[EP-tech] Re: Indexing issue

Admin page, System Tools Tab, Status button, Background Task Queue should list what the indexer is working on.
There should be an event for plugin 'Event::Indexer', action 'Index', with Parameters of '/id/eprint/xxxxxx' where xxxxx is the id of the offending eprint.  You should be able to delete or change the status on that item to a different status (e.g. Failed) to stop it being processed.
