[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Components not displaying in one of our repositories

Hi everyone,

I wanted to update the list to let people know that we solved this issue
using the HM data checker plugin at https://github.com/hudmol/asck. It
identified an object that had an error, that apparently was causing the
indexing to get hung up. We were able to delete the object directly from
the database (since the error prevented us from doing so in the staff UI).
The error occurred when a staff member attempted to transfer the object
from one collection to another (in another repository) using the staff UI.
We don't plan on trying to replicate the error, but this was a very
informative process to go through.

Thanks to everyone on the list who so generously helped us troubleshoot
this issue!

Lisa
