Thanks Santi. I've cc-ed the list as this is probably a common question. The memory allocation can be manipulated in the scripts [1]. On Debian (Ubuntu) machines this manipulates the config in this file: /etc/default/tomcat7 and specifically the line: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx2g -Xms2g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xss256k" For production systems, if you have the ability to use more than 1 machine, I would recommend setting up SOLR on a separate machine. Theres a playbook for this here [2]. The biocache can point to a different SOLR server by changing the following property in /data/biocache/config/biocache-config.properties # The URL of SOLR services. In the case of embedded SOLR (no for production), this could be a directory path instead solr.home=http://localhost:8080/solr Cheers Dave Martin [1] https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install/blob/master/ansible/r… [2] https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install/blob/master/ansible/s… ________________________________________ From: Santiago Martinez de la Riva [sama(a)gbif.es] Sent: 09 October 2014 20:14 To: Martin, Dave (NRCA, Black Mountain) Subject: RE: [Ala-portal] A little doubt about SOLR/JVM configuration Hi Dave, Im sure that with you experience you can help me with this topic. Now I'm having this problem with solr and jvm: ERROR SolrCore org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error while processing facet fields: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space I think that I have to config JVM_ARG to assign more memory to the Java heap, but if I'm executing JAVA in a VM with 32 GB and SOLR is consuming more or less 14GB with 10 millions of records. What do you recommend me to assign to Java Heap. Export JVM_ARGS="-Xmx YYYY m -XX:MaxPermSize= ZZZZ m" Thanks in advance, Santi.

ProviderCode Maps: Indexing dataset with several collection code
by Santiago Martinez de la Riva 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Dear all, I have some datasets which have several collection code, the question is: how can i do to create the right relationship between the dataset, the collection and the instituttion through the ProviderCodes Map, if the dataset has 2 or more collection code?? e.g: If the dataset has these collection codes: cof and co_cof. I create the provider code: cof co_cof or cof, co_cof after this I create the providerCode Map between the institution and the colecction, and I select the codes, and I don't select the checkbox "Exact". But when I process and index again the dataset, I don't get that this process indexes all the records that dataset has. Could you help please? Cheers, Santi. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Santiago Martínez de la Riva GBIF.ES, Unidad de Coordinación Tel. +34 91 4203017 x 273 Real Jardín Botánico - CSIC Fax +34 91 429 2405 Plaza de Murillo, 2 sama(a)gbif.es 28014 Madrid, Spain www.gbif.es

Crowdin project: translations of collectory module.
by Santiago Martinez de la Riva 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Hi all, I forgot to tell that we finished to translate the message.properties file of collectory module in the crowdin platform two weeks ago. https://crowdin.com/project/ala-i18n/es-ES I have to say that not all of this translations are exactly right becouse when you load the message properties file in the collectory module you need to move the position of some message variables. This is because sometimes the position of the variables are not the same in both language, in this case in spanish and english, and I think that this issue will occur in other languages.
