POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Update Solr deployment to add solr.PingRequestHandler

Hot fix Y97002 updates the sample solrconfig.xml file found in <SASHome>/SASEnterpriseCaseManagementMidTier/6.3/deploy/sample/Solr/scripts/prepareSolr/EntCaseMgmtCollection/. This solrconfig.xml file is normally copied to the Solr installation via the “Installing Global Search” steps in the ECM Admin Guide (Chapter 4 Post-installation Requirements and Tasks).

If you have already followed the “Installing Global Search” steps, you will need to manually update the solrconfig.xml file in your Solr installation to add the same changes to it that the hot fix made to the sample. If you followed the suggested Solr installation location in the Admin Guide, the directory where you must make changes to the solrconfig.xml file will be:

Windows: \solr-4.7.2\ecm\solr\EntCaseMgmtCollection\conf
Linux: /usr/local/solr-4.7.2/ecm/solr/EntCaseMgmtCollection/conf
Follow the manual steps below:
  1. Update the solrconfig.xml file in your Solr installation. The exact steps you need to follow depend on whether you have made any customizations to solrconfig.xml in your Solr installation.

    1. If you have not made any changes to solrconfig.xml after following the “Installing Global Search” steps: Copy the updated solrconfig.xml from the <SASHome>/SASEnterpriseCaseManagementMidTier/6.3/deploy/sample/Solr/scripts/prepareSolr/EntCaseMgmtCollection/ directory to the ecm/solr/EntCaseMgmtCollection/conf directory of the Solr installation.

    2. If you made custom changes to the solrconfig.xml file after following the “Installing Global Search” steps:

      Edit solrconfig.xml in the ecm/solr/EntCaseMgmtCollection/conf directory of the Solr installation to add the solr.PingRequestHandler:

      <!-- ping/healthcheck --> <requestHandler name="/admin/ping" class="solr.PingRequestHandler"> <lst name="invariants"> <str name="q">solrpingquery</str> </lst> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="echoParams">all</str> </lst> <!-- An optional feature of the PingRequestHandler is to configure the handler with a "healthcheckFile" which can be used to enable/disable the PingRequestHandler. relative paths are resolved against the data dir --> <!-- <str name="healthcheckFile">server-enabled.txt</str> --> </requestHandler>

      This can appear anywhere in the file between the <config> and </config> tags, as long as it is not embedded in any other tag or comment. The suggested place to put it is with the other “admin” request handlers. While the exact line numbers in your customized solrconfig.xml may be different from the line numbers below, the following is provided to help you locate the suggested location for the new lines. In the original solrconfig.xml file delivered with ECM 6.3_M1, there is a <requestHandler> tag with the name “/admin/” starting at line 937:

      <requestHandler name="/admin/" class="solr.admin.AdminHandlers"/>

      This is followed by several lines of comments, which end at line 959:

      <!-- <requestHandler name="/admin/file" class="solr.admin.ShowFileRequestHandler" > <lst name="invariants"> <str name="hidden">synonyms.txt</str> <str name="hidden">anotherfile.txt</str> </lst> </requestHandler> -->

      Add the new solr.PingRequestHandler XML stanza (above) after these comment lines, at line 961 in the original file.

    3. Follow the Admin Guide steps to restart Solr.
