edge 3.0.0.

    1. In the Scheduled Jobs page, select the Verify Repository job.
    2. Specify how often and at what times you want the repository verified.
    3. Click Create.
    You can check the status of the job in Administration > Jobs.
The Verify job runs the svandmin verify command. The ad hoc option generates an email whether the verify succeeds or fails. The scheduled job generates an email only if the verify fails and there is corruption found.

The user who submitted the job is sent emails on success (for an ad hoc verify) as well as failure. In addition, the Administrator Email account specified in Administration > Server Settings is also sent emails on failure.

Note: To receive emails, you must select Enable email notifications and configure the settings in Administration > Mail Server.
