Hi Elias,

thanks for reporting back -- glad to hear you got there in the end!

It might be useful to note that in your particular case, just running index-discovery without any additional flags might have helped. When run without any flags, it finds items that "need" a reindex (ie, those that are eligible for indexing but don't exist in the index at all, or where the last modified date in the db is more recent than the last indexed field in the Solr index) and reindexes only those. That's assuming your tomcat memory problems came from the number of items to be processed in a full index (so every partial index might have gotten a bit further through the indexing before running out of memory).

cheers,
Andrea

Thanks a lot Andrea,

The curl lines were useful for troubleshooting ... at the end, it was a tomcat memory problem, which prevented the index-discovery process to complete.

Thanks for the reply ... I just tried that query and the missing items are set to "t" or true and every other field in the item table looks normal. I've also run index-discovery with -b -c -f -o then restarted tomcat and nothing has worked so far ...  it must be a discovery solr problem somewhere, any suggestions will be appreciated!

You could check whether these items are indexed in Solr, by querying Solr directly. Solr is locked down to localhost, so you'll have to do this on the machine that DSpace is running on. If 123456789/123 is the handle of one of your affected items, run eg
curl 'http://localhost:8080/solr/search/select?q=handle:123456789/123&rows=0&indent=true'

the result should include

<result name="response" numFound="1" start="0">

to indicate that the item is indexed. If you get numFound="0", the item isn't indexed.

You could also run

curl 'http://localhost:8080/solr/search/select?q=handle:123456789/123&rows=1&fl=read,discoverable&indent=true'

to check what user/s can find this item via Discovery (assuming you have access rights awareness turned on for Discovery -- that's the default). You're looking for a response like this:

    <arr name="read">
      <str>g0</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="discoverable">true</str></doc>

g0 means the group with id 0 (= anyone) can read/find this item. It's ok if there are additional values listed besides g0. If g0 isn't included in the "read" values, double-check the item's authorisation policies and make sure the Anonymous group has READ permission on the item. (Edit item -> Authorisation policies in XMLUI).

The "discoverable" value should match what's in the database.

If your items are indexed in Discovery, with read for g0, but are still not showing up when you search -- I'd personally try clearing the cocoon cache (assuming you're using XMLUI), then try another search.

If your items aren't indexed in Discovery, look for error messages in dspace.log while you're running index-discovery -- it could be that there are non-valid-for-XML characters in the metadata (or extracted fulltext) for those items. That would stop them from being indexed, but this should also be logged.

cheers,
Andrea
