Hi Don and other ArchivesSpace Users;

Referring to the page Don suggested:

ArchivesSpace Reindexer plugin
This plugin can be used in two ways:
1.    On system startup to initiate a reindex
2.    Via the api to trigger a reindex
TODO: consider running as a job and making it available that way too.
On startup
*         Set AppConfig[:reindex_on_startup] = true in config.rb
*         Restart ArchivesSpace
Via the api
curl -H "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: $SESSION" -X POST http://localhost:4567/plugins/reindex

We have set "AppConfig[:reindex_on_startup] = true" in config.rb before the last restart and still have "phantom" records.
Looking at the API call, which port should be used here? The port for the External Solr Index, the one specified, or something else?
We would also like to know the cause of the "phantom" records. Does it have something to do with the setup-database.sh script?
By the way, when running the check_index.sh script in Linux it generates an error. Should there be a new script for External Solr?

I know there are a lot of questions here and we would appreciate your help in getting answers to all of them.

Thank you again!

Greg,



One easy way to rebuild the index is to install the Lyrasis reindexer

plugin: https://github.com/lyrasis/aspace-reindexer. Once installed, you

can either have it rebuild the index via the startup config or by

the endpoint that the plugin adds to the API. We recently migrated from

3.0.2 to 3.2.0 and everything went smoothly for us. Once the new version of

Aspace was running we hit the endpoint and the database rebuilt.

Subject: Phantom records post-migration to version 3.2.0

Hello ASpace Users;

We just upgraded from ArchivesSpace version 2.7.1 to version 3.2.0 and now have "phantom" records in Resources and Subjects. By phantom I mean records show up in ASpace, but are not in the database and when trying to view the record returns:

[cid:image001.png at 01D8AD6E.CDB2E210]

As part of this upgrade on our Test machine  we:

  *   Started using External Solr as opposed to Internal
  *   Purged the contents of the following directories, but did not delete the directories:
     *   /apps/archivesspace/data/indexer_pui_state
     *   /apps/archivesspace/data/indexer_state
     *   /apps/archivesspace/data/tmp
  *   Kept, but moved /apps/archivesspace/data/solr_backups  to  /apps/archivesspace/data/old_solr_backups; and created a new /apps/archivesspace/data/solr_backups  directory
  *   Refreshed our Test MySQL database from our v2.7.1 Prod version and ran the setup-database.sh script to convert to v3.2.0. We are running MySQL version 8.

This left the following directory structure under the data directory:

External Solr was installed on the same Linux server as ArchivesSpace. We installed solr-8.10.0, but see that a newer version solr-8.11.2 is available. Should we be using the newer version? How can we clear the External Solr index in order to rebuild it?

What needs to be done to eliminate these phantom records? We are assuming it is something left over from the prior version.

Please advise or let us know if you need more information.

Thank you.
