​​Reference: Article - CS36257

1. Stop all the Windchill index queues (log on as wcadmin)
   1. From Site > Utilities > Queue Management
2. Delete indexed objects from Solr Server
   1. Execute the following at Windchill server using a web browser (11.0 M030):

      http://<Solr_host>:8085/solr/wblib/update?stream.body=<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>&commit=true

      • Or execute from Solr Admin UI like below:
        http://<Solr_host>:<Solr port>/solr
        E.g:
        http://windchill.domain.name:8085/solr

3. Start all the Windchill index queues
4. Re-index data
   1. Start Windchill’s Bulk Index Tool
      1. Run command from Windchill Shell: windchill wt.index.BulkIndexTool
         1. Reset all entries back to "objects remaining" status:

• ​​DWG-files cannot be published in Windchill PDMLink

• This requires a Autocad-custom worker (pds-worker)

• Java path is changed / updated, so the start_acad.bat file is not finding the java.exe-file which it need:
  
  
  

1. Check agent.ini for the search-path for the AUTOCAD-worker, e.g.
   

   [worker3]
   distributed=false
   autostart=true
   host=selid-v-0014.kmtworld.com
   autobusystop=60
   autoidlestop=600
   starttime=30
   startfromlocal=FALSE
   autoerrorstop=true
   hosttype=nt
   remotepath=D:\worker_tmp
   exe=D:\ptc\pds-custom-worker\bin\start_acad.bat
   localpath=\\<workerhostname>\worker_tmp
   password=
   maxinstances=1
   shapetype=AUTOCAD
   prompt=
   username=
   port=601

2. ​​Update the start_acad.bat on <workerhostname> with search path to the new java.exe directory, e.g.:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_221\bin\java.exe" ..........

3. Republish failed dwg-files..

When searching "all types" as different users gives the following issue:
​​"The date string, "<name>%", has an invalid format. An error was detected at position 9 in the input string." 

​Due to preference "All Applicable Object Types Search" have all objects filled in by default in Windchill 11.0

1. Log on as wcadmin

2. Go to Organization --> Utilities --> Preference Management

3. Edit the preference: "All Applicable Object Types Search"
