I am installing Haystacks as a part of a project. I installed the service and followed the instructions to build the site equipment point hierarchy. When I go to load the query, I get no results. If I add the naystack to a new point, in the essential pane, it asks me for a schedule. I do not know where that came from. But in either case, I am not able to build my database.

To add to this, in the stats container it shows num points at 671, equipment at 1 and sites at 1, 00.00.00 for last cache rebuild. Is there a way to -0- out the stats or refrence links? It looks like as if the service is locked or the database file or something is just not updating as I proceede to build the site.

Are there any errors showing up in the station console output when you do the cache rebuild? That cache build time of 00.00 makes me think that maybe rebuildCache() isn't working on your data set.

I performed a rebuild:

MESSAGE [21:15:51 06-Dec-14 EST][nhaystack] Begin cache rebuild. MESSAGE [21:15:52 06-Dec-14 EST][nhaystack] End cache rebuild 345ms.

Then I did a search (points).

I was running 1.2.1 and upgraded to 1.2.4. I think that is when I started running into problems. The new version asks for physical location (Floor, etc) as the earlier version did not. It's almost seems like I'm missing one stupid step. So I removed the 1.2.4, the haystack tag slots from all the ord's, went back to 1.2.1 and still no luck. It's as if i missed that one file that is hidden somewhere. If I cannot fix it from remote, I'm going to have to reload the station (which I'd rather not) I am running 1.2.1 on another station and I think everything is working well.

I will be deploying this to a network of over 100 stations and possibly to thousands. I need to make sure that I can have this down so as I roll this out, i tackle any issues now.

OK, here is what I think is happening. It looks like somewhere in your station, there is a "units" facet that is a BString rather than a BUnit.

This is actually a misconfiguration of your station, so you will want to track that thing down and fix it.

I will also fix NHaystack for Build 1.2.5 so that it can handle this case gracefully, rather than failing to build as it does now.

We will most likely not be releasing 1.2.5 for several weeks. So if you can't track down that errant facet, let me know and I can send you an interim patch to work around this problem.

Not surprised that its a misconfiguration. Though they are not easy to find and on that station, there's a lot of items to go over.

Actually, that brings me to another issue that I was going to mention. IF the facet is null, the nHaystacks will not bind to the ord. I figured out what the issue was and took care of it.
