URL Transformations
When transforming a URL from a URL without a context path to one with a context path in custom code, you should now also add the SEO path to the updated URL. This kind of logic is often used in custom implementations of the MetaDataProvider
interface.
Update your Solr Configuration
In R36, the Solr version has been upgraded to version 8.11.1, therefore you must make the following changes:
In solrconfig.xml
, change the declaration:
<luceneMatchVersion>6.6.6</luceneMatchVersion>
to
<luceneMatchVersion>8.11.1</luceneMatchVersion>
The eDismax query parser parameter lowercaseOperators
now defaults to false
if the luceneMatchVersion
in solrconfig.xml
is 7.0.0 or above, therefore you must set the lowercaseOperators
parameter explicitly to true
:
<bool name="lowercaseOperators">true</bool>
The following spatial-related fields have been removed:
LatLonType
GeoHashField
SpatialVectorFieldType
SpatialTermQueryPrefixTreeFieldType
Choose one of these field types instead:
LatLonPointSpatialField
SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeField
RptWithGeometrySpatialField
Extra Steps
- Stop Tomcat if it is running.
- Remove the directory
<webmanager-root>/work/searchengine
. - If you have a custom
solrconfig.xml
, you need to modify it — open it in a text editor. - Save your custom
solrconfig.xml
. - Start Tomcat.
- Log in to XperienCentral.
Real-time indexing
If you use real-time indexing (the XperienCentral Realtime Indexing reusable):
- Navigate to Configuration > Realtime Indexing.
- Select the "Indexing" tab.
- Select all the websites that you want to index in the top part of the panel.
- Click [Index selected items].
No real-time indexing
If you do not use real-time indexing (the XperienCentral Realtime Indexing reusable):
- Open the Setup Tool.
- Select the Search Tools tab.
- Click [Index] in the "INDEX URL" section.
Rebuild the Content Index
Due to a change in the Search functionality, you must rebuild the content index. To do so, manually remove the <webmanager-root>/work/contentindex
directory after the upgrade and allow it to be regenerated after restarting XperienCentral. Selecting contentindex_queue_empty_reindex
in the General tab of the Setup Tool is not sufficient.
