[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Containers not being associated with their resources

Also, if you have access to the Solr web interface, check whether there 
is a green tick next to "Current" in the core admin for the Solr core 
your ArchivesSpace system is using.


If not, then you could try doubling 
AppConfig[:indexer_solr_timeout_seconds]) in config.rb, restarting 
ArchivesSpace, and running a soft re-index. We found, as we added more 
records, the time it took for Solr to commit in-memory changes to 
storage at the end of a re-index exceeded the time allowed by 
ArchivesSpace, so it got stuck in a loop. However, we only have one 
repository, so I don't what the effect might be when there are multiple.


Andrew.
