NX SPLM Documentation Server 3.0 doesn't show index on reuse library

Summary


Details

We have upgraded the Documentation server from version 1.0 to version 2.x (or 3.0) and now we cannot use the Reuse Library Indexer any more.


We have set the Customer Default setting for the Reuse library indexer to http://ServerName:8283/solr/NXReuse. But this does not work.


It does work when the entry is set to http://localhost:8283/solr/NXReuse on the same machine. 



Solution

Due to security reasons we have changed a registry setting in the Documentation server version 2.0 and later.


Please use caution solving this issue. First of all you need to edit the registry. Be sure you know what you are doing and create a backup of your registry first. 
Secondly, changing the settings, might harm your security.


We have protected the Solr server because it is a security flaw to allow open access to it, as anyone can get at the management console and do all sorts of damage. 
 
If you want to open it up, you take on the risk, and then must change the registry (assuming you use Windows). 
 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\Siemens PLM Solr Server\Parameters\Java 
 
Edit the Options parameter and change 
-Djetty.host=127.0.0.1 
to 
-Djetty.host=0.0.0.0

Do note that the default port for the doc server has changed from 8181 to 8282, since version 2.0, and also since this version solr has its own port 8283. So please first check the ports you are using.
