Issue
- After our migration (upgrading to a newer version of Liferay) we cannot see our pages / web contents / templates
- When we create a new one, we see it gets created in the database but we don't see it on the UI
Environment
- Liferay Portal 6.2+
- Liferay DXP 7.0+
Resolution
- As a rule of thumb, if some parts of your portal are not visible, for example you cannot find your previously created web content articles, run a reindex for the affected content, it usually resolves the missed post-upgrade indexation issues
-
There is also a portal property
index.on.startup=falseset out-of-the-box on DXP, therefore data is not reindexed on startup at all, also including the very first startup:# Set this to true if you want to index your entire library of files on
# startup. This property is available so that automated test environments
# index on startup. Do not set this to true on production systems or else
# your index will be indexed on every startup.
#
# Env: LIFERAY_INDEX_PERIOD_ON_PERIOD_STARTUP
#
index.on.startup=false -
Although, if the property is set with value
true, all the contents are indexed and visible right at the initial startup. - However, please note the followings from the description of the property:
Do not set this to true on production systems or else your index will be indexed on every startup.
Please apply this setting with caution.
