Project:Deployment of Math Search

The deployment of MathSearch components is currently tricky and has some pitfalls.

This page is to collect information to mitigate these.

Corrupted index files

Updating the indices causes logs on the formulasearch container like these:

avax.xml.xquery.XQException:
BXCE001 - Stopped at ., 588/76:
[XUDY0027] Insert target is an empty sequence.
at com.formulasearchengine.mathosphere.basex.Client.updateFormula(Client.java:448)
at org.citeplag.domain.MathUpdate.run(MathUpdate.java:60)
at org.citeplag.controller.BaseXController.update(BaseXController.java:212)

This indicates that the current xml-index database is non-existant or corrupted.

Here are steps to solve the issue at the moment.

• Stop formulasearch container to prevent modication of xml-files in database
• Go in the shell of formulasearch(!) container
• Download valid initial xml-harvest files with wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/u3umtxxnshkfm0t/math000000000000_initial.xml

• Remove "_initial"-suffix for the file
• chmod ugo+rw for the xml file
• Restart formulasearch container
