IView Explorer-Search

Hi, we are using EP6 SP15 and there is an iView that we used in EP5, called "com.sapportals.km.explorer-search" and it was very useful. In EP6, this iView is now located in pcd:portal_content/com.sap.portal.migrated/ep_5.0/templates/com.sapportals.km.explorer-search. But I got the following JAVA error : System Error
An exception occurred during the program execution. Below you will find technical information pertaining to this exception that you might want to forward to your system administrator.
Exception Class = class java.lang.NullPointerException
Is there another iView in EP6 which does the same thing (as in EP5) or is someone knows what I need to do to correct this error. (No JAVA expertise)
thanks

Hi, this iView is built in 2 parts; the top one is a search component and the bottom is an explorer component. So it allows you to have an iView pointing to a KM folder where you can configure a search capability only inside this folder (or also to the entire portal).
As to create it, I tried to use from the location SAP copied it, then I copy-paste with delta and finally I created from PAR file. In all cases, I got the error message. It looks like if the search capability is not working in this SAP iView.
It is very unfortunate because it is a very useful iView.

Windows Explorer Search problems for PDF's - Windows 7 - Acrobat 10.x and 11.x

Hello,
If this is in the wrong forum please move it.
I work in an enterprise environment and our systems are having trouble searching file contents in Windows Explorer using Acrobat X and Windows 7 32 bit. The files are on a mapped network location.
After removing all adobe products from a test machine and reinstalling the Acrobat 10.0.0 software the windows explorer search function seems to work locally but once I install Acrobat 10.1.anything update, it will fail. It never worked on a networked location.
I have also tried installing Adobe Acrobat 11.0.00 after removing 10.0. Then I made sure my indexing settings were setup to index files and contents and made sure the .pdf extension was selected under file types.
I then created a mapped drive to the network location, and setup my indexing to the folder on that network drive. I was able to do this by installing this Microsoft Add-in that allows use of UNC paths in the indexing.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3383
Once I set this up, I rebuilt my index and restarted the computer. This is where it gets weird. I can now search the contents of PDF files in this indexed network location, but only by one letter. Searching "c type:pdf" will produce results, but "co type:pdf" will not. I know for sure some of the documents have the work Comment in there so this should should up.
Does anyone have experience getting this to work correctly with the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat X or XI and Windows 7 32 bit? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I am surprised you got a search of contents to work in Win7. MS changed the process and I have not seen a fix as there was with XP. The search engine of Win7 was designed only to search MS documents and other designated documents from MS. For Win7, the solution is typically to use a third party search engine. I had to use a 3rd party program when I was searching the content of non-MS files. An additional issue with a PDF is that it is a binary file and you may not find text or such, particularly if encryption is set.

Exclude Folders from showing in Windows Explorer Search Results

When using Windows 7 Explorer search function, both folders and files are displayed in the results. I need to have a way to see only the files/documents not the folders. I still want the files in subfolders to be included, I just don't need
to see the folder name appear in the list as this makes the results much to long. Is there any way to do this?

That's quick :)
Anyways, you can also refer this URL : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-tms/how-do-exclude-folders-from-windows-search/58f845f6-d6fa-449e-a921-52be453038f1
Just add a minus sign, that's it..

Issue with Windows Explorer search function and network shares.

Hello all,
I hope all is well, I am having a very odd issue.
One user when they access a particular network drive, and try to use the explorer search function it prompts the following error
Runtime error
Program:
This application has requested the runtime to terminate in a unusual way. Please contact application team for support.
I have checked the event viewer on both the user machine and server hosting the share, not events show up regarding the issue.
I have tried with the user machine in safe mode with networking, and the issue still occurs
It of course is not telling which application or program is causing this.
I have confirmed all windows updates are up to date.
I have gone to the windows search in services and swapped the 1 for a 0, that opened up three of the four network drives for search
the last one is still causing this error.
User computer is windows 7 professional 64 bit
server is windows server 2012 64 bit.
I am at a total loss as to why this is happening on two machines out of ten.
any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Josh

Hi Josh,
What operation did the user act and how to use the explorer search function to cause the issue? Please check if the issue still exists after the user does the same action locally.
You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:

MDM iView Wizard: Search Table doesnt populate any value.

Hello all,
I am trying to create MDM Resultset IView using MDM IView wizard in portal.
I do not get any value in the dropdown of Search Table.
I have created an MDM system and assigned a repository to it.
The wizard doesnt allow me to go ahead without selecting search table parameter from the dropdown.
Techincal details:
MDM: 5.5
EP:- 2004 SP 16.
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
After creating an MDM system and assigning a repository, you need to right-click on the system, and then choose System Aliases. Define an "alias" and save it.
Now go to User Administration -> Identity Management.
Select the User/Role/Group you want to assign to the System.
Click the User Mapping for System Access tab, and click Modify.
Select the system alias from the drop-down box, and map it to an MDM user. Note that in NW 7 (NW04s), the user must have a password, so you may need to configure this first in the MDM Console.
Save the mapping, return to the System Administration -> System Configuration screen.
Locate your system, right-click it, and select Connection Tests. Test the connection. If it succeeds, you are now ready to create MDM iViews using this system.

Bank Information iView - Bank Search

Hello All,
I am having trouble with the Bank Information iView while trying to use the search functionality. If I hit an open search, it works fine. But if I put in "Bank Of", it does not bring up any results. Also, when I just put in a city and leave rest of the fields blank, nothing comes up. Does anyone know what might be going wrong and how to get this search working correctly?
Thanks,
Nakul

Nakul,
Please make sure you are giving the exact search criteria(case sensitive may be).
run rfc trace in st01 and st05 and find out the RFC's and debug them and find out the exact problem
Thanks

Explorer Search Case Sensitive?

The search functionality in Explorer is case sensitive. Is there a way to make the search functionality be case insensitive?

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the reply. This isn't about Bex though it is about Business Objects Explorer. I originally posted this in the Other Business Objects forum but a forum Admin moved it here because they said I had posted to the wrong forum. It was in the correct forum to begin with. If SAP were more thoughtful about how they named products they would not have created this confusion by renaming Polestar to be the same name as an exisating product.

Implement Outlook iview or Search iview etc...

Hello,
I want to implement a portal page showing different purpose iviews.
I am new to this,so I read some weblogs and search the forum try to get some thread to achieve the goal.But after doing this I still sort of being confused...
I try my best to show my doubt clearly...
The first thing is to install EP60_SP4 & PDK_EP6.0_60_2_2,right???(Does EP60_SP4 sneak preview really take between 4 and 8 hours to install??? Could I instead of EP6.0_60_3???)
Next,should I install Business Package for Portal Development Kit??Any thing else should I install???(like WAS,KM,SQL server...)
Could anybody give me some documents or something let me to study step by step...
Thanks for any help & Best Regards
Tony

Hi Tony,
first, to install a "fresh" portal really takes time, but your advantage will be that you learn how to install a portal, after that you know something others don't
Second, for EP6 SP4, use the PDK for SP3 (60.3), not 60.2.2.
The basis for the portal is SQL Server & WAS; you can install KM or let it out, depending if you want to experiment with it (I suppose to install, because it's really important in my view).
You will find the quick installation guide here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/installation guide ep sneak preview sp4.pdf
Hope this helps

Iview to search iviews?

As we develop more and more iviews, it get increasingly hard for our portal users to find the iviews the want. I was hopeing for an iview that can search for iviews. Portal seems to already have a way for developers to search the Portal Catalog. This seems to be implemented in:
Content Administration -> Portal Content under the search tab.
I was wondering if there is a way to get the source code of this Portal search function, so that I can try to possible add some more functionality and put it into a par file and use it as an iview.
Thank you for any help
David
P.S. Very new to the forums, not really sure how the reward points work. Any pointers on how to reward people would be appreciated as well.

Hi Sunil,
This is the default behaviour which cant be changed. I tried this thing and I observed that if child node contains the search pattern then only it will display the entire path from root node till the child that contains the search text because it starts traversing from the top and moves till the leaf.
If your tree is some what looks like this then only it is possible to achieve the expected behaviour.

IView to search vendor code based on Vendor Name

Hi Guys
We have developed an Web Template in BW 3.5 to browse quality score for our suppliers. The selection screen is expecting to have a Vendor Code Number being input. However, our management is not always aware of the code. The dimension used in 0VENDOR. Did somebody create an application (BSP, JSP, ...)to we could put in a EP6 iView that would allow me to enter a partial segment of a vendor name , it would go either in R3 or BW, and it would return all the vendor code(s) containing the segment and then I would be able to choose the vendor code i want to extract data from... Basically something similar than performing a search from MK03
Thanks!

How to re-size the explorer search box. - Large text size.

I cannot resize the address or search windows in Windows Explorer, Windows 7 Pro. I do have the text size set up to 200%. No, the user isn't blind, but this is one of those new Dell Laptops with the 3200x1800 resolution. I have read in
other forums about setting the text to below 185%, but nothing official from Microsoft... So, Microsoft, how do I resize these input boxes.
Thanks
Ken

Hi,
So the main issue is that you're unable to adjust the length of the address\search box even draging them as we mentioned in previous post, right?
If so, we can control this via registry, I did some tests, this settings is related with
HKU\user SID \Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell\NavBar
the user sid is a series of number, as pictuure below:
since the value of NavBar is Binary, hard to edit, so we can find export the key or whole key "shell" from another system or another account which is function fine, then import the registry key to the problematic system, this can change the ratio of the
two boxes.
Import or Export Keys
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755091.aspx
After importing the key, press F5 to refresh registry, then reopen Windows Explorer.

Power Manager crash with with Explorer searches

Hi,
I had the same problem with ver. 6.07 repeating over and over again during last few days. It started when I switched the Explorer file search parameter from "search file names only" to "search file names and content" (Tools > Folder Options > Search > ...).
This morning I switched back to "search file names only" and no crashes so far...

The steps to reproduce the error are those I outlined above; the issue reproduces on my equipment 100% of the time. With the system booted and running normally:
1) Click the taskbar's 'Start' button.
2) In the 'Search programs and files' textbox, enter any two characters (e.g. 'ab')
3) A Power Manager dialog is displayed stating that "Power Manager has stopped working...To search for an update that will resolve this issue, click Next..."
4) Click 'Next'. A Power Manager dialog is displayed stating "No update exists to resolve this problem."
5) Click 'OK'. A Power Manager dialog is displayed stating, "Lenovo is constantly working to improve driver and software quality. Unfortunately, we did not identify a solution to this issue at this time. It is recommended to send an Error Report to Microsoft to help track the resolution to this problem. Click Next to report this problem
6) Click 'Next'. A Windows Explorer dialog is displayed offering three options: a) 'Check online for a solution and restart the program', b) 'Restart the program', and c) 'Debug the program'. There is also a 'View problem details' button.
7) Clicking the 'View problem details' button yields the following

Additional Information 4:                  b4bd3537dddea6bb1063e81566f4d641
Clicking the 'Check online for a solution and restart the program' yields no solution; it simply restarts Windows Exporer.
If you want someone to 'provide a crash dump', you'd be wise not to assume they have the requisite knowledge to perform such a task.

How can I send explorer search to Adobe support?

I have pieces (49 files) of Acrobat and Reader on my Windows XP and am trying to send the explorer query results to Adobe support to find out what to keep and what to safely delete and have not been able to find a way to do this. In trying to free up memory, I may have (probably did) remove parts of Acrobat from the wrong location. Adobe is using up a lot of memory. Please help.

You can always do a screen capture.
But this isn't really an Acrobat related question. More of an OS related question.
