How to get repository ID from Cloud Manager GIT (Backend)

[praveen_goplani_accenture]

Hi All,

We have created repository "test" from dashboard and then deleted it. Eventually we tried creating "test" repository again from Cloud manger dashboard and we received error as repository name should be unique which shows that repository was only soft-deleted and its till has reference in backend.   

We raised case with Adobe support and Adobe support requested for repository id toget the same deleted, Is there a way to get the repository id using CLI ?

Please provide any sample commands to get such details.

Hi @praveen_goplani_accenture ,

Try using 'Cloud Manager API Playground'. Replace the program id in below url and check if it works.

https://www.adobe.io/experience-cloud/cloud-manager/reference/playground/#/api/program/{program id}/repositories

In output check in repositories array.

"repositories": [
{
 "_links": {
     "http://ns.adobe.com/adobecloud/rel/branches": {
        "href": "/api/program/{program-id}/repository/{repository-id}/branches",
        "templated": false
      }
   }
]

Your are awesome Kishore  

Yes I can see that it retrieve the repositories which exists on ACM dashboard but it doesn't showcase soft-deleted repo's [which are deleted from dashboard but still they have references in backend for recovery (if needed by user)]  .

I am looking for deleted repo's details.

@praveen_goplani_accenture Could you please let me know how can I do soft-deletion of repo? AFAIK, repo deletion is irreversible.  

[praveen_goplani_accenture]

In Azure infrastructure, if we delete a repo from ACM dashboard it gets deleted from dashboard but in backend it reside for 60 days,  in case if someone want to retrieve it back. I have requested in past to Adobe support and they have deleted that permanently. Hence I was bale to create a repo with same name again else its not possible as it holds reference in backend.
