Aspect and Advanced search

livier — Thu, 19 Jul 2018 06:15:13 GMT

Hi,I've created an apsect with 3 properties.For each 3 properties I add : <index enabled="true"> <atomic>true</atomic> <stored>false</stored> <tokenised>false</tokenised>

Dumb question, but just to make sure: Did you actually apply / add the aspect to any document / node in the Alfresco Repository?

Since you have specified text properties as tokenised "false", you will only be able to match values when your search input matches the existing metadata values from the beginning, and without applying any stemming / fuzzy matching. Tokenised "false" is useful primarily for exact identifiers, like serial numbers / IDs. For other metadata you may want to default to "both" in order to support partial matching.

Thanks for your answer

I did apply aspects and set the properties to 3-4 documents.

To be honest I didn't really know what tokenised is used for, so thank you for these informations
I've just followed the sample of ACME content type and I noticed that it is used.

To be sure: How did you search ?

You mentioned "Advanced Search", do you expect to see your custom ACME properties in Advanced Search form ? Or do you expect to see those properties as filters in faceted search ? Did you configure those facets ?

If you do nothing, try using @acme:documentId:"value" syntax directly in the search field .

In my share-config-custom.xml file:

I add a

<form id="search"></form> in which I specify the properties of my custom model type and my aspect

I add this form in the <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="AdvancedSearch" replace="true">

I've started all over.

I've modified the ACME model type and the share-config-custom.xml :

I've just modified the namespace --> test ok when I add a document and set properties from custom content and aspect. I run an advanced search on a custom model property and on an aspect property : OK
I've modified the aspect's property --> it used to be a list, I've changed it in a text field. I've added two more text field properties --> test ok when I add a document and set properties from custom content and aspect. I run an advanced search on a custom model property and on the aspect properties : OK
I've modfied the custom model property : it used to be a text field, I've changed it in a list --> test KO when I run an advanced search on this custom model property.

Here are my custom models

<type name="my:doc">
        <title>Document </title>
            <parent>cm:content</parent>
     <properties />
     <mandatory-aspects>
                <aspect>cm:generalclassifiable</aspect>
      </mandatory-aspects>
   </type>

<type name="my:IT">
            <title>Documents IT</title>
            <parent>my:doc</parent>
            <properties>
                <property name="my:ITservice">
                    <title>Document Identification Number</title>
                    <type>d:text</type>
                    <index enabled="true">

                    </index>
                    <constraints>
                        <constraint ref="my:listITservice"/>
                    </constraints>

                <aspect>my:identificationAgent</aspect>
            </mandatory-aspects>
       </type>

Here is my aspect

In my maven environnement, when I use advanced search on a custom model type, I get this type of message :

For the last error message : for my tests, the documents weren't uploaded in document library ([ALF-21709] Advanced Search doesn't show results - Alfresco JIRA )

Hi:

Do you see some warning or error logs in SOLR logs (solr.log) ? May your model definition be registered in an older version ? Did you try a full reindex ?

Thanks for your answer but during the week end I've restarted from the begining and it looks like it works
But it's weird because on my maven environment, I get 0 result while using advanced search on my custom properties but when I deploy on my server, I get restults !

When I deploy my package (./apply_amps.sh) I get some errors in the catalina.out file that I don't understand :

org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig processAnnotationsJar
GRAVE: contextConfig.jarFile
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /app/alfresco-community/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/ XXXXXXX

And the XXXXXXX is for a lot of jar files (more than an hundred) such as : proton-j-0.7.jar , xpp3_min-1.1.4c.jar, spring-social-facebook-web-1.1.1.RELEASE.jar, spring-security-core-3.1.7.RELEASE.jar, gdata-docs-meta-3.0-1.47.1.jar, javax.mail-1.5.5.jar, camel-jackson-2.13.2.jar, cglib-2.2.jar, cxf-rt-frontend-simple-3.0.10.jar, spring-surf-core-6.12.jar ....

Could you tell me why do I get those messages ?

Moreover, could you please tell me the best practices for deploying custom model : I will certainly have to change my custom model to add types, aspects or properties.

How do I apply the evolutions of my custom model on my "production" server ? Do I just get amps files from maven and deploy them ? Shoud I desinstall my first amps before deploying the new ones ? How does the application manage it ? What about the content which use the "old" custom model ? Should I full reindex ? IWhy can I not see my custom model from amps in the model manager ?

What did you mean by "May your model definition be registered in an older version" ?

I'm sorry but I'm totally newbie

Thanks again for your help

Hi:

I link some of the best practices on content models (this tutorial by Jeff is actually one of the best resources available on content models):

Working With Custom Content Types in Alfresco | ECMArchitect | Alfresco Developer Tutorials

Regarding to other questions, I will try some guidelines:

How do I apply the evolutions of my custom model on my "production" server ?

> Bootstrap content models (via AMPs or JAR files) are the recommended ways, using incremental changes on your existing models (for example using aspects). You have to take account that only incremental changes are allowed when updating content models. If you try to do something non incremental, the model will not be updated (so the old model will be registered). In that case you should see the corresponding warnings in SOLR logs. You can use Dictionary Service (in the above links) or via CMIS Workbench for checking the current version of your content model. Under SOLR directories you can also find cached the alfresco content models definitions.

Do I just get amps files from maven and deploy them ?

> Yes.

Should I desinstall my first amps before deploying the new ones ?

> No.

What about the content which use the "old" custom model ?

> If you are adding new aspects or properties in your content model update, you should add the corresponding new metadata via CMIS or JS API.

Should I full reindex ?

> This is not really necessary.

Why can I not see my custom model from amps in the model manager ?

> You will only see those models imported or created via Alfresco Share, you can not see a AMP-based content model.

Thank you so much for your help. I took a look at your zylk blog and found multiple interesting articles.

Could you tell me more about this answer :

What about the content which use the "old" custom model ?
> If you are adding new aspects or properties in your content model update, you should add the corresponding new metadata via CMIS or JS API.

Do I have to add the new metadata even if I consider that it doesn't matter if the old content doesn't need the new properties ?

And do you have any idea about the error message I get while deploying my amps ?

org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig processAnnotationsJar
GRAVE: contextConfig.jarFile
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /app/alfresco-community/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/ XXXXXXX

Thanks in advance

Re: Aspect and Advanced search

cesarista — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 09:14:52 GMT

Hi:

Regarding the first question, you should add new aspects in old content, only if applies (for example, if you need new metadata information or if your new aspect is needed in some part of your app lifecycle).

Rearding the second one, not able to see more than it seems some kind of error on the maven / project setup. Maybe if you try Jeff's tutorial from zero, step by step, you will avoid these errors.

Regards.

Have you found a solution? If yes can you share the code you use to filter by aspect the results on the advanced search page?

Please create new topics instead of jumping into to almost 3 year old inactive threads. People looking for questions to answer will likely not check threads which already have active engagement by other people without realising that those were from "ancient" history. It is also possible that the original poster is no longer active on this platform after all this time, so you may not even get any feedback from them this way.
