fisheye 3.10.3 : how to start indexing from a given point of repository
Asked by Laura SARGSYAN:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Re-indexing your repository](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=298976884)*

We have a problem with our repository with revision XXX. Is it possible to start indexing from the particular revision or a date? I found in documentation that this could be done by configuring **Start Revision** parameter. [Here.](https://answers.atlassian.com/Here.https:/confluence.atlassian.com/fisheye/configuring-start-revision-based-on-date-298977098.html)  

It's not understandable where one can modify the command

e.g.

```
svn log -r {YYYY-MM-DD}:HEAD <SVN_URL> -l 1
```

Thank you.

Regards

You can edit repository settings. If they will require a re-index, you will be notified about this.

Go to: Administration \> Repositories \> \[repository name\] \> SCM details (tab) \> Start revision

body: Re-indexing finished very fast ,but when I browse repository get only one commit for revision #x that I choose as a Start revision


author: Laura SARGSYAN
body: Start Revision appears when you add directory. How to deal if you already configured and want to modify due to some repo issues? in my case I added repo and got an error

Repository paused due to error com.cenqua.fisheye.rep.RepositoryClientException: org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: E204900: Can't read file '/svn/reps/aaaaa/revs/x/xxxx': End of file found

I would like to restart indexing but from the e.g xxxx+1 version. Is it any way to modify this?

Thanks.

The command you have found is just a way to find a revision on a given date.

If you know the start revision, you can configure it on the administration screen of your repository:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/fisheye/subversion-298976887.html>

Start Revision - If set, the revision number from which FishEye will start indexing the repository. The default is to start scanning from the first revision in the repository.

On a side note I would strongly advise to upgrade FishEye 4.2.
