Upgrading from Solr 4 to Solr 6 search

http://localhost:8080/solr6/admin/cores?action=SUMMARY&wt=xml 

For details, see the Unindexed Solr
 Transactions topic.

1. Open the FireFox Certificate Manager by selecting Firefox > Preferences... > Advanced > Certificates > View Certificates > Your Certificates.
2. Import the browser keystore browser.p12 that is located in your <ALFRESCO_HOME>/alf_data/keystore directory.
3. Enter the password SkyVault.

   A window displays showing that the keystore has been imported successfully. The Certificate Manager now contains the imported keystore with the SkyVault repository certificate under the Your Certificates tab.

4. Close the Certificate Manager by clicking OK.
5. In the browser, navigate to a Solr URL.

   For example, use http://localhost:8080/solr4 for Solr 4 and http://localhost:8080/solr6 for Solr 6.

   The browser displays an error message window to indicate that the connection is untrusted. This is due to the SkyVault certificate not being tied to the server IP address. In this case, view the certificate and confirm that it is signed by the SkyVault Certificate Authority.

6. Expand I understand the risks.
7. Select Add Exception.
8. Click View.

   This displays the certificate.

9. Confirm that the certificate was issued by SkyVault Certificate Authority, and then confirm the Security Exception.

Access to Solr 6 is granted. The Solr Admin page is displayed. It is divided into two parts.

The left-side of the screen is a menu under the Solr logo that provides navigation through various screens. The first set of links are for system-level information and configuration and provide access to Logging, Core Admin and Java Properties. At the end of this information is a list of Solr cores configured for this instance of SkyVault.

The center of the screen shows the detail of the Solr core selected, such as statistics, summary report, and so on.

• In the REPORT option, node count should match the number of live nodes in the repository (assuming nothing is changing and the index is updated). The index contains a document for failed nodes, so failures need to be considered separately.
• Any missing transactions; if there are issues, use the FIX option.

  http://localhost:8080/solr6/admin/cores?action=FIX

  For more information, see the Troubleshooting Solr Index topic.

• Find errors with specific nodes using DOC_TYPE:ErrorNode option.

  https://localhost:8446/solr6/alfresco/afts?q=DOC_TYPE:ErrorNode 

• If there are any issues, use the REINDEX option with the relevant node id.

  
  http://localhost:8080/solr6/admin/cores?action=REINDEX&txid=1&acltxid=2&nodeid=3&aclid=4 

  For more information, see the Troubleshooting Solr Index topic.
