Original application file Text search

Hi DMS Gurus,
we Have a common requirement of finding the DIR by using the word or sentence present inside the Original application file.
can any one please let me know the complete requirement for this, is this feature inbuilt in standard DMS system using Content Server.
I have did the basic configuration in  transaction code SKPR07).
Enter the document class : DMS_PCD1.
Select: Edit / Administration.
A dialog box appears where the following data is preset,
Document Area :  DMS
Administration table: DMS1DIDSTA
Class can be indexed:  X
Set the indicator: Setup indexing.
and MIME text type is already present for Word, Excel, Pdf, PPT file type in Standard.
the Text search with original window appeared in CV04N but entering any text inside the Original it is unable to find the original.
is there any other setting i have to make please let me know.
Does this necessiates really installation of
1) A new Trex server for this  process.
2) can this Trex server be installed inside Content server
points Awaiting .
Thanks in Advance
Kumar K

Hi DMS Gurus and SAPIENS,
Welcome to New Year 2009, Wish you all and your family a Very Happy Prosperous, Peacefull, and sucessfull New Year 2009.
Like we all know any Word document in a PC or System can also be searched by giving the known Words in the file as the search criteria.
why there is any 3rd Party software required to avail this feature, that too in DMS which mainly deals with external Documents.
will be more happy if this can be achived with SAP-DMS standard funtionality or configuration.
if Like the TREX server has to be Integrated with DMS Server as a stand alone server?
will this be Completely Taken care by Basis or Functional involvement is required.
Please Clarify.

  • Original application file name

    hello,
    is it possible to view original application file name while searching document (attached file name not document name)?
    is it possible.currently i am not using EasyDMS.
    points will be awarded,be sure.
    thx in advance..

    Hi,
    maybe it is possible to create a special classification characteristic which includes the original file name. This file name is normally stored in table DMS_PHIO2FILE. Here you will find the original file path and name.
    You can also use report DMS_KPRO_READ. Here you can also enter document data and you will receive all necessary data on the attached originals as PHIO ID, LOIO ID and filenames.
    Hope this information is usefull and don't forget to reward points
    Best regards,

  • Problem in Creating Source Files (Templates) for Original Application Files

    Dear Friends,
    I am trying to ccreate "Source Files (Templates) for Original Application Files" . I checked the link
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Templates-Document+Management
    I created a new DOc. type TMP with no statuses, checked in KPO, assigned no. ranges.
    Created  DIR & assigned the template file, checked into storage category. DIR no. 10000000390 created.
    In Workstation application "DOX" in define templates for originals : doc. type: ZGA, application: DOX; language- EN; no - 01; In source doc- entered doc. type- TMP, doc. no.- 10000000390, part & version
    Assigned for required source file copy" ZGA doc. type. -- Default Appl. as "DOX" workstation application.
    Now created a DIR with ZGA doc. type, when clicking on originals , DOX prompted and clicking on "create with template" . TMP doc. 10000000390 template open in a new window. I edited & saved. close the MS word window. When comes to DIR, it prompted, Original was changed Do you want to save the original?.
    clicked on yes.
    Saved the ZGA DIR. When I saw the new ZGA DIR created it didn't capture. Where I went wrong ?

    Dear Ravindra,
    By going this below link, it seems we can use template for creating ne wdocument & attach the same.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Templates-Document+Management
    Following messages if you read, it may be clear.
    By having templates in place we can utilize the pre-defined documents instead creating right from scratch.
    Entries can be done in the Template and save the document.
    Templates are used for standardization and uniformity. By using templates time consumption for creation of documents will reduce as most of the details are maintained in the master template and the same can be utilize by using the template when creating documents.
    If in DMS editing functionality is not there what is the use of templates- documentation?

  • Original application file with extension .flc not opening

    hi,
    I have got an requirement from my end user for DMS. He operates a software named FLOW LOGIC CONTROL, from there he generates a document with extension .flc.
    I am able to check in the docuemnt in DIR, but when I try to access the same through DIR, it does not open.
    I have defined work station application as FLC with file format as .flc and application (path and programme name) as %AUTO% for Define work station application in network in customizing.
    Do I need to define application other then %AUTO% ? If so what it will be?
    I have tried to open same file through DIR on the desktop where the software is running, but there also I could not open original application file.
    Kindly help me resolving the issue.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Niraj Sikligar

    Hi NIraj
    The filed which I mentioned to You mentions the Path of the application which is used to display or change the Original Alpplication file.
    example.
    If you want to change or display Word document that you have checked in the content server, when you say display the system find the path where this Program ( eg. WINWORD.Exe ) .
    eg Path                 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.exe
    Check in your PC this Path.Whenever you open a word document it uses this path for winword.exe to process word document.
    So in your case the program may be installed in your PC or on some anather Computer.If its on your local machine the Mention * %AUTO%
    If 2D or 3D Document mention it as suggested earlier reply.( I Think in your case a Engineering document is getting generated.And it must be 2D or 3D doucment. ).
    If your program in on anather machine then give path name of that program.
    Please press F1 in the field * Path with program Name * to check the help for possible entries.This will help you to solve the problem.
    Hope this helps you

  • Making change in original application file for new version

    Hi
    I am new to DMS.
    I have a basic query about versioning of DIR.
    I have created a DIR with status in Released.
    I have attached a original application to the DIR. Now when I am creating a new version of DIR, original application file is also getting copied to the new version which is desired.
    My problem is I want to make changes into original application file in new version of DIR and want to save. But I am unable to do so. It is not allowing me to change the original application file for new version which is desired for storing some ISO documents.
    Is there any settings which I am missing?
    Waiting for reply ASAP.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Niraj Sikligar

    Hi
    If you want to make changes in the "Release" Status, go to dc10, select Doc type and define status screen. Do not put "S" (Lock mode) for Status - Release
    Also please check in new version , you are clicking on Edit symbol in Orginals tab, if u double click the file, it would open always in display mode , and it wont allow you to make any changes
    Regards

  • Edit Original application file

    Hi,
    How to edit an original application file in a document.

    Hi,
    Editing files (originals) attached to DIR depends upon the format of the attached file, authorization provided to the particular user.
    the settings for workstation application has to be provided in dc30 for the particular attached file which needs to be edited.
    for more advanced way in editing you need to have ECL Viewer to be installed on your system which helps in redlining/marking and even more editing options.
    Thank You,
    Manoj

  • Using a URL as the original application file in DMS/KPRO

    DMS and KPRO
    Has anyone had any experience with creating a DIR that points to a document stored on another server via a URL.  Such that the original document is not physically checked into the DMS vault.  When I enter the URL as the orginal application file the DMS checks the file into the vault and the URL is lost.  Is there possibly a better way to try and reference the URL so that I can get to the document and utilize the functions/features I need from SAP?
    Thank you for replying in advance.

    Hello,
    I've followed the thread because we have the same problem. We made all the suggested changes but unfortunately we were not able to add URLs as original applications. We received an error message - which does not say much: "E:26:504 com URL". After some debugging we found out, that the URL http://www.sap.com was treated as a file with the extension .com -> this resulted in the error message. We've made a number of screenshots, with all our customization settings. Can you tell us what to do to add URLs.

  • E-Recruiment: Full Text Search Not Working

    Hi Guys,
    We have a problem with the integration of SAP E Recruitment and TREX Search Engine. Maybe someone can share their idees if same problems occured.
    We have of course done investigations on SAP marketplace and the sdn community. In Fact the TREX is configured and works fine for searches with drop down selections, etc> When using full text search however no responses are shown. When performing searches on the indexes in TREX itself we have results on free texts.(as example Web Dynpro application Full Text Search )
    Does anyone has a clue where to look? Of course customizing have been reviewed several times. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
    Regards
    Reginald

    Hello,
    Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.

  • Open Office files in client application in Sharepoint Search

    Is there a way to have all users of a SharePoint farm open Office documents that show up as search results in our Enterprise Search Center within their client applications and not in the Office Web Apps?
    I know i can do this manually for me from the Search Result page > Preferences. But is there a way to do this
    automatically for every user? Couldn't find it on the internet.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi Simon,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open office documents in client application in SharePoint Search results.
    In order to open search results in the client application, you had to alter the Item_CommonItem_Body.html search results display template.
    More detailed information:

  • Horrors: How do I get all my original photo files back out of iPhoto 9.1.2?

    In my heart I KNEW I should never have upgraded iPhoto when the update came in for 9.1.2. But I had no idea what it was going to do. Now, to my horror, I have found out.
    It has EATEN all the original photo files in my Home/Pictures folder and hidden them inside a single iPhoto database! Yikes.
    I discovered this nightmare when I tried to find the original hi-res of a certain photo, and searched my Mac for it by filename – the one assigned to it by my camera.
    All the original and modified versions of the file should have appeared in the search box – but no original appeared, sending me into a total panic. I also searched my laptop and back-up drive to no avail. Then I looked in the Home/Pictures folder and there were no photo files there, when there used to be hundreds. Just one single iPhoto Library file.
    I felt sick, I thought I had lost all my original photos.
    So now I have two problems, and questions:
    1) iPhoto only displays photos from the last 18 months, so how do you access all the photos from years back now?
    2) How can I export ALL my photos back out of the iPhoto database so I can have them where I can see them on my Mac again – as individual files in my Pictures folder like they were before?
    Oh, and one other question:
    What can I use instead of iPhoto? Can I revert to an earlier version? Or is there an application that I can import photos to that will leave the original files where they are? Then I can make a back-up of the originals before importing them into iPhoto.
    Thanks,
    Sarah   
    PS: How do I change my Apple Discussions username?

    There's no reason to use the Finder to access your photos. That's what iPhoto is for.  THe following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto.  It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running: 
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation   which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3.Show File:
    a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Get a PDF when opening original InDesign File (CS4) to update it.

    I need to update an organizational chart MONDAY MORNING if I want to look really smart at my brand new job I started last week. The problem--I have located the orginal file that was created in InDesign CS4 by my predecessor. When I double click on the name to open the file I get a PDF. I cannot edit it very well and in in the time frame I will have to do it. Besides, I need to edit the original documnet. How do I do that? I did not create the origianl so do not know if there are locks etc. I need to figure this out before tommorrow at 6am or it will not look good for me...So far I have been blowing them away. Can't start looking stupid this week when I looked so smart last week! If I can't figure thei sout..I amy have to figure out hwo to correct teh PDF...which as a rememeber form a past experice is nasty and takes much longer. Thank you.

    If you double click it in Finder or Windows Explorer and it quacks like a PDF, then that's what it is. The operating system is ignoring the extension and opening it with the correct application; Acrobat here.
    This may be an intentional sabotage, or an inadvertent mistake, perhaps caused by the previous worker who had deleted the original ID file and thought that perhaps renaming it as PDF would cover the problem.
    In Acrobat or Reader, File > Properties > Description will tell you the application that made the PDF. The Additional Metadata button may tell  you who made it - or at the login name of that user. These won't fix anything, but may help you find someone with more info, like the named person.
    With your experience, it might be most efficient to place the document into a blank InDesign file on a master page if it's only a single-page document, or on the document page, then create a new layer on top of that, lock the PDF layer, and use it as a template over which you re-draw and re-type what you need to reproduce it. It's possible that a table was used to create the original - if so, create a table in a text frame atop the PDF, and resize columns or rows, and merge or split cells, etc, as needed.
    To view your progress, hide the PDF layer by poking the eye of its layer in the Layers panel.
    As mentioned, PDF2ID is a commercial product that can do the conversion. I believe there's either a free trial download or they'll convert your file for free to show off its strength.
    [EDIT]
    It's possible that the PDF was made by converting a chart from a dedicated charting application, even something like PowerPoint or the equivalent in the free OpenOffice (aka NeoOffice on Mac.)
    Naming it .indd might also have come from inadvertently including it in a batch file rename operation.

  • Full text search in local CD-ROM app

    Hi all,
    I want to develop a local application deploying in CD-ROM,
    and I want to use about 1.000 PDF documents.
    I thing that it's a good idea to convert the PDFs to SWFs
    using the FlashPaper.
    My answer is how can I make a full text search using the
    contents of these files. Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    We can create a custom tool for you that will enable you to
    search text in
    ALL your pdf files. That's not a problem.

  • Oracle Text Search

    Hi,
    We have implemented Oracle Text Search in our Desktop application. Now it is searching in files available at Oracle Server system only.
    How we can implement the search feature with following:
    *1. Search files available at Mapped Drive or Netwrok Folder.*
    *2. Generate Context of the Search text*
    *3. Searching in .docx, .xlsx, .pptx etc*
    Please share your valuable suggestion..
    Version - Oracle 9i/10g.
    Thanks
    Remesh

    You might want to look at the Ultra Search extension to Oracle Text.
    It's part of the standard db license I believe.
