This task describes how to force a full reindex when using Solr.
This task assumes you are using only one Solr instance for all nodes in the SkyVault cluster. If not, then you need to repeat this process on each Solr instance used in the cluster.
-
Confirm the location of the Solr core directories for
archive-SpacesStore and workspace-SpacesStore
cores. This can be determined from the solrcore.properties file for
both the cores.
By default, the solrcore.properties file can be found at C:\alfresco\alf_data\solr\workspace-SpacesStore\conf and C:\alfresco\alf_data\solr\archive-SpacesStore\conf.
The Solr core location is defined in the solrcore.properties file as:
# data is in ${data.dir.root}/${data.dir.store} data.dir.root=C:/alfresco/alf_data/solr data.dir.store=workspace/SpacesStore - Shut down Solr. If Solr is running on the same server as a SkyVault instance, the SkyVault instance will also be shut down.
-
Delete the contents of the index data directories for each Solr core at
${data.dir.root}.
- C:\alfresco\alf_data\solr\workspace\SpacesStore
- C:\alfresco\alf_data\solr\archive\SpacesStore
-
Delete all the SkyVault
models for each Solr core at ${data.dir.root}.
- C:\alfresco\alf_data\solr\workspace-SpacesStore\alfrescoModels
- C:\alfresco\alf_data\solr\archive-SpacesStore\alfrescoModels
- Start up the application server that runs Solr.
-
Monitor the application server logs for Solr. You will get the following warning
messages on bootstrap:

Use the Solr administration console to check the health of the Solr index.
Note: The process of building the Solr indexes may take some time depending on the size of the repository. To monitor the reindexing progress, use the Solr administration console and check the logs for any issues during this activity. Whilst the index is rebuilding, searches from SkyVault may return incomplete or inaccurate results.
