KM and Trex index

Hi
I have a requirement to create a small search application that would have to search in TREX which already has the indices related to CRM catalogs. I am aware that TREX does not have APIs exposed directly, but can be indirectly accessed through KM. Although I have the code to search and display search results from the existing active indexes, I dont know how to create or connect the KM to the Trex index.
What configuration do I have to do in KM to get hold of these indexes in TREX?
Thanks
OJ

Transporting KM documents and TREX indexes

Hi,
We are planning to transport KM contents with folder permissions and their asscoiated TREX indexes to a new set of EP-KMC and TREX system.
Can KM migration tool be used for transporting contents from one server to another with permissions.. Or shud we use ICE? Is there any recommended way ?
How do we transport serach indexes from one server TREx installion to another of the same version..
Any help ?
Regards
Bharathwaj

Hi Bharathwaj,
At the moment, the normal way to transport KM content (including ACL) is the ICE way. There are some known restrictions, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e2/61701deb253242bea2ebeafa190e83/frameset.htm , but if you can live with that, it's the most straight forward way.
I'm unsure if the migration tool can do that / how easy that would be; never used it.
A real KM transport tool will be part of the next major release...
TREX indexes are not transportable at the moment. You have to re-create them on the target system.
Hope it helps

Hi there,
I just read this thread, and maybe someone here can answer my current trex question:
I have created an ordinary CM repository, and created an index with this repository as source. Now the problem: I would like to exclude files in the repository with specific mimetypes from the TREX indexing process.
I have verified that the TrexValidMimetypes.ini does not contain any reference to the Mimetypes I'm creating, but never the less, the document titles are searchable and are returned when searching.
How do I get around this issue?
Is it possible in NW04 or EP6.0 SP3 PXXX??

Hco

Build Up new TREX index category and leave old catgory for search requests

Hello All,
we are using TREX 7.1 in a SAP Netweaver Environment only for a full text search in transaction CV04N. The TREX Server is running on a Unix machine.
But no we have a problem that our current productive index category contains an inconsistent tempterm failure. Because of this failure it might be that the search result list may not contain all documents for the search query
Therefore we have to rebuild our big index in a complete new index category. And because this takes a lot of time we would not have all of our documents searchable in the index.
Now my question: Is it possible to use the existing index category to search after documents whereas a new index category will be build up in an initial and incremental indexing process (BOTH FROM THE SAME SAP SYSTEM)?
THANKS.
Christian

Hi,
Now for the step activate index category enter the search server id TREX_SSR as you have created. keep it as it is.
Then check for the rfc destinations if its fine and the link is made.
Now after that you will create the index category so only refer to the last step(split in multiple to create the index category as in the document).
Regards,
Divya

How to prepare high volume segmentation on crm and trex 7.1

Hi,
I have trex 7.1 connected to our crm system.
I have set up esh on the web ui.
Now I would like to use high volume segmentation.
So therefore i have created a datasource in crmd_mktds on both an "Attribute Set" and InfoSet.
Then I have created attribute list for high volume segmentation.
But I can't see the columns indicating that fast find is in use.
Our CRM system is:
SAP_ABA = SAPKA70106
kr
Michael Wolff
Update:
I solved this.
I forgot to define RFC destination for TREX index and fast find under marketing -> segmentation.
So now everything works

TREX indexing from content server(maxdb)

Hello.
I've installed standalone TREX on Linux, configured the connection to R3 system and to Portal as well. On the R3 I have configured connection to the SAP Content serve(via archive link) where we save some documents(pdf, doc. files). The part which I don't understand is how can I configure the repository of the content server as a source for the Trex index?
Any hint would be useful. Thanks in advance.
Vit

Hi,
the question is what exactly do you wanna do?
Integrating a archivelink in the Portal or indexing the documents via ERP?
In the first case you must create a web repository and define an index.
In the other case it depends on the SAP Solution but mostly you have to customize the SM59, SRMO, SKPR06.

Use KM and TRex with Webbdynpro ABAP

Hello gurus,
I need to use WebDynpro ABAP with KM and Trex. Anyone have a statement or case-study?
Thanks Regards

I tried it. It is technically possible but I'm not sure it is the best approach except that you run in Abap stack and you can use ALV...
So it possible to create a WDA that call portal web service. See that blog:
Getting started with the KM Web Service API
There is service for repository and for index management.
You can test this service with WS Navigator.
To use it in WDA, you have to:
- create an Abap proxy (generate classes to call method/web service);
- create a logical port (that generate a RFC destination -> depend on system and allow to select connection type. See SOAMANAGER transaction);
- integrate web service call in WDA -> right clic on component and choosse create service call.
Best regards.

Extending TREX indexes

Hi Experts,
may I request, can anyone suggest whether it is possible to extend TREX indexes, how it is done, if it possible to extend the search interfaces for TREX in ABAP?
With unfeigned regards,
Ramana Malladi

Hi,
It seems that you have not the actual TREX version and there is some database incompatibilities.
Download the actual version from service.sap.com:
TREX 6.1 for Search and Classif. (TREX) (From SP000 To SP025 or higher (Recommendation: SP027))

Portal Search Not Working - Only Returns Portal Content, Not TREX Indexes

I have configured two indexes using the portal. One is for documents that reside on the portal, and the other one is for a website that we have configured in TREX using Cruiser. The TREX Admin console shows that the website information has been indexed. However, when I search on a word in Portal, only the portal contents are displayed. Is there a different search field for looking up TREX/indexed files? I'm using the search field that's on the front page of the portal. Also, both indexes belong to the same index group. I did use the serach feature built-in to TREX Admin to verify that there were documents stored in the index.

Where are TREX index stored? TREX server File system? or KM repository?

hi, friends:
can someone tell me where are TREX index stored ?
in TREX server file system?
or in portal KM repository? file system or DB?
thank you
Carol

Carol,
TREX is a separate product. During installation and configuration of TREX you connect it to the portal. The search iViews of the portal will use the configured TREX server to do the actual search:

Searching TREX Index through Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I'm trying to search through my TREX indexes with Web Dynpro. I have found some sources on this website and they seem to work, but when I test my Application, the table I want to fill stays empty.
The strange thing is that the "getNumberResultKeys()" variable is returning a correct value, but that the "ISearchResultList" stays empty.
I'm a newbie in Web Dynpro, so any help will be appreciated!
I wrote the following code:
     try{
          com.sap.security.api.IUser nwUser = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser();
          com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user;
          user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(nwUser);
          ResourceContext resourseContext = new ResourceContext(user);
          IIndexService indexService = (IIndexService)ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory().getService ( "IndexmanagementService");
          IFederatedSearch federatedSearch = (IFederatedSearch)indexService.getObjectInstance("federatedSearchInstance");
          List indexlist=indexService.getActiveIndexes();
          SearchQueryListBuilder sqb = new SearchQueryListBuilder();
          sqb.setSearchTerm("SomeSearchTerm");
          IQueryEntryList qel = sqb.buildSearchQueryList();
          ISearchSession session = federatedSearch.searchWithSession(qel, indexlist,resourseContext);
          ISearchResultList results = session.getSearchResults(1, session.getTotalNumberResultKeys());
          ISearchResultListIterator iter = results.listIterator();
          while (iter.hasNext())
          ISearchResult result = iter.next();
          IPrivateDetailView.IPracticeDataElement PracticeData = wdContext.createPracticeDataElement();
                                        PracticeData.setContentSnippet(result.getContentSnippet());
                                        PracticeData.setResource(result.getResource().toString());
                                        wdContext.nodePracticeData().addElement(PracticeData);
     } catch (ResourceException e1) {
                    throw new WDRuntimeException(e1);
     } catch (UserManagementException e2) {
                      throw new WDRuntimeException(e2);
     } catch (WcmException e3) {
                    throw new WDRuntimeException(e3);
Thanks in advance for you help,
Edwin
null

My context:
value node - PracticeData
value attribute - Resource
value attribute - ContentSnippet
The results are written to the context here (inside the while - statement):
IPrivateDetailView.IPracticeDataElement PracticeData = wdContext.createPracticeDataElement();
                                        PracticeData.setContentSnippet(result.getContentSnippet());
                                        PracticeData.setResource(result.getResource().toString());
                                        wdContext.nodePracticeData().addElement(PracticeData);
I created a table with databinding to the value node (and value attributes).

It should be noted that we have tested this whole process in our Sandbox environment and got through all of the steps with no errors anywhere.
We are on Version 3.0 SP1 EhP4, and TREX Version 7.1 patch level 43.

Luke,
This problem has been resolved. After doing some preliminary research, for my next move I wanted to have our TREX admin make sure everything was connected inside TREX and it was working properly on its on with out outside Applications.
This fixed the our problem getting Nakisa connected, as there was a TREX connectivity issue to begin with. We fixed the issue with TREX and then reran the report and they were all indexed properly.
We are testing it now to make sure everything is working properly, and I will update this thread if there is any more questions or updates on our progress.
Thanks again,
Zach

TREX Indexing

Hi everyone!
Does anyone ever experienced problems with TREX indexing after installing SES?
In my project i've just setup SES and strangly Attached files are still being indexed on the old index queues and when i search for the content of the files using the TRM search it doesn't return the expected results.
Many thanks.

Hi Reddy,
TREX Queue maintains both index and deindex call entires.
Since you have deleted the ABC folder with 10 documents, it also has the deindex count of 10 .
This is the reason why you have 22 indexed documents plus the previous 10 deindexed documents.
You can check this by display queue entries and check for all synchronized documents.
Regards,
Srini
