Solr Apache API on port 8983

There is currently a fix for customers who are able to access the Solr Apache API admin page from a workstation. Download EM version 21.12.2 and install it.

If you are still able to access the Solr Apache API admin page on a workstation that is not the local NVR hitting port 8983, it is because they have turned off the Windows Firewall.

They will need to block access to port 8983 in whatever firewall software they are using.

Enterprise Manager Updating Java Version in Solr

Issue

Enterprise Manager uses a package called Solr which in turn uses Java.  Currently, we do not offer an update path for Solr that will update the Java version.  The following instructions can be used if the need arises were Java needs to be updated.  

Resolution

Windows 64-bit

  • Assumes EM is installed at C:\program files\exacqVision\EnterpriseManager for Windows 64 bit
  • Download the 64 bit JRE for Windows from the Oracle website
  • Shut down all enterprise manager services
  • Shut down solrApache service
  • Shut down solrJetty service
  • Rename the existing java folder to java.old inside C:\Program Files\exacqVision\EnterpriseManager\apache_solr\
  • cd to the path where the jre.exe is located
  • Execute the following command

jre-8u231-windows-x64.exe /s INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\exacqVision\EnterpriseManager\apache_solr\java" STATIC=1

  • This command does not block until installation is complete, but if you cd to the install dir, you will notice the new java folder getting created, and new JRE installed to it.
  • There is no accurate way to determine whether installation has completed, so please check if the jre.exe process is running in task manager.
  • Once the installation is complete, start all the enterprise manager services, solrApache and solrJetty.
  • Perform a sanity check of the installation by accessing the Solr home page and making sure it loads,  and is able to query successfully with pre-existing data.
  • Remove the renamed folder java.old
