We recently encountered an error at a customer’s site. Their Alfresco environment was behaving strangely.Sometimes the search results worked, and sometimes they did not get the expected results. The context The environment is composed of 2 Alfresco7 nodes in cluster and 2 Solr 6.6 nodes load balanced (in active-active mode). Sometimes the customer isn’t able to retrieve the document he…
It’s a pretty common (and should be known) issue in Alfresco but even to this day, it still happens that enterprises contact us because of documents that cannot be found. The installation in question is a docker-compose for Alfresco Community 23.4, managed by the customer directly. Only some slight customizations were done but it’s a pretty out-of-the-box setup for the…
If you are using Self-Signed SSL Certificates and recently updated your Google Chrome / Edge browser, you might have come across a new kind of error, i.e: “ERR_SSL_KEY_USAGE_INCOMPATIBLE”. In my case, it happened a few months ago on an Alfresco installation, and more specifically the Apache Solr URL. Since this URL is mostly used/accessible by Administrators, there is not much…
At a customer, I recently had a case where a mass-import job was executed on an interface that, in the background, uses Alfresco for document and metadata storage. From the point of view of the interface team, there was no problem as documents were properly being created in Alfresco (although performance wasn’t exceptional). However, after some time, our monitoring started…
I wrote this blog in conjunction with the one about the Solr Sharding – Concepts & Methods a year ago and it was 95% completed but then I had other stuff to do and just forgot I didn’t publish it. It might be a little bit late but well, better late than never… It will complete the overview I wanted…
A few weeks ago, I published a series of blog on the Alfresco Clustering, including Solr Sharding. At that time, I planned to first explain what is really the Solr Sharding, what are the different concepts and methods around it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the time to write this blog so I had to post the one related to Solr…
In previous blogs, I talked about some basis and presented some possible architectures for Alfresco, I talked about the Clustering setup for the Alfresco Repository, the Alfresco Share and for ActiveMQ. I also setup an Apache HTTPD as a Load Balancer. In this one, I will talk about the last layer that I wanted to present, which is Solr and…
Today is the second day of the Alfresco DevCon 2018 and therefore yes, it is already over, unfortunately. In this blog, I will be continuing my previous one with sessions I attended on the afternoon of the day-1 as well as day-2. There were too many interesting sessions and I don’t really have the time to talk about all of…
Here we are, the Alfresco DevCon 2018 day-1 is over (well except for the social party)! It’s been already 2 years I attended my last Alfresco event (BeeCon 2016, first of its name (organized by the Order of the Bee)) because I wasn’t able to attend the second BeeCon (2017) since it happened on the exact dates of our internal…
