Search does not crawl new site collection and documents

We have the following situation. We have two locations with different farms sharing the same databases (using AlwaysOn for the content databases). Everything works fine, the second site is also read-only while having the primary farm online. For existing
databases the search crawler on the second site is able to crawl existing site collections.
For new site collections created on the first farm the crawler on the first farm indexes the content proberly. The second farm though is not knowledgable of the content unless you force him to reiterate the content database. After this procedure the sites
are available on the second site as well (showing them in the web browser), but the search farm still is not able to see the new site collection and data created within.
Is there any additional iteration we have to go through making the crawler aware of the new structure / content ?
Thanks in advance, Jens

Nope.
Change log wipes are real, that's how incremental crawls work in SharePoint.
Site A is created and modified. Changes are mirrored to the second AG, content is added, logged in the changes log and then removed as the crawler on the primary farm indexes it.
This continues until you make farm 2 aware of the changes. At that point farm 2 will look for any changes to the content in the change logs on the newly added sites. Which will be empty, or at least not contain any changes since the primary farm's last crawl.
That explains why you don't get sites indexed properly when they are added but would explain why some content is indexed afterwards which i believe is the case?
The second issue you'll find is that the crawls won't synchronise. Assuming continuous crawls kicking off at the same time you'll end up in a race between the two. If the primary farm is quicker then the second farm will continuously fall behind then catch
up and go ahead of the primary indexing process, but if the secondary farm is faster then it'll race off into the distance and then any changes that occur between the secondary farm indexing a site and the primary indexing the site will be lost on the secondary
farm.
You'll have to run full crawls. Unless MS have done a lot of work on the supporting infrastructure incremental or continuous crawls of AOAGs won't work well.

  • AR Aging Report does not change with Posting, Due, and Document selections

    It appears to me that when you run the AR Aging report with the same date ranges in each of the date selection fields, Posting, Due and Doument, you do not get a different display of aging buckets.  Does this report always display data based on Due Date?

    Hi Bill,
    When you run the AR Aging report change "Age by" option and check aging buckets are changing or not it has to change.

  • Unable to apply a new site template to a new site collection's root web

    Hi folks,
    Using PowerShell I need to create a new site collection and add a new site template to its root web.  I've tried but failed...
    I created the site template from a team site that I modified and then saved it as a site template and saved the template to an WSP file (in the solutions gallery).
    I have tried both of the following methods but can't find the template to add to the root web of the site collection.  Help!!
    Method 1 - Create the site collection, deploy & install the template as a user solution, and apply the template
    I did the following, but it doesn't work because Get-SPWeb doesn't find it.  If I run Get-SPWeb with no parameters the list it returns doesn't include my template.  So site.GetWebTemplates includes it but Get-SPWebTemplate doesn't.
    # Create the site collection
    $site = New-SPSite $siteURL -OwnerAlias $owner -SecondaryOwnerAlias $secondOwner -name $studentName -Description $description
    # Deploy and install the template
    $wsp = Add-SPUserSolution -LiteralPath $wspPath -Site $siteURL
    $wsp = Install-SPUserSolution -Identity $wspIdentity -Site $siteURL
    # Assign the template.
    $loc= [System.Int32]::Parse(1033)
    $templates= $site.GetWebTemplates($loc)
    foreach ($child in $templates)
    Write-Host $child.Name
    If ($child.Name.EndsWith("ABC")
    # the name of the template that I added ends in "ABC" - when this script runs I the name of my
    #added template displays as "{longGUID}#1ABC"
    $template = $child
    $templateID = $child.Name
    $template = Get-SPWebTemplate $templateID
    # regardless of whether I assign $template above or here the Set-SP_Web assignment below fails
    $web = Get-SPWeb $siteURL
    $web | Set-SPWeb 
    -Template $template
    Method 2 - Deploy and install the template as a farm solution, create the site collection, and apply the template
    I did the following.  After I did the first section (deploy and install the solution to the farm) I was able to go to "Manage Farm Solutions" in CA and it was listed there, but neither
    site.GetWebTemplates nor Get-SPWebTemplate included the site template in their list of templates.
    # Deploy and install the solution to the farm
    $template = Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath "C:\SharePoint\Student Site.wsp"
    $template | Install-SPSolution
    Do {Start-Sleep 2 } while (!((Get-SPSolution $template).Deployed))
    # Create the site collection
    $site = New-SPSite $siteURL -OwnerAlias $owner -SecondaryOwnerAlias $secondOwner -name $studentName -Description $description
    # Assign the template.
    $loc= [System.Int32]::Parse(1033)
    $templates= $site.GetWebTemplates($loc)
    foreach ($child in $templates)
            Write-Host $child.Name
            If ($child.Name.EndsWith("ABC")
    # the name of the template that I added ends in "ABC" - when this script runs I the name of my
    #added template displays as "{longGUID}#1ABC"
                            $template = $child
                            $templateID = $child.Name
    $template = Get-SPWebTemplate $templateID
    # regardless of whether I assign $template above or here the Set-SP_Web assignment below fails
    $web = Get-SPWeb $siteURL
    $web | Set-SPWeb
    -Template $template

    Out of curiosity, are you able to create a site within a site collection using this template? That is, can you create a site that is not the root site (e.g. http://sharepoint/sitecollection/Web)?

    When I generate and then view the help, it looks perfect!  I changed the name of the project folder since the information is proprietary.  I have several pictures including the parent folder and the only 3 folders that are generated.  I cannot find the Webhelp output folder.  I think this is what you need to see.

  • IPhone calendar does not sync new events and appointments from Outlook

    iTunes 9.2.0.61/iPhone 4.0.1 - does not sync newly added events and appointments! Previously added stuff is all there, new stuff added in Outlook 2007 just doesn't show up. I've gone back to my old Palm T|X which syncs all this stuff with no problem, so it's not an Outlook bug.
    It looks like Apple has put a team of junior programmers on the Calendar app - I've seen leap-year bugs (still there), events showing up on the wrong day (still there), and I'm still waiting for the "week at a glance" view. Calendar is SO important for business use that top level "gray beard" engineers need to be on this. (Question for Apple's calendar developers: what's Zeller's Congruence? It they haven't heard of it they have no business doing calendar programming.)

    Spontaneously started syncing again - no idea why now, nor why it failed for so long. Related to the alarm bug? Who knows...

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

  • Filter List View by User and Groups in SharePoint Does Not Work on site Restore to another Server

    We have a scenario where users from a group or seeing items of list views entered by users of other group.
    For e.g, we have (ALL are Active Directory users and are authenticated as such)
    GROUP A with USER-A1, USER-A2, USER-A3
    GROUP B with USER-B1, USER-B2, USER-B3
    GROUP C with USER-C1, USER-C2, USER-C3
    We created views called
    GROUP_A_VIEW
    GROUP_B_VIEW
    GROUP_C_VIEW
    We created a web part for each of this view
    And from Advanced Settings, added Target audience for each VIew with respect. For e.g. if Target AUdience is Group A, then USER-A1 will see items entered by himself or USER-A2, and USER-A3 but not the mbers of GROUP_B and GROUP_C
    It works fine on the our development machine.
    However when we backup and restore to other machine containing the same Active Directory users, 
    GROUP A members are seeing records entered by GROUP B
    GROUP B members are seeing records entered by GROUP C
    GROUP C members are seeing records entered by GROUP D
    ....etc.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Groups and users are stored locally in a cache on each site collection. Within that site collection they have IDs assigned which are used internally to identify those groups.
    What is probably happening is that the groups you've targeted are being identified by IDs which are not consistent between your source site collection and your destination collection.

  • Create a new site collection in different farm and connect to different content database from decommissioned farm

    I wish to bring down a SharePoint farm1 and create a new site collection in an existing farm2 and connect the new site collection in farm2 to the content db in farm1.
    Is this possible and how should I do it?

    it is possible to copy/move a content database from one farm to another... so long as the NEW farm is at least as up-to-date (version/service packs/updates/hotfixes/etc) as the OLD farm.
    you can move a site collection into its own content database.
    hopefully that answers your question.
