DMS Search on individual metadata characterstics.......

Hi,
WE are using DMS connector for KM and acessing documents from SAP content server.
The requirement is to search on individual DMS metadata characterstics but KM offers only one pre-defined property for all the characterstics and while searching the characterstics are being returned in a concatenated string,but i need to search on individual characterstics.
Will modifying the code for DMS connector a recommended solution? What are the other alternatives?.
We are on EP7.0 and ECC5.0..
Thanks,
Vasu.

Vasu,
We faced the same issue.  In order to get around this, we developed a custom KM Report that copies the files from DMS, through the connector, to a KM repository.  During the copy, the program parses out the characteristics and stores them as seperate KM properties attached to the file.  You can then search the files and properties stored in KM.
I would not recommend customizing the DMS connector code.  Besides being expressly discouraged by SAP, I have looked at the code and it is very complicated.

  • DMS SEARCH THROUGH PORTAL

    Dear SAP Gurus,
        I'm using SAP NW 2004s ,i have connected my portal with DMS and when i search documents from DMS through dms search iview it is giving wrong result,please help me in solving this issue.
    regards,
    sathya.

    Hi sathya,
    1) you had connected dms to portal using connector ( supplied by sap --- hardcoded by SAP)
    2)you search documents through search iview (supplied by sap --- hardcoded by SAP -- i hope so ).
    in this scenerio it is better to raise an  message to SAP or look out for SAP note in market place.sometimes such problems could be solved by importing a latest service pack but then it will be informed by sap through SAP note.

  • I have two email accounts. Before the upgrade I was able to search them individually now it seems to search all emails by default. How can I search them separately.

    I have the same issue - all inboxes merged into one.
    My Gmail account provides a number of subfolders like sent, drafts, own folders - many can be selected, but not the inbox.
    Another account type only provides the sent folder, this goes also for my iCloud account.

    Hi John,
    the performance issue is not the TREX search. In most cases it takes long time to check if the user have at least read permissions to the document listed in the search result list. That's why it takes more time to display 20 hits than 5 hits.
    Using more or less repository services doesn't change ther performance for the search result.
    Using a user with Content Administrator permission must have the best performance because in this case ther document permissions are not checked.
    To improve the performance you can try to use a ACL cache or increase the size of the ACL cache.
    Best Regards

  • DMS KPRO Migration of Metadata

    Hello Experts,
    We want to migrate DIR KPRO metadata only (Not the orignal attachment, it is already there in the KPRO Server) from legacy SAP ECC system to new SAP ECC system, Is there anyway we can do that?
    Thanks,
    SamirV.

    ALE (Application Linking and Enabling) is a method of moving master or transactional data between systems. In short, you create an RFC connection between the two clients and this allows you to move the data. Obviously when you move data you would need to ensure the clients are setup the same, but you could use ALE to move characteristics and classes across as well so you don't have to manually create these in the new client.
    Do a search in the help file for ALE and you should find lots of information. Generally, the setup of ALE would be a basis function.
    Here is some additional information I picked up in a google search:

  • DMS-Search via object Links

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to the DMS Module and have some queries- I have attached a DIR to a PR and PO and in CV04N, while I am doing search with object links,either when one value is correct , the DIR is showing,(like an OR Gate). i.e when PR is correct and PO is wrong, it is showing the DIR or when PO is correct and PR is wrong, it is still showing the DIR. So, is this a standard feature or is there any configuration change I need to do?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Aravind,
    step-1 create doc.type for PO in DC10 (IMG tcode)
    step-2 select doc.type,click left side define object link,here you have to assign the PO table EKPO.
    step-3.for more information check below notes.
    Note 880077: Performance problem using object links
    Note 885977: Extension to note 867241 on object links
    Note 926060: Extension of note 885977 for object link Purchase Order

  • DMS SEARCH IVIEW

    Dear All,
    I need to search documents from SAP DMS and it should be published in SAP EP .
    what are the prerequsites for the above.
    Regards
    Subash

    Try logging in to your portal as the index_service user
    If you don't see any documents in the DMS connector, its an authorization problem
    You then have to check whether there is a user in the backend system that has the proper rights to the DMS documents
    Map that user in the portal to the user in the backend system
    Check again if you see your documents in the DMS connector, if you do, reindex the documents

  • How do you search speech analysis metadata?

    I'm new to Premiere - I used the Analyze function to create a metadata element of 'Analysis Text' - which is great. How can I search this for keywords.
    I have been given about 15 hours of footage and I need to find a few moments where certain things are mentioned. The analysis didn't come back with the most accurate results even though the audio is extremely clear (a speaker on a stage with the microphone as the audio source) but I'm hoping it's good enough to pull out what I need ...
    if i can only search!

    Very surprised no one else is having this issue. Seems like half the point of speech analysis is then to be able to search the text....

  • Search the IPTC metadata field "Source" in Lightroom 5?

    How is it possible to search for photos in Lightroom 5, where the IPTC field "Source" is empty? Is it possible to add additional metadata fields to the Library Filters?

    The only way to search the IPTC Source field in LR is to use the "Searchable IPTC" criterion:
    This searches all the "searchable" IPTC fields (Adobe doesn't specific exactly which fields those are, but they do include Source).
    However, you want to find photos whose Source field is empty.  LR doesn't have an "is empty" criterion for most fields, but the normal way you'd work around that, e.g. for Title, is to do:
    Title Doesn't Contain a b c ... x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    Unfortunately, that workaround won't work in your case, since
    Searchable IPTC Doesn't Contain a b c ... x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    would only return those photos all of whose IPTC fields are empty.  If there was a photo with a non-empty IPTC Headline and an empty Source, this criterion wouldn't return the photo.
    To search the Source field in particular, you'd need to use a third-party plugin, e.g. ExifMeta, Data Explorer, or Any Filter.

  • Searching iTunes U Metadata

    Anyone thought of a way to have external search engines get after iTunes U content, particularly on the rich metadata that people are (finally) tagging things with?
    Nothing jumps right out at me as enabling this but I thought someone might have been poking around in this area.
    Is there such a thing as a brute-force spider indexer that could guess all my subscription feeds given the root URL as a seed? If there was, would it be named after an Arachnophobia character? Are there other avenues of attack?
    Thoughts?

    Huh, don't know why I didn't think of that. It doesn't quite have everything I had hoped but certainly you get a good deal of the important information, and more than the RSS feeds provide. Thanks, uh, razzledazzle.

  • In contacts section for the groups section i want to delete old groups i have on the phone and then add a new group for easy access for work contacts for calling. rather then searching each individual contact when needed. is this possible?

    i currently have about 6 different groups listed on the iphone in my contact list section and i want to delete the old ones and create a new group for work puposes!
    i dont want any apps all i want is something similar to my favourites list but in a group so i can just go into that work group and scroll to the person i need to call and this way seperating my personal and work contacts.
    because i do alot of calls from my car i dont want to have to search my contact lists to find the right person i just want them all in a simple folder.
    is this possible because if i already have groups on my iphone i should be able to delete the old ones and create a new one?

    Deleting groups on the phone and creating new ones is not supported with iOS4, you'll have to do that on your computer and sync again.
    Let's see if they changed that in iOS5 when it is released.

  • I want to make a smart collection that searches "any searchable metadata"

    which metadata fields are best to use and will work

    ClayStudio_34 wrote:
    the field I want to filter is under IPTC...the "Category" and "Other Categories" fields. Are those fields considered searable metadata?
    Sorry. - I don't know the answer to your question.
    I always assumed that "All Searchable Metadata" meant "Any Of The Fields You Can See In Lightroom". In other words, I thought it was just a convenience when you didn't know what field you wanted, or as a shortcut for specifying them all.
    It's possible "All Searchable Metadata" includes fields you can't otherwise see as well, I just don't know - sorry.
    Maybe somebody else knows the answer to your question (you can test this, I just haven't).
    But if you can't get at it via Lr native, try one (or all) of the previously mentioned plugins.
    * AnyFilter can access any info available to the SDK (i.e. available to plugins without resorting to external applications like exiftool), which includes things you can't get at via the native Lr user interface (but it can't get at all exif metadata).
    * ExifMeta can get at all exif metadata.
    * DevMeta is for develop settings metadata and includes a few bonus items.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Easy DMS Search - Characteristic Value Format

    Hi,
    I am having an issue when conducting a document search using classification with a date characteristic.  More specifically, when BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST2 is called, the characteristic value is formatted as DD.MM.YYYY.  When the user setting format is MM/DD/YYYY, the search does not yield any results.  Does anyone know where EasyDMS derives the format it uses when calling the BAPI and how this may be changed?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    You may extract the info using vs studio 2005, by referring the EasyDMSExplorer.tlb file supplied in EasyDMS Installtion. See  wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/cAHEB for example.

  • How to modify the sort criteria for a Metadata Search

    I am migrating from Stellent 7.1 to UCM 10gR3 and have found a difference in the sorting of the output from a search of data/metadata copied from the old version. For the search, I have selected a specific Account with Results Per Page = 2000, Sort By = Title and Ascending set on both the 7.1 and the 10gR3 instances. In the 7.1 instance, the results are sorted by number, then A-Z with no emphasis on case. For the search on the 10gR3 instance, the results are sorted by leading spaces, numbers, capital letters (case), then A-Z.
    Example:
    7.1 Search Results:
    4-up Template
    Active Directory Plan
    ASGV Document
    List of Tools (ignores the space at beginning)
    Zforms
    10gR3 Search Results:
    List of Tools (sees the space at beginning)
    4-up Template
    ASGV Document (lists this before "Active" because it is in all caps)
    Active Directory Plan
    Zforms
    Is there a setting that will allow me to change the 10gR3 instance to match the 7.1 instance?
    Thanks.
