    New bib records not being Word-indexed

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Problem Symptoms:
    Though newly-loaded bib records are retrievable in the Browse index and have "HANDLING DOC NO" entries in the $data_scratch run_e_01 log, even after several hours they are not retrievable in the Word indexes.

    Cause:
    Delay in processing of z07a records by the ue_01_word_parallel process.

    Resolution:
    1. Do the following to see how many records are in the queues:

    > s+ xxx01
    SQL> select count(*) from z07;
    SQL> select count(*) from z07a;

    2. If the z07 count is low but the z07a count is high, that means that there are records which have been otherwise indexed -- but are still awaiting Word-indexing.

    3. To see if a particular record is in the z07 queue, awaiting indexing:

    SQL> select z07_sequence from z07 where z07_rec_key = '001234567';

    And, for the z07a queue:

    SQL> select z07a_rec_key from z07a where z07a_rec_key like '%001234567';

    [Note: the last 9 bytes of the z07a_rec_key are the bib doc number.]

    Additional Information

    Article 000003448 ("ue_01 continuously processing same records") describes why a particular bib record may have multiple z07a records.
