Basic Search & Advanced search in IdM

Hi Experts,
I was searching for one user on IdM UI, and I found that the basic search was not working (I only filled the Unique ID= userXYZ), but when I search for this userXYZ under advanced search, the user was found correctly.
Did you get this behavior in your system, I mean the Basic search in not showing the same results as the Advanced?
I am using IdM 7.2 SP7.
Thank you very much for your comment,
Victoria

Hi Matt,
The basic search work fine for other users.
The problem here is that Basic Search can not find my inactive userXYZ only by entering his ID but when I choose Advanced Search and Inactive checkbox now I can find my inactive userXYZ.
So why this inactive user can be shown only by using the combination of Advanced + Inactive checkbox ?
Many thanks,
Victoria

Documentation Search - Advanced search fail

The documentation advanced search (accessible from any search result page like this one)on the following page
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/ranked?advanced=1
doesn't work at all... that return an error page 404...
Nicolas.

Hello again.
That link on the 10.2 doc page was not supposed to be there. It is only supposed to appear (right now) on the 11.1 doc page. It will be backported to 10.2 some time in the future, but that hasn't been implemented yet, which is why the link failed. The link has now been removed until the backporting is implemented.
Thanks,

Talent search: advanced search multiple selection

Dear Guru's
We have setup the TREX and are using the advanced search for talent management. Everything is working fine except if we use the multiple selection option for a field. We have definied our own search field to search for (a range of) salary scale. However if we use the multiple selection and try to search for e.g. range 05 till 07 the engine only searches for the 05 value and not for 06 and 07. This also appears using ESH_TEST_SEARCH and also appears within SAP fields such as organizational unit etc.
We are on SAPBASIS SAPKB70210
SAPHR SAPKE60460
Any suggestions ?
Kind regards Stephan

Hi Stephan,
It looks like you're on 604 SP 60 but it's component EA-HRGXX that is important to check. These SAP Notes are useful to implement for the Advanced Search and do cover some of your symptoms.

Table is not stretching to its full width in Advanced Search Mode.

Hi All,
I am invoking a popup which contains search panel and af:table to display the result.
In Basic mode search operators are not enabled so its showing only search field and result table .
But in advanced mode the width of search panel is increased because all the searchable fileds are coming with search operators.
However width of result table is not changing at all .its same as it was in basic mode.
My requirement is whenever the width of search panel gets increased Result table shold also increase till the end of panel.
I have attached the screen shot of basic and advance search with this post .
Thanks,
Arun.

Why don't you use panelStretchLayout and place your table into its center facet? Then you will not worry about the size of your table.

I would be greatfull for any help

I have managed to solve the problem.
In the end I didn't check if the values were empty, as it worked fine without. However the switch of the price didn't work in combination with the rest of the query.
I've solved the problem as follows:
$varCategory_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Category'])) {
$varCategory_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Category'];
$varMake_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Manufacturer'])) {
$varMake_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Manufacturer'];
$varColor_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Color'])) {
$varColor_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['Color'];
$varPrice_rsgetsearch2 = "%";
if (isset($_GET['Keysound_price'])) {
$varPrice_rsgetsearch2 = $_GET['price'];
mysql_select_db($database_dBconn, $dBconn);
$query_rsgetsearch2 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM products WHERE Category LIKE %s AND products.Manufacturer LIKE %s AND products.Color LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString("%" . $varCategory_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text"),GetSQLValueString("%" . $varMake_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text"),GetSQLValueString("%" . $varColor_rsgetsearch2 . "%", "text") );
switch( $_GET['price'] ){
        case '0-500':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 0 AND 500 ORDER BY price ASC';
        break;
          case '500-1000':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 500 AND 1000 ORDER BYprice ASC';
        break;
                    case '1000-2000':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 ORDER BY price ASC';
        break;
          case '2000':
        $query_rsgetsearch2 .= ' AND price BETWEEN 2000 AND 10000 ORDER BY price ASC';
        break;
$query_limit_rsgetsearch2 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_rsgetsearch2, $startRow_rsgetsearch2, $maxRows_rsgetsearch2);
$rsgetsearch2 = mysql_query($query_limit_rsgetsearch2, $dBconn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsgetsearch2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsgetsearch2);
I'm sure that you can keep the checking for values in, however for me the was no need for it anymore.
Thanks for all your help

Issue while enabling Advanced Search functionality in Agent Inbox

Hi Experts,
We have enhanced the Agent inbox search to include few EEWB fields. The basic search is functioning smoothly and search is working on both standard and EEWB fields.
But after configuring the Advanced Search for agent inbox, we are not able to find the EEWB fields in the Advance search dropdowns to be searched upon.
We checked the ICCMP_INBOX/InboxAdvancedSearch view configuration and the EEWB fields are also not available in the list of available fields, but are present in the Context node 'SEARCH'.
Are we missing on some configuration?
Any pointers towards the solution would be highly appreciated.
Regards,

SRM 7.0 Advanced Search Object Type

Dear All,
We use SRM 7.0, I want to remove some object types from Advanced Search options in Portal. For example, in standard advanced search, you can select shopping card, confirmation, purchase order, contract... etc. And i dont want some emplyees to see all purchase order or contracts.
How am i going to delete for example purchase order option from advanced search ?
Best regards,

Hi
Advanced search drop down menu is based on SPRO configuration
SRM server -- Cross application basic settings -- POWL and Adv search
Here Standard object types will be defined as SAP entries under define objects types for advanced search.
Also, default application will be assigned for each object types.
If you deleted any of these standard object types, then that object type will not be available in advanced search for any SRM roles. However, that is not advisable to deleted standard objects.
Alternatively, if you want restrict certain group of users to access the some object types, you can control through the configuration powl_queryR which is query visibility at role level.
You can control the the same at user level if you want through powl_queryU

Unable to turn on Advanced Search for viewing PDFs (v9.1) through IE7

Our company is currently using Acrobat 9.1 and Internet Explorer 7.
We have multiple PDF document sets set up to be searched using index files. The Index feature can only be accessed using the Advanced Search option of Acrobat Reader or Pro 9.1.
When we access the documents via our internal network, the advanced searching works fine. We can easily set the user's Acrobat Reader (or Writer) to have the Advanced Search option enabled.
However, if our users try to access these documents via our company's intranet web pages, the Acrobat Reader Interface plug-in (acropdf.dll?) of IE7 is fixed to only use the Basic Search option. Users are only able to search the active PDF. I have not found a way to enable the the Advanced Search option using the Adobe / IE7 interface.
Not that long ago, we thought this option was available.
Is there a way to turn this feature on or at least allow it to be enabled?
Thanks Much!

Hello,
This may be of interest to anyone whose had the Advanced Search Problem (or the mis-linking problem mentioned below) using the current Acrobat Plugin to IE7.
I think I have found a workaround for this problem (and another we've found). I've been having users test this out over the past couple of weeks and it's working fine.
Problem #1
Being unable to use index searching across multiple documents with the Acrobat Reader 9.1 plug-in interface running from within Internet Explorer version 7.0.    This current plug-in interface disallows setting up the Advanced Index Search feature that groups within our company use.
Problem #2
Links in PDF A are not properly linking to desired pages (link targets) in PDF B. Any links in PDF A will only take the user to Page 1 of PDF B. This occurs when any PDF links to a certain page (other than page 1) in another targeted PDF.
Solution:
Set the user's (many users in my case) Acrobat Reader (or Pro) to only open web based PDFs into the stand-alone Acrobat interface using the Accessibility Setup Assistant.
In Adobe Reader:
     Go to Document | Accessibility Setup Assistant.
     Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
     Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
     Select Done.
     Exit Adobe reader.
In Adobe Acrobat Pro:
     Go to Advanced | Accessibility | Setup Assistant ...
     Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
     Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
     Select Done.
Result:
Any PDFs embedded in a web page (environment) will open up in a new session of Acrobat (Reader or Pro) on the users desktop.
Searching via indexes works great and there are no linking problems between PDFs.
It may not be an optimal solution, but is working fine for our folks that access our files via our company's intranet.
The only drawback I see is that you lose focus of the IE7 session and have to work outside of it's containment. Although it is easy to set it back to the way it worked previously.
If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know. I'm open to any improvements we can make to our process.
Thanks!
Dave

KM folders as drop-down on advanced search

HI All,
When user hits the advanced search option, there is option of restricting search to folders and sub-folders.
This is available in the folder structure. How can this be made to appear on a drop-down option. The user wants to have it in the same way as the sdn search options wherein the search can be restricted based on the dropdown of category/folders.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
This is what SDN Advanced Search provides.
Next to the Search term, it provides the option to select an index as a Dropdown choice. Below the search bar, it gives an option to filter the search result through a set of defined filter values like Product etc. This means that the content has been Meta Data tagged for the values represented by the check boxes.
If you select a checkbox, then the result set displayed to you will be filtered according to that.
What you basically need to do, is to define multiple indexes according to your needs and then define meta data properties which are assigned to each document / folder. This way you can achieve what you need.
I hope this helps, if it does, then please award points in SDN.
cheers,
Shantanu

Not render any field search criteria initially in Advanced Search Panel

Hi Everyone!
It's possible to hide or remove all field search criterias initially in Advanced search panel. We need that initially doesn't exist any field search and the user use the 'Add another' option when him need add search criterias.
Thanks,
Carlos C.

Your solution to the indexing issue with the LIKE operator is taking a small issue and making a big issue out of it.
Why not just fix the initial problem with basic tuning techniques ... for example a hint would force index usage.
So might having accurate statistics. So might tuning one or more optimizer parameters a small amount.
You have chosen the wrong solution for a very small problem thus you are where you are.

Advanced Search in 902

I have created a custom search page with custom search portlets that perform an autoquery. One portlet is configured as an basic search portlet and the other as an Advanced Search portlet.
This is then used as the default page for searching in my Portal and is branded appropriately.
I have added the Saved Searches portlet to a portal page, but it always uses the default Advanced Search page when you add a query via the Customize link.
However, I want to ensure that the default Advanced Search page is never used. I want one of my custom search pages to be invoked.
Is this controled from the Search Setting page? The link in the Search Settings screen for Advanced Search is confusing. I don't know what to replace the default value with so that my search results page is used. It seems to be a partial URL.
Can somebody please clarify the situation here.
Thank you.

Hi Nikhil,
Follow the below steps,
1. Open the desired application in transaction crmc_pcuitools
2. Goto advance search, here you can identify the fieldgroups , when you change the shufflers(if any), then you can notice that the fieldgroup too changes. For eg., check CRMM_ACCOUNT application
(Note: You can notice the shufflers in Version 0 (old floor plan)
3. Now open this fieldgroup in trx crmc_blueprint_c
4. If you do not find any fields, you have a button to import s table entries in the change mode.
5. After the export, remove fields which you do not require. Save.
6.Finally generate the fieldgoup using the generate layout option in the same transaction.
7. Re-run your browser and you should be able to see the desired results.
Best Regards, Adil

How to Dynamically add Search Criteria in Advance Search Region.

Hi All,
I want to understand how can we add Search Criteria dynamically in the Advance Search Region.
The Requirement is to add 4 additional search criteria for an org_id in a multi org structure. For other business those fields should not be visible.
I did try this with the form personalization but could not Show/hide the additional search criteria programatically for the business as we can only see 4 search criteria at the time of page load and other criteria comes in the drop down list to add which can not be show/hide after page load.
I thought of a solution to add search criterias dynamically for my org through extending controller.
I found the OAAdvanceSearchBean (advance search Region in controller) object for my Advance Search but could you tell me how can I add the Criteria Row in that Advance Search (createWebBean function) and then add the item in criteria Row dynamically.
Also please tell me how we can increase the showed criteria from default 4 to more, setDisplayedCriteriaCount(int) is not allowed and it is not working also.
Thanks.

Hi,
As Lars said The "Search Option Set" and the "Search Component Set" offer you quite some flexibility.
You can configure both of these component to customize your search.
Once you did it, you can create a new basic search iview and set these components.
On the other hand, you also customize the layout use to show result of search.
Dont'f forget that you need to configure Trex and create an index.
For instance, I configured the search criteria, the system only asked me some metadatas (created by us,whose value are dependents). Each time that you upload a document you set these attributes.
Then when you want to search, appear a screen with these values
