I'm indexing data from a XML file, with many fields like these declared in DataImportHandler's dataconfig.xml :
<field column="pos_A" xpath="/positions/pos_A/#pos" />
<field column="pos_B" xpath="/positions/pos_B/#pos" />
<field column="pos_C" xpath="/positions/pos_C/#pos" />
...
And one matching dynamicField declaration in schema.xml :
<dynamicField name="pos_*" type="sint" indexed="true" stored="true" />
I'm wondering if it's possible to use a transformer to dynamically generate the field names in dataconfig.xml, and have a single line, kinda like :
<field column="pos_{$1}" xpath="/positions/pos_(*)/#pos" />
(pardon my xpath and regex syntax :)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3251 The latest release claims that you can dynamically add fields to the schema. I tried to find documentation for the public interface, but not much luck so far.

SOLR-4658: In preparation for REST API requests that can modify the schema,
126 a "managed schema" is introduced.
127 Add '<schemaFactory class="ManagedSchemaFactory" mutable="true"/>' to solrconfig.xml
128 in order to use it, and to enable schema modifications via REST API requests.

i am new to solr and django,i am working on implimenting search on a party hall venue search website though i have not worked on the website part just implimenting solr for the search i have indexed party hall venue information in solr with following fields
<field name="id" type="int" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" />
<field name="title" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" />
<field name="slug" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" />
<field name="description" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="location" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="city" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="area" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="featured" type="boolean" indexed="true" stored="true" />
<field name="facilities" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />
<field name="type_of_venue" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />...
there are many other fields which are used only for display of data on results page but only these fields are used to query data
on my website i have a search bar where user can enter any search term and then i search it against title,description,location,facilities
now i did enough reading on how to break down the search terms entered by user to identify which field to find it in so that i can have different template view to show the found matches but couldn't find any technique that will work with solr.
please can anyone suggest me any pre search text processing techniques to make it simpler to generate query to search in solr
thanks in advance
If you index your data carefully (read on examples) there is an easy (but not the best!) way to do this.
Lets say here are your party hall documents
1) party hall - "abc party hall", location - "san jose"
2) party hall - "xyz party hall", location - "san francisco"
3) party hall - "pqr party hall", location - "paris"
4) party hall - "best party hall", location - "san jose"
Lets say your user types "best party hall in san jose" in search bar, ideally you should return #4, 1, right?
You can certainly pre-process your query (complex NLP) to extract potential location data to be used for location field in your query.
For a moment lets take brute-force method here, lets use boolean query and search your full query with all important fields as-is
party_hall: "best party hall in san jose" AND location: "best party hall in san jose"
If you've indexed your data properly (as given in example documents above) you will get best results as expected.
party hall query will not have "san jose" so it will consider document with "best party hall", similarly location field will filter document with "san jose" so technically you should get your best matched documents #4,1. You can use "OR" instead of "AND" but you will get more matched documents (but rank sorting will still be accurate and expected)
Try it with your use case and see if it helps!
p.s - this will work if you use any tokenizer based analyzer like StandardAnalyzer (will not work for KeywordAnalyzer)
I'm fairly new to SharePoint 2010, I've had some experience with 2007 but only debugging and fixing some small bug.
Assuming that i create a new solution for SP 2010 in VS2010 and i add a feature to create some list definitions and also some list instances of those list definition templates. These are all declared through Schema.xml =>
I deploy successfully and add a few items to my new lists.
Now i want to add a few extra columns (fields) to my lists, how will i deploy them?
I don't want to create them in code, i would like to have a up to date solution that with every new developer a simple deployment would create an up and running Dev environment.
What is the correct way to do the deployment in this case?
If you have the schema.xml file defined for the list, then you really want to add your new columns using the collection within the list definition. You also want to be sure your list is defined by a content type, allowing for reuse. So within your schema.xml file, it would look something like this:
<List xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" Title="Test List" FolderCreation="FALSE" Direction="$Resources:Direction;" Url="Lists/Test-List" BaseType="0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<MetaData>
<ContentTypes>
<ContentType ID="0x010068a2e063a1a74913a37ecdb61ab2c721" Name="Test" Group="Custom Content Types" Description="Test Description" Inherits="TRUE" Version="0">
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="{c2f80e7d-666e-4273-8b58-d5c8a13a9d6a}" Name="Col1" ShowInNewForm="TRUE" Required="TRUE" ShowInEditForm="TRUE"/>
<FieldRef ID="{a84d620a-d42d-455c-8ef8-7e9f1d443250}" Name="Col2" Required="TRUE" ShowInNewForm="TRUE" ShowInEditForm="TRUE"/>
<!-- Your new field refs here here -->
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
</ContentTypes>
<Fields>
<Field ID="{c2f80e7d-666e-4273-8b58-d5c8a13a9d6a}" Type="Text" AllowDeletion="FALSE" Description="Key" AllowDuplicateValues="FALSE" EnforceUniqueValues="TRUE" Indexed="TRUE" Name="Col1" DisplayName="Col1" Group="Custom Columns" />
<Field ID="{a84d620a-d42d-455c-8ef8-7e9f1d443250}" Type="Text" AllowDeletion="FALSE" Name="Col2" DisplayName="Col2" Group="Custom Columns" />
<!-- Your new fields here -->
</Fields>
...
</MetaData>
</List>
Don't forget to change your View as well!
I am created an External List in VS and in the schema.XML file I have a few fields that I would like to change their display name, and format some dates.
We created an External List in SP, exported the wsp, and grabbed the list components of the site and added it to our project.
Here is an example of what I thought would work, but it does not.
<Field DisplayName="Date Closed" Format="DateOnly" Hidden="FALSE" Name="DateClosed" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="DateClosed" Type="DateTime" />
<Field DisplayName="Closed By" Hidden="FALSE" Name="ClosedBy" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="ClosedBy" Type="Text" />
We have a filter setup in the section which is working, so I know that the file is being used. Any insight as to why the changes I made to the field are not taking effect?
I am trying to call the lists.asmx UpdateListItems() to delete a list item by unique id or guid. The following batch xml fails with "Invalid URL Parameter. The URL provided contains an invalid Command or Value. Please check the URL again".
<Batch OnError="Continue" ListVersion="1" ViewName="">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Delete">
<Field Name="Guid">7be4a863ce-08de-4506-9c69-400749860e76</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
In addition, I have tried with and without enclosing "{}", UrlEncoding, using UniqueId instead of Guid, prefixing the guid with "[id];#", etc. but to no avail.
Using the ID will work, but I would prefer using the Guid if possible:
<Batch OnError="Continue" ListVersion="1" ViewName="">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Delete">
<Field Name="ID">29</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
Anyone have any ideas, or is this not possible using the UniqueID or Guid?
From the documentation, they only give an example using ID... which leads me to believe it probably will not work with anything else.
I have a custom definition for a document library and I am trying to rename documents within the library using only the out of the box web services. Having defined a view with the "Name" field supplied and trying the "LinkFilename", my calls to rename a file are respectively returning a failure or ignoring the new value.
How do I rename a file using the SharePoint web services?
Use the Lists.UpdateListItems web method. The XML request should look like:
<Batch OnError="Continue" PreCalc="TRUE" ListVersion="0">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<!-- List item ID of document -->
<Field Name="ID">2</Field>
<!-- Full URL to document -->
<Field Name="FileRef">http://Server/FullUrl/File.doc</Field>
<!-- New filename -->
<Field Name="BaseName">NewName</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
You should be able to use UpdateListItems. Here's an example.
Per comment: So the actual question is "how do I call a web service?" Take a look a this example. Some more good walkthroughs here.
