Quick newbie question, folks. Do the zebra_daemon and/or zebraqueue_daemon need to be running or not when doing a reloading of the biblios ? How about when reindexing them? Sorry, but I'm brain-dead today, and can use all the help I can get. Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lculber@mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.

It depends what exactly one means by "a reloading of the biblios" but I'd expect zebra_daemon would need to be running. zebraqueue_daemon is deprecated in favour of the cronjob, but needs to be running if you still use it. zebra_daemon (think of it as the index-keeper) needs to be running to receive a reindexing request. I don't think zebraqueue_daemon would, but I could be wrong.

As far as I can understand, zebra-daemon just runs the zebraidx server that serves as a front-end for our database. The zebraqueue script or the cron job running rebuild_zebra is responsible of applying the updates to the database. What I think she's asking is if we need to shut {zebra|zebraqueue}-daemon run while we do a full reindex of the database (that done with the '-r' switch). Which I'm not sure :-D To+

I just tried to reply to this and it bounced. Perhaps this message will get through. We reloaded all our bibliographic data several times without stopping anything. Just ran rebuild_zebra -r, and everything worked. But we didn't use zebraqueue, so I don't know about that case.

Yes, the zebra_daemon is required. You don't need the zebraqueue, it has been deprecated. You need to have the zebra_daemon up and then you can call the corresponding cron task: $KOHA_CRON_PATH/../migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z for instance. This will take the data from your database and feed it to zebra for re-indexing. After the re-indexing is complete you will be able to search in koha (since most of the searches take place in zebra).
