Query on Portal Search

I see that no topics on Portal Search is posted frequently .Dont know the reason.Anyway.
We have run the Portal Robot once and it has generated a set of RD's .
The problem is that the Search Engine is not capable of searching files with the following extensions
1.) .doc
2.) .ppt
3.) .pdf
Are these things configurable or is their any other way by which we can achieve this.

Maybe not a lot of people have questions on search ;-).
That statement is not correct Portal Search converts the following document types listed below. Go to Service Management/Search, click on Robot and then indexing.
It lists the type of index and covertors for the different doc type it supports.
HTH ..

Connect Solution Manager to Portal search

Hi Experts,
currently we have the requirement to connect our Netweaver Portal Search to SAP Solution Manager. The search should find documents saved in the Solution Manager.
After searching the SDN I found some hints but came to the opinion that there does not exist any standard approach. Is this true?
Following some more details describing my problem:
The Solution Manager is also used to save project related documents like concepts etc. These documents have to be found if the user enters a query in the NetWeaver Portal. The documents should only be saved in the Solution Manager, so it will be no solution to save the documents in KM.
The hints that I currently found:
Indexing documents - SolMan Document-Management Search
SolMan and Portal - Accessing Solution Manager 4.0 documents using KM
Using KM in Solman (the other way around) - KM in Solman
Any suggestions are welcome.
Kind regards,
Jan Tilo

In order to connect solution manager to OSS means you need to configure the systems in solution manager using T-code SMSY.
After configuring you need to configure maintanace optimizer in solution manger.while configuring you need to specify the your S user id.

Search of forums using global portal search (TREX) finds no results

Hello,
we are running EP 7.00 SP 12, and have installed and configured the forums application.
According to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/47/17904a21fa3696e10000000a11466f/content.htm], it is also possible to search the forums using the global portal search.
After the forums installation, the index and queue were automatically created for the forums. TREX Delta indexing of forum object is enabled in System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Repository Managers -> Forum Repository. As I understand it, this should be enough for TREX to be able to index forum objects. There exist some simple threads in the forums, but when searching in the portal for some keywords that exist also in the threads, I get no results.
I looked at the queue of the forums index, and there have been only 6 entries, so I performed a reindexing and got now about 24 entries, but still the portal search returns no result.
Is there anything that I've missed or any further suggestions to test for?
P.S. I am quite new to the SAP (NetWeaver) domain, maybe I missed some mandatory settings or configurations...

Hi Martin,
thanks for your reply.
Till now, I didn't manage to solve the problem. I was away the last week, so I didn't had any time for working on this issue.
Currently I am not able to test your suggestions, because there is a new problem with the index. The index has now the state "pending". Because of this state I am not able to perform any further actions like re-indexing and so on. On help.sap.com there is only little information about this state. But for me it looks like, that there has to be performed some actions in the TREX Admin Tool, so that this index can be used again.
I tried also the following on the portal:
- Delete this forum index
- Disable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager
- Enable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager.
This caused the creation of a new index for the forum. This new created index had however the initial state of "pending"...
Has anyone further suggestions on this topic?
P.S. Has someone successfully implemented such a scenario in his portal? (global portal search for forums)

Portal Search Engine

When using the Portals search engine, does it search the descriptions or does it search for the name of the folders, iViews, and pages? It seems that it searches what ever is in the description. For instance, if your search paramenters is "News and Announcements", it will search for all the folders, iViews, and pages that have "News and Announcements" in the description.

Francis,
as per the Help documentation it should search name, id or description of the iViews if correctly configured. See the documentation quoted below:
Searching For Portal Pages and iViews
This function is only available if configured for your system. The system searches for all portal pages and iViews in the roles of the logged-on user.
In the search field in the portal header, enter the name, ID, or description of a portal page or iView. Open the Search Options dialog box and make sure that the checkbox for the corresponding search area or index is active.
In the search results list, you only have to click a hit to navigate to the corresponding portal page.
You can find the whole documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/7e/5e115e4a1611d1894c0000e829fbbd/content.htm">HERE</a>

Help needed in Portal Search

Hi,
I have built a portal site using HTML Portlets and JavaPDK portlets, now I want to perform search on the contents. I have studied about oracle text and ultra search but could not find any clue how they interact with my dynamic JavaPDK portlet's contents that are coming from my self defined Database Tables.
Further more when I put search box/ simple search portlet in my page and search for any content like 'portal' it shows me some data, but if I search my own keywords that I had defined in the page properties I coulnt find any result.
Please help me in this regards.
Thanks
Jam

No, Portal search will only find content which is added through the Portal UI (Item wizards etc) or through the content management API wwsbr_api. Pending on whether Oracle Text is enabled, the search facility will be able to search within documents, URLs. This is done through a set of Oracle Text indexes :
- WWSBR_CORNER_CTX_INDX on WWPOB_PAGE$
- WWSBR_DOC_CTX_INDX on WWDOC_DOCUMENT$
- WWSBR_PERSP_CTX_INDX on WWV_PERSPECTIVES
- WWSBR_THING_CTX_INDX on WWV_THINGS
- WWSBR_TOPIC_CTX_INDX on WWV_TOPICS
- WWSBR_URL_CTX_INDX on WWSBR_URL$
Any content which is not added to these tables (e.g. a custom portlet which adds document to a custom table with a BLOB colum) will not be searchable through the standard search functionality.

Can spotlight be configured to search iWork templates (it will search MS Word templates)?

Can anyone tell me where to go from here? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
I have added more memory and swap. I took example1.xml, filled in the parameters and ran psconfig on it. The following is the output I got:
Logs redirected to /var/opt/SUNWportal/logs/config/portal.fabric.0.0.log

Looking at /var/opt/SUNWportal/logs/config/portal.fabric.0.0.log, there isn't any recent entry. What's next?

Extending Portal Search

I am looking to extending the Portal search facilities to allow for searching of our own bespoke content which is accessible from custom urls such as http://server:port/pls/portal/custompkg.disp_our_content?id=123
I had a brainwave that by adding a URL item when our content was added then the Intermedia search would index this content automatically. Unfortunately the lack of content area APIs to add an item has foiled my plan.
Has anyone got a way of either getting intermedia to index these urls where I can do this programatically? ie by adding to the already generated Portal index??
Thanks & Regards
Jenny

Jennifer
I would suggest that your first solution would be the way to approach the problem. The URL content that gets indexed comes from the URLs in the Portal URL table, but these are only meaningful as search results if they are associated with an item, i.e. a URL item.
What Portal version are you using? It may be possible to find more information on the situation with the content are APIs for you.
The alternative solution might be to use Ultra Search. This is an Internet Search solution and comes as part of iAS. This could be used index you URLs. It offers some Portlet based search UI so that you can search and see the results in the Portal.

Can Portal search for the old version of a specific item?

Hi,
If I have created several versions of a file item in Portal, can I search the old versions of this item? The old versions of this item are invisible in portal page. If so, how? Thanks in advance.
regards,
Eric Feng

Currently, Portal does not support searching of non-active versions of an item.
Please note that there is a separate forum for Portal Search.

Failed configuring Portal Server. can't run cacaoadm.bat

Hi,
I am trying to install Sun Java ES5 (2006Q4) on window XP. The configuration for portal server was failed. When I checked the logs, it complains cacao default instance was disabled and couldn't started. I went to the the directory and tried to manually run cacaoadm command. It returns:
C:\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\bin>cacaoadm.bat enable
This action cannot be performed by a non privileged user.
I logged on to the windows as a user who is in the administrators group. Any other components installations were fine. I really have no idea how to solve this problem as there is no user account as administrator. Can someone please help?

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for the post.
Use cacaoadm restar gives me the same error.
I found out that is a limitation for the windows version I am using. Basically, the account for installation and configuration has to be an local administrator not in network.

What databases to backup to restore Search Enterprise configuration and search pages?

Hello,
If I needed to restore the Enterprise Search configuration and search pages, what SharePoint pages do I need to backup?
SharePoint config and/or SharePoint admin databases?
Thanks.
Paul

Hi Paul,
SharePoint Enterprise Search site is stored in SharePoint Content database associated with the web application which hosts enterprise search site, if you want to resoter the search configuration and search pages(may have customized the search web part
page), you can try to firstly test the restore of particular content database and search administrator database.

can anyone can give a sample configuration file, with the data filled??
