Dev Content Repository update issues

L1 Bithead

Hello,

 

I'm working in a XSOAR Dev to Prod environment.  

 

The connection from Dev to it's repository branch was broken a while back.

When updating the password I'm getting the following message asking me to discard all of my local Dev changes.

I tried connecting the dev side of XSOAR to it's existing branch, and also a new branch.  Same message wanting me to delete all the local changes.  We do not want to delete any local changes on the XSOAR dev server.

 

Any thoughts on how to reconnect this so I can update the dev repository?

I would recommend clicking review changes to see what all has not been synced. Before trying anything I would take a backup of either the items individually if there aren't too many or as a whole through About > Troubleshooting > Custom Content > Export. This way, if anything is deleted, you can re-import it. I tested on my own instance by deleting the key in Github, generating a new one, and updating Github and XSOAR with the new key pair while keeping the same branch. After typing in Discard and clicking Continue I got a new screen that asked me which local changes I wanted to migrate to the new configuration as seen here:

After keeping all those checked and clicking Continue the process finished and I was able to see that content under Local Changes and push it to Github.

Thank you,

 

Before I did anything, I ran a backup like you recommended.

Then I ran the playbook XSOAR - Simple Dev to Prod Job to run a second backup just for piece of mind.

 

I reconnected the login for my Dev server and I did have to type 'Discard' to get to the second confirmation window.

From here, I was able to decide what gets uploaded to the repository, or what gets discarded.

 

TL:DR, the Discard window is misleading, typing 'Discard' brought me to a second prompt asking what I wanted to upload or discard.  I chose to upload all my changes.
