How do you add a collection of Help documenation to an existing UGDoc installation?
Solution
Each Siemens product delivers its own documentation content installation package. These installations share the same "content.root" directory as defined in the 'plm_helpserver.properties' file, so they must be installed to the same directory. They also share the same Solr core directory for documentation
searches.
Each new collection installs new Solr indexes as "<content>.zip". These content installs will automatically upload their Solr search indices as part of the installation.
If it becomes necessary to manually upload the Solr search indices to your server, this can be done using the script
deploySolrIndex.bat
located in:
C:\Program Files\Siemens\PLM Documentation Server\solr_updates
The script calls the Java program 'xpsSolr.jar', which is also in the 'solr_updates' directory. This must be run on the system where the Siemens PLM Solr Server is running.
The script 'deploySolrIndex.bat' takes two mandatory arguments:
1. The .zip file to upload, for example: nx11-nx_help-en_US.zip
2. The URL for the Siemens PLM Solr Server, for example:
http://localhost:8283/solr
You must run the script in the directory that contains the xpsSolr.jar and the solr .zip files. For example:
C:\Program Files\Siemens\PLM Documentation Server\solr_updates
Example:
To upload the Solr search indexes for the NX 11 English documentation to a local server on port 8283 the commands would be:
cd C:\Program Files\Siemens\PLM Documentation Server\solr_updates
deploySolrIndex nx11-release_notes-en_US.zip http://localhost:8283/solr
deploySolrIndex nx11-nx_help-en_US.zip http://localhost:8283/solr
To test your installation, go to the Siemens Documentation on your web server and try a search.
