Hi, When changing the URL on a site asset I get quite a few of these errors:
Update Lookups HIPO Error Report (HIPO job was completed)
Type Description Reported
Warning Asset #20839 does not exist [SYS0087] 4th Dec 2017 10:33am
Error Could not update lookups for asset #20839, asset does not exist 4th Dec 2017 10:33am
The site appears to work OK with the new URL, but wonder if this was an issue? Not sure what doesn’t exist (as I can’t look it up)?
Hi Nic, Thanks for replying. It’s quite possible as our editors do use those style of links. I’m not sure how I would search for them across our Matrix instance however. I don’t think the search in the matrix admin interface searches within assets though I could be wrong, or page content for that matter, I did try looking for these missing assets but the search returned nothing. I wondering if those assets were part of a previous design asset? They seem to be assets numbered a long time ago (as new assets are now much higher).
The “links” referred to by the Update Lookups HIPO would be links in the asset tree, as opposed to HTML links. I’d try running the system_integrity_invalid_links.php script:
In the case of system_integrity_invalid_links.php, any links it deletes would already have been broken (one of the assets no longer exists). So something’s already wrong in that situation, as you’ve observed.
While I can’t completely guarantee that there are no circumstances under which running that script could ever make things worse, I can say that I’ve used it many times on many Matrix instances and never seen any problems caused by it.
