AEM Configuration with Embedded Solr

Hello,

Can someone let me know where I can find a more detailed documentation to Configuring AEM 6.x with an embedded SOLR server.

I have looked at the instructions in https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/aem/6-0/deploy/upgrade/queries-and-indexing.html on this subject, but I cannot find more information on setting 'Solr home directory', 'Solr Core name' etc under Configuration Manager/...EmbeddedSolrServerConfigurationProvider.

Also, how can I verify if the embedded Solr server is up and running?

Thanks

Ash_Am

    This is the AEM docs on this subject: 

    You can configure the embedded Solr server by:

    • Going to the Web Console at http://serveraddress:4502/system/console/configMgr

    • Search for "Oak Solr server provider".

    • Press the edit button and in the following window set the server type to Embedded Solr in the drop-down list.

    • Next, edit "Oak Solr embedded server configuration" and create a configuration. For more info on the configuration options, please visit the Apache Solr website.

      NOTE

       

       

      The Solr home directory (solr.home.path) configuration will look for a folder with the same name in the AEM installation folder.

       

    • Open CRXDE and login as Admin.

    • Add a node called solrlndex of type oak:QueryIndexDefinition under oak:index with the following properties:

      • type:solr (of type String)
      • async:async (of type String)
      • reindex:true (of type Boolean)

    • Save the changes.

     

    As specified in the above link.

        Thanks for replying.

        This is the guide I had been referring to. I would like to find out what parameters to enter in Oak Solr embedded server configuration. Specifically in the following fields - 'Solr home directory','Solr Core name' and 'Configuration Binding'.

        Once done, how do I verify that Solr is up and running?

        Thanks.

        I have logged a bug against the AEM docs. These types of questions should be addressed in the docs. 

        I am getting people Adobe experienced with this to help you.

        Hi,

        I am wondering, why you want to use the solr. As far as I was told, the embedded solr is only suitable for development setups. So before you plan to use solr, please validate with Daycare support.

        The usecases, where using solr offers a real benefit are quite rare.

        kind regards,
        Jörg
