SUNScholar/Indexes

Back to Customisation

Introduction
DSpace has two indexes, namely the browse and the search indexes.

These indexes were previously stored in the SQL database but are now available via the SOLR database.

The search and browse indexes available via the SOLR database is now called the "Discovery" service.

Please Note:
If during an upgrade you decide to use the SOLR database to deliver the indexes, then you need to purge the old SQL database indexes.

Requirements
Before attempting setup please make sure the following are correct:
 * 1) Tomcat is listening on TCP port 80.
 * 2) The SOLR webapp is correctly published.
