How to implement type-ahead for search

Hi there,
I would like to have type-ahead for my endeca. e.g. if user clicks on search box and type"g", it should show all items starts with g.
How can I do that? I have only three dimensions : PRIRCERANGE, category and flex. And I have 3 properties: description, color, price, uom, sku etc.

Endeca exposes webservice that can be accessed by xquery library provided by endeca. You can write your own xquery module to fetch dimension query result, format and use as a output to type-ahead.
Refer below xquery guide to get more details about developing
your own xquery module,

How to implement Top navigation in endeca

Hi,
How do I implement top nav in endeca instead of left nav? Currently the top nav that I have is simply the same as left nav, so on selecting refinements, the top nav gets filtered and disappears. Please help with this!
Thanks!

User975726,
There are various approaches that you can use to build your Top Navigation. I can't give yu a full solution on this forum but here are a few thoughts to get started. I am going to assume that you can use presentation API to build your application.
Execute a seperate N=0 with all dimensions exposed and use the navigation object to build your top menu. Note that exposing all refinements is expensive and if you have hierarchical dimension then all the nodes will not be exposed at the same time. Cache the menu at a session or application level if possible.
If you have hierachical dimension then you might want to build an offline process that executes a seperate query for each node and builds and caches the entire top menu. It might not be a bad idea to do this offline (after baseline or partials) and store the results as xml or json that your application can then use to construct the menu.
If you are not using the Url Optimization API then you can also use the actual dimension xml to build your menu. This will be a bit more complicated if autogen and external dimensions are to be included but is an option.
I am sure one can come up with other alternatives but in general try to build your menu and cache it. Also keep in mind that the process can get more complecated if you have record filters and roles or other parameters to consider.
IHTH.
Best,
Kaush

How to disable type ahead feature?

Is there a way to disable the type ahead feature?
It's annoying to constantly have to pause typing while the app retrives a table list, field list, or anticipated keyword list.

Endeca Type Ahead Search

Hi,
We are working on ATG 10.2 with Endeca 3.1.2 integration and are exploring different ways of type ahead searches. The required functionality is to achieve similar suggestions like google search from the catalog data. The Endeca Experience Manager out of box has cartridges which query dimension search for this feature, apart from these do we have any other endeca specific APIs to achieve the same functionality.

Implementation of type-ahead functionality in Endeca JSP Ref application

Hi all,
I am trying to implement the type-ahead functionality in Endeca jsp reference application which Oracle is shipping with it's products. The type-ahead functionality is not present by default. Can anyone help me to implement the same thing or provide sample code/strategy to achieve the desired results ?
Basically typeahead functionality is present in Endeca Information's quick start's search box (EID) but not it JSP reference application .
Waiting for the replies...
Regards,
Hoque

Type-ahead functionality can mean different things and be implemented in different ways. It is usually based on what behavior your user-space would benefit from.
In the commerce space, one popular use-case is to return Category matches based on what a user has started typing. Within Endeca, this boils down to doing a dimension search and having the Category dimension enabled for dimension search. If a user starts typing "cam", the type-ahead would then recommend:
Category: Cameras
You can match on multiple dimensions though, so long as they are enabled for dimension search. For example, if a user starts typing "ca", the type-ahead could return:
Category: Cameras
Brand: Canon
Furthermore, this behavior can be extended by enabling Compound Dimension Search. Compound Dimension Search is enabled via a flag on the dgidx process and on your ENEQuery. It provides the following behavior. If a user searches for "canon cam", it would suggest:
Category: Cameras + Brand: Canon
Clicking on the type-ahead would return the intersection of Category = Cameras and Brand = Canon, eliminating a click if the user is after Canon brand Cameras.
With regards to implementation, it basically boils down to an AJAX call to a service/URL that responds with dimension search results. Then populate an empty <div> with links.
Other scenarios involve returning Product/Record matches instead of Dimension matches.

You were able to get OWB11g to move data?
Are you running on a 64-bit windows server? I could not get it to do a basic data move on this type of server install.

How can I restore "type ahead" Search suggestions?

Back in the good old days of Safari 3 (and 4?) it had a useful trick of auto-completing phrases as you started typing in the Google Search field. It stopped working in Safari 5, so I was directed to Glims for Safari, which worked great.
Up until last week, although the Links part of Glims didn't work, the Search Words (i.e. type ahead) did work so I was happy enough. Now it's stopped. I download the latest Glims and now I have the Links working, but not the type ahead Search Words!
In Safari I've changed my New Tab default page from Top Sites to Google UK Home page instead. This loads much quicker than Top Sites and the cursor is in the Search field. Typing anything brings "type ahead search suggestions".
Is this my only option? Anyone know why Glims should suddenly stop doing what it used to?

For an issue with Glims, better to ask the developers of the software.
You can report a bug here > http://www.machangout.com
If you are a Facebook user, you can Like Glims then ask questions directly on their news feed. They will respond.
For Safari, make sure: Prevent search engine from providing suggestions is not selected in Preferences > Privacy
And try this for Safari...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

How to implement a parallel approval?

Hi, all.
My process has a parallel approval, but I have no idea how to implement it.
I have a task which has to be approved by three different managers parallelly.
If all of them approve the task, then the task will keep going, otherwise the task fails.
Besides I also have to monitor which manager doesn`t make a decision yet.
Can any have the same requirement with mine?

Hi Louis,
I think this document do provide some steps for creating parallel blocks approval type.Hoping this might resolve or act as help in the query you are facing.Link : [parallel|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8269bdb8-0701-0010-4692-c3349106ec66].

JComboBox with type-ahead capabilities?

Hi, guys:
I have a JComboBox with a list of string items. Since the list is very long (with several hundred of items), I would like to implement someting like
the following so that use does not have to scroll down the list to search for an item: when user types the starting letter of an item, it should locate the first item starting with this letter. IE address bar has this kind of type-ahead capability
I am wondering how I can do the similar thing using Swing JComboBox?

Thanks for your sample, it works.
Here is the "old code" I am talking about. I slightly modified it and add a main method. It looks fine, but it just does not work. I really have no clue why this one just does not work:

Can't Figure Out How To Implement IEnumerable T

I have no problem implementing IEnumerable but can't figure out how to implement IEnumerable<T>. Using the non-generic ArrayList, I have this code:
class PeopleCollection : IEnumerable
ArrayList people = new ArrayList();
public PeopleCollection() { }
public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
return people.GetEnumerator();
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
PeopleCollection collection = new PeopleCollection();
foreach (Person p in collection)
Console.WriteLine(p);
I'm trying to do the same thing (using a List<Person> as the member variable instead of ArrayList) but get compile errors involving improper return types on my GetEnumerator() method. I start out with this:
class PeopleCollection : IEnumerable<Person>
List<Person> myPeople = new List<Person>();
public PeopleCollection() { }
public IEnumerator<Person> GetEnumerator()
throw new NotImplementedException();
IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
throw new NotImplementedException();
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
// Create a PeopleCollection object.
PeopleCollection peopleCollection = new PeopleCollection();
// Iterate over the collection.
foreach (Person p in peopleCollection)
Console.WriteLine(p);
Console.ReadLine();
That code compiles (basically because I haven't really done anything yet), but I get compile errors when I try to implement the GetEnumerator() methods.

The List<T> class implements the IEnumerable<T> interface, so your enumerator can return the GetEnumerator call from the list.
class PeopleCollection : IEnumerable<Person>
List<Person> myPeople = new List<Person>();
public PeopleCollection() { }
public IEnumerator<Person> GetEnumerator()
return myPeople.GetEnumerator();
IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
return myPeople.GetEnumerator();
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
// Create a PeopleCollection object.
PeopleCollection peopleCollection = new PeopleCollection();
// Iterate over the collection.
foreach (Person p in peopleCollection)
Console.WriteLine(p);
Console.ReadLine();

How to implement multiple Value Helps within the same Application ??

Dear Experts,
I want to implement multiple value helps in the same view.For that I have declared exporting parameters of type 'wdy_key_value_table.' within the component controller for each of the value helps.While I do activate and test the application I get the following error :
The following error text was processed in the system HE6 : A row with the same key already exists.
The error occurred on the application server hsdnt24s11_HE6_00 and in the work process 4 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

I dont know how to implement multiple value helps.Need your help on this.

Mamai.

Hi
Hint is : A row with the same key already exists it means , It is assigning the same value/Key to row and you are calling it at WDDOINIT so it giving error at the time of initialization .
Better way to do the coding at some event in view OR if not possible than just execute the first value help in wddoinit later clear all the value before gettig the other Value help. Code it at WdDoModify View to get its run time behaviour.

How to implement Strategy pattern in ABAP Objects?

Hello,
I have a problem where I need to implement different algorithms, depending on the type of input. Example: I have to calculate a Present Value, sometimes with payments in advance, sometimes payment in arrear.
From documentation and to enhance my ABAP Objects skills, I would like to implement the strategy pattern. It sounds the right solution for the problem.
Hence I need some help in implementing this pattern in OO. I have some basic OO skills, but still learning.
Has somebody already implemented this pattern in ABAP OO and can give me some input. Or is there any documentation how to implement it?
Thanks and regards,
