Endeca guided search problem in china!

Question

Hi All,
request: integrate guided search into fatwire, we need to dig the potential ability of mdex in processing the chinese search.
The user guide declares that the Supplemental Language Pack includes support for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean dictionary files.
The main way is to add an auxiliary Chinese segmentation dictionary. also, we can get the some jar packages mentioned in Asian Languages Best Practices_v2.3 - DRAFT.pdf to enhance splitting tokens.
problems follow:
1. the development environment is difficult to build.
1.1 workbench can't be installed well in win2008R2. error message"setup was unable to modify the endeca tools service parameters".
1.2 In oracle linux environment , the main components had been installed.(mdex,workbench,Platform Services,API). the CAS has been installed, but when run ./cas-service.sh, the cursor stop and not any message output. But in workbench(localhost:8006), I can connect the cas server via data source tap.
2. sample application can't be deploy.
2.1 when run ./baseline_update.sh, error like this old thread(Re: Problems with Inital Setup on EC2 Box
06.12.12 04:29:30] SEVERE: Error communicating with EAC agent while starting component.

3. developer studio problem.
I havd builded a test in developer stuido of my client(windows 7), including data, properties, and dimensions. Further, I config some rules and search interfaces. at last, I got some config files with the xml type.
But the problem is that when I intend to send the instance configuration to workbench, I can't find my app(builded via deployment template) from application drop down menu in endeca workbench setting.
But I indeed see myapp in workbench via web browser.
4. workbench and studio can completely replace each other?
I start Dgidx and Mdex in workbench, it output the bellow error message.
how to deal it?
An error occurred while trying to start the component: ENDECA_MDEX_ROOT is required for this component,but eac.properties does not contain a valid ENDECA_MDEX_ROOT definition.: ENDECA_MDEX_ROOT is required for this component,but eac.properties does not contain a valid ENDECA_MDEX_ROOT definition.
anyone can give me some proposal?
Best regards

Answer 1

Sounds like you're experiencing several issues. Let me try to answer a couple of these.
Regarding "Asian Languages Best Practices_v2.3 - DRAFT.pdf", I believe this is an internal only doc. If you're with Oracle, contact the author directly and we can take this subject offline.
Regarding your "ENDECA_MDEX_ROOT" issue, have you checked your %ENDECA_CONF%\conf folders eac.properties file. In it you will see the definition for your com.endeca.mdexRoot. Please make sure that points to your MDEX folder.
For example: I have MDEX 6.2.2 installed in the default directory, so my com.endeca.mdexRoot is set to c:\\Endeca\\MDEX\\6.2.2
3. developer studio problem.

--Did you create your application first using the Deployment template? and run initialize services? Once your application is created via initialize services, you should be able to see your app in workbench.
