Full-text serching errors

Hi,
I have configured oracle webcenter content 11g as following to support the search full-text.
SearchIndexerEngineName=DATABASE.FULLTEXT
The used database is oracle DB express 10g.
When I rebuild the search index using the Repository Manager, the system cannot index the most of documents and I get the following error:
ActiveIndex 'index1' is not valid in indexer engine 'DATABASE.FULLTEXT'. Please rebuild your collection.
Thank for your answers.
Regards,

Hi,
After configuring UCM as described above, I launched the rebuild process and I get the following error:

Error returned in Acrobat X Pro when attempting to output pdf full text from Proquest database.

Contacted Proquest and they said to contact Adobe. Recently installed CS5, so I now have newer Acrobat version from before. This newer version isn't playing well. Can anyone help?
This is my original plea to Proquest:
Description:
Recently had Adobe Creative Suite (CS5) installed on my machine. Now when I attempt to download full text pdf I receive an error message when trying to open the downloaded file. "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I can view pdf within Proquest window, but problems occur when I try to open the download - defaults to Acrobat X Pro, not standard Reader. I also get an error message when trying to email it. The only outputting method that seems to work is the Export/Save option.
I tried on another machine that uses Acrobat Reader XI and all worked fine.
BTW - I am working in Firefox.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Here are some screenshots:

"A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded." + Full-text-index Sql Server 2008 R2 SP1

Hello.
I have a problem with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1:
I have a table with the full-text index-activated on 3 fields of type nvarchar.
When I try to open a transaction (ex: BEGIN TRAN {inserts} COMMIT) to insert multiple rows, I get the following error: "A severe error occurred on the current command ...".
I checked the Sql Server Logs and the Event Viewer on the machine, but nothing was logged.
I found a workaround: disable full-text-index => Do stuff => enable full-text-index, but this is very annoying (especially when i use the Data Compare to update that table on the Development Environment).
Help!!!

I concur with Tom. Upgrade to SP3. This may resolve the issue.
Since you say that there is nothing in the SQL Server errorlog, this may be an API issue. Try running the same commands through the command-line tools SQLCMD or OSQL to see how this turns out.

Full text not getting displayed while using RSRT

Hi,
I am facing issue while downloading data using RSRT in BI system.
When I go to RSRT and execute a report the output doesn't display full text for a characteristic. i.e. the characteristic has a size of 60 characters, but only 30 chars ( approx) are being displayed as report output in RSRT.
COuld anyone here please help me in getting the full text using RSRT transaction?
I am not using Bex here for the reason that the output has more than 1.8 lac records and hence I get an error while using Bex
WHen I try to execute this report using Bex for a small selection I could see full text there.
And there is no text master data maintained for this characteristic.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi,
As you said you have 1.8 Lac records, There is no point in increasing the size to maximum number possible i.e 65K .
You have following three options to satisfy your requirement.:
1.    Usage of web reporting for export of more than 65k rows. According the note: 1127156 - Safety belt: Result set is too large, in BW version 7.x it I possible to set parameters that would allow such a massive export of data.
2.    Functionality of OpenHubs. Data can be placed directly into the files (e.g. in CSV format) on application server. Be careful here OpenHubs are specially licensed and by using it there are additional fees.
3.    Coding of custom ABAP report which runs BW query and gets all its output and saves it in the flat files.
Please let me know if this info is helpful.

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:

Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12705

I am getting the message "Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12705" when trying to connect to a remote oracle database on the network.
I can access this database using:
sqlplus username/password@database
from a dos prompt.
For some reason I can't connect when using PHP (through my local Apache2 server on Windows XP).
'phpinfo' says oracle in enabled (installed as per: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html), so I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with php itself.
My guess is it's something with Apache, and maybe environment variables or user permissions or instantclient (10).
All the folders, from instantclient to the Apache server have full permissions set for "Everyone" which I would assume includes this mysterious "nobody" user I've read about.
As for instantclient, I have placed that "tnsnames.ora" file from the oracle server there, and that hasn't changed much.
I've tried setting, unsetting, editing (environment variables):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID
TNS_ADMIN
NLS_LANG
ORA_NLS33
in both the system environment, and even with PHP's "putenv" function. (Note: and restarting each time I changed a system var.)
In PHP i'm using:
$c = oci_connect("username","pasword", "database")
I've tried OCILogon instead of oci_connect
For "database" I've tried:
- using the path to the oracle db: //Oracle1/e/oracle/ora81
- mapping the path to x: drive and using: x:/oracle/ora81
- using the name of the database by itself
- using the name of the database underscored with the database name
- using "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=database)))"
I have tried everything I can find from:
the Oracle installation page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html
the Oracle troubleshooting page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/htdocs/php_troubleshooting_faq.html#connect
and these forumswith no results, just the same error.
I have also spent about 16 hours Googling for help, and nothing.
Can someone please tell me, what exactly does a user using:
Windows XP
Apache 2
PHP
intantclient10
Oracle 8i (on a remote server)
need to do to connect to Oracle before jumping off a bridge?

Turns out Oracle was previously installed on this company laptop :(
I deleted any 'Oracle' mention in the registry with 'regedit' (from the command line) using the Find option. Not sure if it's always a good idea to do that, but I backed up the important stuff first anyway.
I uninstalled and reinstalled everything using the same guide mentioned above, and then it worked.
Now I can be friends with Oracle again.
Would be nice if the "Deinstall" removed the registry entries that caused this issue...

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition and Full Text Indexing

Hello, we have recently upgraded our web front end server from SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition (in conjuction with upgrading our main production servers to SQL 2008 R2 Standard). We have 12 Databases on our production
SQL Server that are replicated to our web frontend server to the SQL Express instance. One of these databases has a FULL TEXT INDEX. The production database is running the Adobe iFilter version 9 64Bit. The FULL TEXT CATALOG has been created and populated
and performs searches as intended. However, upon replication, when using the search option on our web page based on that PDF iFilter, it no longer works. After examining the properties of the FULL TEXT CATALOG, we note that the Catalog size on the subscriber
end is 0MB in size (whereas it is 3MB on the Publication side). Also the Unique Key Count on the subscriber side is '1' whereas on the publisher side it is 30,000+. After examining the FT Indexing logs on the subscriber side shows an error: "Warning: No appropriate
filter was found during full-text index population" On the subscriber side which is running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, Adobe Reader 10.1.1 is installed (all 32Bit) with the Adobe iFilter AcroRdIF.dll. When running the SELECT
* from sys.fulltext_document_types T-Sql statement, the list returned shows the PDF filter to be installed and shows the correct path. Under the System Environment Variables, that path has also been installed (from previous recommendations in researching this
problem). After numerous reboots, service restarts and re-attempts to get the FT Daemon to crawl - no success. Can anyone please help with this problem? Is there something I am missing? In an attempt to work around this problem thinking there might be a version
conflict between the 64Bit version on the publisher and the 32Bit version on the subscriber, I disabled the replication of the FULL TEXT CATALOG and tried to create a new catalog on the subscriber with the same results. Thank you for your answers in advance
- Fustrated! Sorry, somehow this got posted originally under Server Design

Hello Jeff hope your still out there. I wrote this question 2 years ago and upgraded to SQL Express with advanced services. Full Text replication worked until last week. We are operating in a virtual environment. My publisher box
is a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) with SQL Server Standard Edition. My Web front subscriber is a Windows 2003 R2 (32bit) Server with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 with Advanced Services. Now the exact same thing is happening after 2+ years.
We are looking for possible updates that might have broken this but I am stretching that. Any clues please? 32bit vs. 64bit?

Adobe PDF iFilter SQL Server 2008 R2 Full Text not working

Unable to get the SQL Server 2008 R2 to index PDF files for full-text searching.
Environment: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise 64-bit, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP3 64-bit, Adobe Reader 11.x
Installed PDF iFilter 64 (11.0.01) from
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5542
Added its folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platforms\bin\;) to the PC system Path variable. Rebooted PC.
Confirmed SQL Server sees the Adobe PDF iFilter ..... SELECT * from sys.fulltext_document_types where document_type = '.pdf'
Inserted PDF files to my table (see below for CREATE statement).
The SQLFT log says ... Warning: No appropriate filter was found during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[TestDB].[dbo].[pdfifiltertable]' (table or indexed view ID '2105058535', database ID '7'), full-text key value '1'.
Some columns of the row were not indexed.
Installed other filters for Office. Added files of type DOC, XPS. Confirmed the search query works for those file types. So as such SQL Full-Text is enabled and working.
Below my T-SQL commands:
Exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1
Exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0
Exec sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
CREATE TABLE pdfifiltertable(
PdfID INT IDENTITY NOT NULL,
PdfFileName VARCHAR(MAX),
Ext VARCHAR(10) ,
PdfText VARBINARY(MAX),

GO
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG pdfCatalog AS DEFAULT
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON pdfifiltertable([PdfText] Type column [Ext]
) KEY INDEX PK_PdfID with change_tracking auto
GO
SELECT pdfFileName FROM pdfifiltertable WHERE CONTAINS(pdftext, 'payment')

What edition are you using? Like is it SQL-Express or SQL-Standard etc.

Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

Database Services Engine Failed, SQL Server Replication Failed, Full Text Search Failed, Reporting Services Failed

Hello,
I am trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. I get the error bellow (Database Services Engine Failed, SQL Server Replication Failed, Full Text Search Failed, Reporting Services Failed). I already have a copy of SQL Server 2008 R2 on the machine.

Hello,
If you see error descriptioon it gives access denied so basically it is because of some access issue.I guess You must be using some domin account for installation make sure it is added as local administrator also instead of using NT Authority network
service as SQL server service account use local system account .
Below link would help
http://serverfault.com/questions/212135/access-is-denied-error-installing-sql-server-2008-on-windows-7
You can also browse to setup.exe file and RK on it and select run as administrator

Full-text Search in RoboHelp

I have downloaded JavaHelp using Sun Download Manager (download and extract JavaHelp) to activate Full-text Search in RoboHelp. But, while generating Help in RoboHelp, I get an error that JavaHelp is not installed. I am not able to understand how to Install JavaHelp. Please help.

That's the way it worked in X4 and later versions up but not including RH8. RH8 includes phrase searching in webhelp.

Full-Text Search has not worked since we upgraded to 2012

I have a filestream database and table. Our full-text searches have always worked until we upgraded to SQL 2012 in December. Now, no file that has been uploaded since December is searchable. What has gone wrong here. It should have been
a clean upgrade. We are not getting any error messages. We are just not getting any records returned when we search on a word that we know are in the documents we've uploaded since December (for instance, the word 'aluminum').
Filestream is enabled for the instance.
A full-text catalog exists and contains a full-text index (the same one we've always had). Full-text indexing is ENABLED.
I've tried rebuilding the catalog and the index. I've tried to do a FULL POPULATION on the table.
We haven't changed our queries nor the way the files are uploaded.
Nothing works. I have been a database administrator since the SQL 2005 days and I have never seen anything like this.
Please help.

Hi GINGER PIERCE,
Since the issue regards SQL Server Search. I will help you post the question in the related forums. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
According to your description, in theory , if you can do a full-text search for SQL Server 2008, when upgrading the SQL Server version from 2008 to 2012, the Full text indexing feature should be run well in SQL Server 2012 databases. If not , you can try
to restore your database from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012, create an new Full-Text Catalog and Index on the table or view in the database, and then use Full Text Index to search words, phrases and multiple forms of word or phrase via FREETEXT() and
CANTAINS() with “and” or “or” operators. check if it is normal that the full-text search feature is enabled in the SQL Server 2012 instance. For more information , see:
Full Text Search step by step in SQL Server 2012.
Note: In SQL Server 2012 SP1 ， the server will report that Full Text Search is not supported in this edition of SQL Server when it clearly is. The workaround is to create the initial catalog by using a T-SQL query:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG
In addition, since it is a fileStream database, we need to verify if you do Full Text Searches on documents in FileTables, if yes, you should enable FileStream database for your SQL Server, and enable FileTable options for the database. For more information,
see:
Full Text Searches on Documents in FileTables.

Full-text search not available after upgrade from SQL 2008 R2 Std to SQL 2012 Std

We upgraded our production SQL Server from 2008 R2 Std to 2012 Std last week, and the installation logs show everything was successful, but now we are unable to do any searches against our full-text indexes. The resulting error is as follows:
"Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded."
When executing the query "SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('ISFULLTEXTINSTALLED')", the result is "0". The "Full-Text Daemon Launcher service is also running. When running installation again to add the feature, it shows
"Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search" as being installed and unavailable for selection in the list of features to add. As a side note, we did the same upgrade in our identical QA environment before production and everything was successful
and full-text searches are working correctly. We have run the "Repair" routine in the SQL Installation Center and it did not correct the problem.
The full-text catalogs still appear when browsing through the GUI in SSMS or querying sys.fulltext_indexes and sys.fulltext_index_columns. It is not possible to view the properties of the catalog in SSMS, though, as the GUI throws an error and an empty
dialog box is shown. Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
AJ

I have no idea what is going, but assuming that it is a little pressing to get this fix, I think the best path in this case is to open a case with Microsoft.
