Progress on rebuilding indexes

[rcm01]

Using Community 3.4d.

I have a corrupted instance and need to rebuild the lucene indexes. I found a post that suggested checking the file alfresco.log for the status of the rebuild. I can't find a file called alfresco.log. Any suggestions where I can check the progress?

[rcm01]

I found what I think is the right log, Alfresco\tomcat\logs\stdout_20110730.log

Here's the last two entries and this doesn't look good to me……does anyone have any ideas about this?

22:07:33,558  INFO  [node.index.FullIndexRecoveryComponent] Index recovery started: 1,403,281 transactions.
Exception in thread "Thread-14" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

We are doing an evaluation of this product and so far its less than stellar. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

How much heap does it have?
Is there a full stack trace?
Have you any particularly large transactions or lareg documents that are being converted in memory.

There are a few options/potential issues depending on the cause here.
There are several options that you would normally tweak for larger repositories.

You would be better evaluating an enterprise trial.

Hi,

It also happened to me and it was because I left the default configuration of memory of the JVM (i.e. 64 M), and did multiples import tasks of large zip files.  To recover the service, I started modifyng the JAVA_OPTS variable in the ./tomcat/bin/catalina.sh file (e.g. add the line JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx512m" at the beginning of the file) <however i don't know if it was really necessary to started up alfresco again>, and then i set ./tomcat/temp/catalina.pid to the process id that was assigned to alfresco before it crashed.

Then I could stop Alfresco, and start it again without problems, but now I have to check if the indexes are ok.
