When the Search Interface to SAS Content feeds content to the indexing server, a failure can occur, generating the following error:

 com.sas.svcs.search.client.IndexServiceException: Encountered problem while Indexing content to IR Studio Indexing Server.

When this failure occurs, the following errors appear in the SASSearchService.log file, which resides in SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/Logs/SASServer12_1:

com.sas.svcs.search.dao.irstudio.IRStudioIndexDao - Exception encountered while preparing XML from extracted datajava.lang.NullPointerException
com.sas.svcs.search.dao.irstudio.IRStudioIndexDao - Some objects might have not been indexed due to malformed XML
com.sas.svcs.search.impl.SearchIndexServiceImpl - Failed to index the records with irstudio
com.sas.svcs.search.impl.SearchIndexServiceImpl - Encountered problem while Indexing content to IR Studio Indexing Server.

Some of the required fields are missing from the SAS^® Information Retrieval Studio schema. Therefore, its content is not searchable. If a few fields are missing from the configuration of the indexing server for SAS Information Retrieval Studio, the content of those fields are neither indexed nor available in a response. In this scenario, it is important to ensure that the indexing server is reconfigured.

To reconfigure the schema, follow these steps:

1. Stop the Search Interface to SAS Content web application, as follows, dependent on your operating environment:
   

   UNIX operating environments: Submit the following command:

   SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer12_1/bin>$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh stop

   Microsoft Windows operating environments: Stop the SASServer12_1 web application service.



2. Stop the SAS Information Retrieval Studio server by submitting the following command:
   

   Under UNIX: Submit the following command:

   SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Applications/SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS>./IRStudio.sh stop

   Under Windows: Stop the SAS Information Retrieval Studio service.



3. Edit the pipeline-server.db file by replacing S'BIRD' with S'BIRD1'. The pipeline-server.db file is located in the following directories:
   
   
   • Under UNIX: SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Applications/SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS/work/
   
   
   • Under Windows: SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\Applications\SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS\work\


4. Delete ALL of the files in the index directory. The index directory resides in the following locations:
   

   Under UNIX: SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Applications/SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS/work/index

   Under Windows: SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\Applications\SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS\work\index

5. Restart the SAS Information Retrieval Studio server, as follows:
   

   Under UNIX: Submit the following command:

   SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Applications/SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS>./IRStudio.sh start

   Under Windows: Start the SAS Information Retrieval Studio service.



6. Start the Search Interface to SAS Content web application, as follows:
   

   Under UNIX: Submit the following command:

   SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer12_1/bin>$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh start

   Under Windows: Start the SASServer12_1 web application service.
