AEM 6.0 with Solr

[Former Community Member]

I configured AEM to use a single remote Solr instance for fulltext indexing like it is documented:

Add a node /oak:index/solrIdx with properties type=solr async=async   (Recommended) reindex=true

It does create the index and I can search using the crxde query tool. However, there seem to be a problem with access rights. I cannot access e.g. the siteadmin anymore. On the (old) welcome screen the links are disabled or not shown at all.

As soon as I delete the solr oak:QueryIndexDefinition node. Everything works fine again.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

As mentioned in the article that Observer is not always cluster aware , is OOTB indexing service for Solr(embedded/remote) cluster aware as its implementing the Observer at JCR level. Is my understanding correct ?

Thanks for your reply. But my question is related to the out-of-the-box support of Solr as search engine that comes with AEM 6.0. The article you mentioned describes alternative ways, aimed, I guess, for earlier versions of CQ.

Hi

Try reading the Solr part of this page: http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/deploy/upgrade/queries-and-indexing.html
It has been updated this morning.

What you're describing didn't happen on a local instance when we've tried the embedded Solr option and it didn't happen with a remote instance either.
Although the AEM instance was hanging if the remote Solr wasn't started.
So make sure that the remote Solr is up and running. You can check the health of the Solr instance at http://localhost:8983/solr/#/

If you still have troubles, you should fill a support ticket.
