Hello Everyone,

I have a question about "Browsing by Issue Date" functionality in DSpace 7.3. When I am logged in as a Community Administrator, and navigate to Browsing by Issue Date page (All of DSpace -> By Issue Date), I am getting only items from the communities where I am Administrator: 13 items. When I log out and become anonymous user, and navigate to Browsing by Issue Date page, I am getting 10,987 items. The same behavior exists for Collection Administrator, in all “Browsing by…” pages they only see items from their collections. I was wondering if this is considered a bug.

Thank you,

Irina Doudnikova

Hi Irina,

That doesn't sound right at all.  I wonder if maybe there's a problem with your Solr index?

You might try reindexing all content in your DSpace (this may take a while though if it's very large): "./dspace index-discovery -b"

You also might check our Troubleshooting guide for tips on finding errors (as sometimes a hidden error can occur in the logs or even in the UI in your browser).  That guide helps walk you through finding them: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)

Essentially, I've never heard of this behavior before, so I suspect either a different error is occurring behind the scenes, or if you forgot to fully reindex after an upgrade.

If you can find any additional information, please let us know on this list & we'll do our best to help.

Tim

Hi Tim,

Thank you for replying to my message. This behavior is happening not only in our instance of DSpace, but in DSpace Demo as well. I log in to DSpace Demo with "dspacedemo...@gmail.com" and click on All of DSpace -> By Issue Date. I get 16 items. I log out,  click on All of DSpace -> By Issue Date, I get 10,991 items. 

Thank you,
Irina

Hi Irina,

That is very odd behavior & I hadn't noticed that myself, but I see it as I try out demo7.dspace.org as well.  

I've created a bug ticket for it: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8512

In the future, you are welcome to report odd behavior / likely bugs to our ticketing system: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues

I'll get a developer assigned to this to analyze more closely and determine if there's a misconfiguration, search index issue or some sort of bug in the system.  Right now, it's unclear to me why this is not working properly. 

Tim
