Hi Mark, did you run [dspace]/bin/index-init during the fresh installation of your working instance?Seems as if you missed this. You can do it now and the bi*map's etc. should be created based on the browse configuration in your dspace.cfg.
Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Mark Ludwig schrieb:
We (in the Library Systems Group) built a DSpace instance as distributed with Postgress and Linux, and we were able to install in a day an build collections fairly quickly thereafter. Now we have spent months with our Central IT department trying to get a working instance of DSpace in their 'standard enterprise business continuity' environment which insists upon Solaris and Oracle on redundant locked-down servers for which we are given no access. I was able to package our collections and export them and the CIT technician was even able to import them into their DSpace instance. Our problem is that there seems to be nothing in the indexes. I've verified that they have run the media-filter and other cron jobs. The jobs seem to be running through normally. CIT finally gave me access to sql so I could see the database and there is nothing in the bi-item and other bi tables. I suspect they are somehow indexing into a different set of tables than we get to with XMLUI. I cannot get to the Oracle logs to see if the requests are getting to the database. All search box queries return zero results, normally, without error. This happens in the XMLUI and JSPUI. I discovered they had an invalid database connection string in the db.url parameter in dspace.cfg. It is set correctly now, but I am wondering if DSpace needs to be re-installed with the correct parameter. And I also don't understand if that string is bad in the executable, why we do not get errors. I would be interested (off-list) in how many of you use Oracle instead of Postgres and if you have any advice for troubleshooting this. Thanks, Mark
