The NX11 Documentation, the "Search" and the "Help on Context" is working 
properly.


Uninstall and reinstall the NX10 Documentation did not solve the problem.

Solution

re-index the NX10-HTML files using the batch "deploySolrIndex.bat" in the 
directory C:\Program Files\Siemens\PLM Documentation Server\Solr_updates

Setting up a new Siemens PLM documentation collection 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.

Notes and References

When the installation test would not be successful, restart the "Siemens PLM 
Documentation Server" and "Siemens PLM Solr Server" services.
