Benefits of Using TREX for PLM Search

Hi All,
Can somebody guide me on the benefits if we use TREX 7.1 with Embedded Search for PLM?
Following are our requirements, whether this will be met with TREX
1) Will the TREX help to search Cross u2013Objects with same names, for ex, if we search CCA, will it show all materials, BOM,s; Documents and Change Masters starting with CCA?
2) .Can we u201CSaveu201D the Search attributes or variants so that the same type of Search can be used again?
3).Can we give Boolean search or fuzzy search with AND and OR options?
4) .Can we search the fields mentioned in Long Text using TREX?
Regards,
Aby

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your inputs..
While searching for all Objects, can we give the input of Description?
for example, if I want to find all objects which have a term "XYZ" in the description, can I find it?
Can I search on the Long text details if TREX is there?
If you have any detailed links or documents related to PLM Search with TREX , its benefits and features , please forward..
Also we are using PLM 7.0 Are all these features mentioned for TREX 7.1 is available over PLM 7.0?
Regards,
Aby

Using Trex for Vendor Search in SRM

Experts,
Please let me know if you used TREX to optimize the vendor search in SRM 7.0, ECC 6.0 EP4.
Please let me know any tips or suggestions regarding the implementation.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Scott

Hi Scot
the below is for goa . try for BP too.. Why you require TREX search . std search dont enough. since
TREX helps only if you want to enable full text search for long texts and attachments in contracts.You need to instal the trex server and configure the settings:-
1.create RFC destination of type TCP/IP server using TCODE SM59
2.MAINTAIN ENTRY IN back end systems settings
3. Activate full text search y executing the program BBP_TREX_INDEX_ADMIN .
bUSINESS oBJECT : - bus2000113
subtype usiness object :- cc for GOA or blank for operational contracts
Action for SRM TREX index :- select the appropriate value from search help . for example , you would specify A for the initial index generation.
bundle size for indexing : enter "10." bundle size affects performance. The size indicates the number of docuemnts that will be updated in one pass.if there are a large number of documents, then the size may be reduced to improve performance

Using TREX for Material master for longtext (basic data) and classification

Hi together,
I am only having some basic know how about TREX.
We want to use TREX for quick search in Material master long texts (like basic data and so on) and also for searching in characteristic values of material master (tab: classification).
The TREX is successfull installed and It was possible for me to create an index for Material BUS1006001 in SES_ADMIN and search the material in this transaction by TREX. I also find the index in TREX_ADMIN "green".
But there I could only use the attributes of the standard business objects (for example describtion of material master = short text).
Now I want to use the long texts and the classification. What do I have to do in SES_ADMIN or somewhere else? Actually I only want to use the functionality in SAP GUI. If I know how to make the indixes I could program an own F4-Help for this in ABAP.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Florian

Hi Florian,
SES_ADMIN is the admin cockpit of the Search Engine Service (SES).
SES-based solutions usually include searching the long text. Just test!
SES-based solutions usually do not include searching via classification.
The successor framework of SES is "Embedded Search".
Embedded Search is available with NW 7.01, corresponding to ERP 6.04. For details see SAP note 1254901
Classification is supported by Embedded Search with NW 7.02, corresponding to ERP 6.05.
ERP 6.05 is in unrestricted availability since summer 2011.
If the customer can not upgrade to ERP 6.05, there is a preliminary SES-based solution for searching via classification.
The solution can only be provided via SAP PLM consulting.
Kind regards, Klaus Irle

Sites using TALEO for job searches no longer works in 19, worked in last official 18 release

Company websites which use the TALEO job search/apply app/site, no longer work right in 19, they worked fine in 18.xx. Specially, the job search function does not work right when entering the TALEO job search parameters then hitting SEARCH FOR JOB does nothing. AN example site (which does not require registration) is https://nielsen.taleo.net/careersection/3/jobsearch.ftl?lang=en. If I make selections for JOB FIELD and/or LOCATIOn then hit SEARCH FOR JOB, nothing happends. Sites using TALEO worked fine in the last offical 18.x release. TALEO worksd fine in IE 7&Chrome 25.
Clearing the cache does not change behavior. Finally did a full FF reset--no change.

I am running Firefox version 19.0.2 and I have the same problem. I am able to filter using Internet Explorer which I really don't like. Rather than users having to figure out why this isn't working either Taleo needs to fix their scripts or a fix needs to happen in Firefox.

I like to use Google for my search engine but it has been replaced with Amazon. How do I get google back?

In the upper right corner of the Firefox screen, there is a box for a search engine search. I used to have google there, but recently it somehow changed to Amazon.com. How do I switch it back to google?

OK, might want to make that change in your profile to get faster answers to future questions. If you leave the "iOS6" that's now in your profile, helpers will have to ask the OS question every time you post, slowing your getting help you deserve. Note the level of detail I was able to cram in my Equipment profile (at the bottom of this post).
I don't have 10.7 on any of our Macs but I suspect a system update may have removed that iPhoto option. However, you can still get to your iPhoto files if 10.7 is anything like 10.8.
In System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver > Screensaver tab, there is a "Source" dropdown menu direct under the preview pane. Click it and select "Choose Folder..":
That gives you a dialog box that should point to your "Pictures" folder. Within that is your iPhoto library. Select it and see if that gives you access to your images.

HD won't appear on Desktop and cannot use Find for HD searches

This happens every time I do a Google search.

Using TREX in SAP Solution Manager

Dear all,
I want to setup TREX for document search purpose in my SAP Solution manager system.
There is already TREX installed on another system, & I have setup the connection between solution manager & TREX.
My question is , in order to use TREX for document search , I need to connect solution manager to Knowledge warehouse?
is this true?
why can't we use TREX to search document in SAP Solution manager, BUT to use functions of SAP Knowledge Warehouse 6.0 or SAP Knowledge Provider, to store documents?
and anyone can show me more detail documentation about the configuration?
thank you very much to share!
kelly

Hi Kelly,
You can have a look into the SAP Solution Manager system and there you can call transaction SPRO. You find information for TREX installation with the path:
Solution Manager Implementation Guide ->SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Cross Scenario Settings -> TREX Setup

TREX 7.1 Embedded Search for PLM

Hi there,
Currently we have TREX Server 7.00 Build 49
However, I am bit of confused with the following notes "Note 1249465 - TREX 7.1: Installing TREX for Embedded Search", where they are talking about TREX 7.10...Is that mean we cannot use the Currently installed TREX 7.00 Build 49 for Embedded search PLM? or Do we need to do a fresh install of TREX 7.10 Embedded search separately on a server for PLM Search?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Frank,
I have a quick question regards to High Availability for TREX 7.1. I have read the most part of the documentation for "SAP NetWeaver Standalone Engine Search and Classification TREX 7.10 on multiple hosts"
[TREX 7.10 on Multiple hosts|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000854982007E/TREX71InstallMultipleHosts.pdf]
I would like to get your thoughts on what I am planning to put together. We have 2 physical server with 8 CPUs, 32 GB memory each, with a network storage for Centralized Storage to make it HA. To make it HA, we need at least
1 Master
1 Backup
2 Slaves
For an example:
Server 1 host: SAPTREX1
Server 2 host: SAPTREX2
Do all of them needs to be installed on a separate OWN hosts? or can I install Master and First Slave on the SAPTREX1 and then Backup and Second Slave on the SAPTREX2. Is this is something possible?
Please let me know what do you think about this.
Thanks in advance.

Use TREX Search outside portal

Hi,
Our situation:
1.We have our intranet indexed with Autonomy search engine;
2.We have TREX installed and we have SAP EP7.0
3.We have our intranet also indexed by TREX in our SAP portal (using Web Repository in KM).
Now we would like to replace Autonomy intranet search with TREX. This means that the search field on the intranet page should contact TREX for a search instead of Autonomy.
How can we achieve that?
I have found documents and blogs about TREX API. I know that TREX Java client communicates with TREX server over TCP/IP and that they exchange XML files with the search request and results.
Maybe this would be possible if a TREX java client was available outside portal, but I haven't found it until now.
Kind Regards

Hi,
This is the URL I get before I click the search button:
http://xxxxxxxxxx/irj/go/km/basicsearch?SearchType=ctrlpers&SelectedSearchIn=FROM_HERE&SelectedSearchFolder=/intranet&SelectedSearchFromHere=/intranet&StartUri=/intranet
This is the URL from the search results:
http://xxxxxxxxxx/irj/go/km/prteventname/HtmlbEvent/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2feu_role!2fcom.sap.km.home_ws!2fcom.sap.km.hidden!2fcom.sap.km.urlaccess!2fcom.sap.km.basicsearch?SearchType=ctrlpers&SelectedSearchIn=FROM_HERE&SelectedSearchFolder=/intranet&SelectedSearchFromHere=/intranet&StartUri=/intranet
However, I do not see the query string. Do I miss something? Has this anything to do with, for instance, the configuration of the URL generator service?
Another question: the URL contains the name of the portal (xxxxxxxxxx). Should this be replaced by the name of TREX server, when submitting search to TREX outside portal?
Regards
Edmond

I have been putting in a URL and yahoo snags it parses it to several words then gives me a search page... I use Google for search andf I want to go to the specific URL I entered... How do I block Yahoo from doing this crap?

I use google for my search engine. I do not have any reference to Yahoo in my plugins or extensions on Firefox. Every time I enter a specific URL in the Firefox box, Yahoo comes up, has the full URL I entered to go directly to. It has the URL in the Yahoo search entry field and it parses the name to several words that make up the entire URL. Asks me if I only want the name I entered and lists every site that contains the words it parses... Yahoo is really screw up if it hijacks the browser. How do I prevent them from doing this...

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

How can I use TREX?

Hi experts!
We want to use TREX as our search engine.
The following link already show some results for our system:
[http://trexsourcesearch.wdf.sap.corp:31305/webkit/TREX/abapsearch/search.psp|http://trexsourcesearch.wdf.sap.corp:31305/webkit/TREX/abapsearch/search.psp] and also the RFC-connection check in SM59 for TREX_SOURCE_SE is ok. So it seems that TREX is already running and configured on our system.
Our aim is to write a simple (test)report where you can enter e.g. a string. TREX searchs (maybe) our whole component for this string. TREX returns the search results and our report shows all the results.
So my question is:
How can I do this? Which function modules/methods... should I call to solve this problem?
I've found the following link but I think it describes only how TREX works and how it is to administer.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/cbe4bb63a668dfe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/cbe4bb63a668dfe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]

I've founde a solution:
Useful is the transaction "TREXADMIN". Here you can see if your index has been created and if you have feed it correctly. You can also search for the attributes which you have added to the index.
But this transaction requires a special permission. Therefore you can use the search-methods in CL_COM_SE_TREX instead. The mentioned class provides a lot of functions for TREX
The following example shows how to create and feed the TREX index with one document. The search attributes itself are contained in lt_doc_attr. In this internal table you will have the fieldname (later displayed in TREXADMIN) and the value (you can search for this).
Comment: After you've feed the index you might have to wait some time until the fields in TREXADMIN appear or the search routines find something.
Create the TREX index:
* Get trex instance
lr_trex = cl_com_se_trex=>if_com_se_trex~get_instance( ).
CHECK lr_trex IS BOUND.
* Prepare Index Attributes
l_trex_id = 'your_trex_id'.                         "unique
l_rfc_destination = 'your_rfc_destination.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ISOLA_OUTPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input = sy-langu
    IMPORTING
      output = l_langu.
* Create index
CALL METHOD lr_trex->create_index
    EXPORTING
      iv_index_id        = l_trex_id
      iv_rfc_destination = l_rfc_destination
      iv_language        = l_langu
    IMPORTING
      ev_return_code     = l_rc
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_error   = 1
      error              = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.
Feed the TREX index:
The table lt_doc_attr has been filled in a subroutine.
DATA ls_doc_list            TYPE trexs_index_doc.
DATA lt_doc_list            TYPE trext_index_docs.
DATA lt_doc_attr            TYPE trext_indexdoc_attrs.
*   Feed Index
    l_doc_key = ls_doc_key-doknr.      "unique
    ls_doc_list-doc_key     = l_doc_key.
    ls_doc_list-doc_langu   = l_langu.
    ls_doc_list-class_rel   = 1.
    ls_doc_list-doc_type    = 'A'.    "text ASCII
    ls_doc_list-doc_action = 'I'.    "index, alternative: D(index)
* some values for ls_doc_list-doc_type
*     A text (ASCII); standard is A
*     F file
*     U url
*     B binary
*   Copy search attributes into the structure
    ls_doc_list-doc_attr = lt_doc_attr.
    APPEND ls_doc_list TO lt_doc_list.
*   Now feed the index with the new document
    CALL METHOD lr_trex->feed_index
      EXPORTING
        iv_index_id            = l_trex_id
        iv_rfc_destination     = l_rfc_destination
*        iv_use_queueserver     = 'X'
        it_index_document_list = lt_doc_list
*        iv_flush_after_index   = 'X'
      IMPORTING
        ev_return_code         = l_rc
      EXCEPTIONS
        conversion_error       = 1
        error                  = 2
        OTHERS                 = 3.
Delete the TREX index:
* Delete the Index
CHECK del_idx = abap_true.
CALL METHOD lr_trex->delete_index
    EXPORTING
      iv_index_id        = l_trex_id
      iv_rfc_destination = l_rfc_destination
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_error   = 1
      error              = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.
How to search in the TREX index
You can use the trex instance instead of the function module to search the index.
* Search for a special fieldvalue
    ls_query_entry-location = 'FIELDNAME'.   "a fieldname which you have added with lt_doc_attr
    ls_query_entry-value1 = l_txt.           "maybe a text from the selection screen
    ls_query_entry-rowtype = 'ATTRIBUTE'.
    ls_query_entry-operator = 'EQ'.
    APPEND ls_query_entry TO lt_query_entry.
* Search for a string
* Add the operator only if you've added a fieldname
    ls_query_entry-value1 = 'AND'.
    ls_query_entry-rowtype = 'OPERATOR'.
    ls_query_entry-operator = 'EQ'.
    APPEND ls_query_entry TO lt_query_entry.
    ls_query_entry-value1 = l_string.
    ls_query_entry-rowtype = 'TERM'.
    ls_query_entry-operator = 'EQ'.
    APPEND ls_query_entry TO lt_query_entry.
* All attributes are requested
ls_requ_attributes-attr_name = '*'.
APPEND ls_requ_attributes TO lt_requ_attributes.
* 1: DidYouMean, 2: Snippets 4: TitleSnippets or a bit combinaton
l_request_flag = 2.
* Search the index
CALL FUNCTION 'TREX_EXT_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS'
    EXPORTING
      i_indexes                           = lt_index        "table with your index id
      i_rfc_destination                   = l_rfc_destination
      i_result_from                       = l_res_from    "how many results should be found?

Using TREX to index R3(WAS) tables

Hi,
I am developing a bsp application on WAS 6.40 and I will like to know if there is a way to use TREX in order to index table contents. Of course, I need also a way to use TREX for searching. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I order to have a quicker response, I think you should post this question in KM forum.
Meanwhile, have a look at things like
