This would explain the behaviour you are seeing - since SOLR indexing is asynchronous you may not immediately find a newly created site via findSites.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Nov 2016 14:39:44 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/is-there-any-difference-between-siteservice-methods-listsites/m-p/287060#M240190 afaust 2016-11-14T14:39:44Z
