Limit the ESS employee search all, No Wildcard Search

Hello,
We have:
EP 7.0, SP10
ERP2005 (ECC 6.0), SP05
ESS (MySAP ERP) 1.0, SP04.
How can we configure the ESS employee search in EP to exclude "*" search all. This is to limit employee from opening the entire 29K employee master records.
So it mean we dont want the User to search with Wildcards "*" in ESS employee search.
Any Ideas?
Thanks and Regards,
Nazih

Hello Nazih,
You can try search string enhancement 'HRESSWWW' available for ESS.
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLRH65_001.
""Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" CHANGING
*" VALUE(PATTERN) TYPE HRP1000-MC_SEARK
INCLUDE ZXWWWU01 .
ENDFUNCTION.

How to limit the number of search results returned by oracle text

Hello All,
I am running an oracle text search which returned the following error to my java program.
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
#### ORA-29902: Fehler bei der AusfÃ¼hrung von Routine ODCIIndexStart()
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29902: Fehler bei der AusfÃ¼hrung von Routine ODCIIndexStart()
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:169)
When i looked up the net, one suggestion that was given is to narrow the wildcard query, which i cannot in my search page. Hence I am left with the only alternative of limiting the number of results returned by oracle text search query.
Please let me know how to limit the number of search results returned by oracle text so that this error can be avoided.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If not set explicitly, the default value for WILDCARD_MAXTERMS is 5000. This is set as a wordlist preference. This means that if your wildcard query matches more than 5000 terms the message is returned. Exceeding that would give the user a lot to sift through.
My suggestion: trap the error and return a meaningful message to the user indicating that the search needs to be refined. Although it is possible to increase the number of terms before hitting maxterms (increase wildcard_maxterms preference value for your wordlist), 5000 records is generally too much for a user to deal with anyway. The search is not a good one since it is not restricting rows adequately. If it happens frequently, get the query log and see the terms that are being searched that generate this message. It may be necessary to add one or more words to a stoplist if they are too generic.
Example: The word mortgage might be a great search term for a local business directory. It might be a terrible search term for a national directory of mortgage lenders though (since 99% of them have the term in their name). In the case of the national directory, that term would be a candidate for inclusion in the stoplist.
Also remember that full terms do not need a wildcard. Search for "car %" is not necessary and will give you the error you mentioned. A search for "car" will yield the results you need even if it is only part of a bigger sentence because everything is based on the token. You may already know all of this, but without an example query I figured I'd mention it to be sure.
As for limiting the results - the best way to do that is to allow the user to limit the results through their query. This will ensure accurate and more meaningful results for them.

Employee search : Infoset query

Hi All,
We are trying to configure the employee search in ESS. We have requirement in order to display the Position, date of entry into the position (start date), or when the employee got promoted into that position.
As default, ESS displays the position for each of the respective employees search results. We have explored the option Who's Who (ESS): Selection and Output in spro and this is an infoset query submitted to Employee search service resulting the appropriate fields in Portal.
I am finding difficult in order to display the date of entry into respective positions ie what would be the technical name (field) to be passed to this infoset query.
Thanks in advance.

Thnx for your valuable inputs pooja.
As suggested, I have tried to create a query in standard Infoset HR_XX_PA_ESS. However, it doesn't allow me to do it. Even I have tried with ABAP client with all of the developer rights.
I have created a Z-copy of that standard infoset, then it allowed me to create query field in that Z-infoset. But, how can I refer this customized query from this Z-Infoset to Who's who selection output screen (PZ01C).
Please share your experiences.

Remove Personalize and Filter On buttons in Employee Search (TeamViewer)

EP7.0
ESS/MSS 600
ECC 6
Hello,
has anyone been able to remove the Personalize and Filter On buttons found in the new Employee Search / Teamviewer? How would I go about doing this. I haven't found it anywhere in the code and I haven't found a config option for it. Perhaps I've stepped right over it tho.
Any thoughts?
thx

To remove the personlize button I was able to create a custom column group through SPRO and add the two columns I wanted to see to in that group. I set them both to visible with no other options checked. This in turn removed the personalize button as the only two fields that could be displayed were forced on ... no other options.
The removal of the "Filter On" button is no longer a requirement.

Link Personnal Data from ESS with Employee Search from MSS

Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible to create an iVew with on the top the "employee search engine" and on the bottom the "Personnal Data" from ESS package ?
Why that ? With the standard of MSS, I can change the personnal data from a specific employee through :
Team->General Information -> Related Links (Identity) and then I got a Popup with the ability to modify the personnal data.
I would like the same but in one iView and one click.
Is it possible ?
Thanks

When you select/click on an employee in the Employee search iview, an event is raised which is subscribed in all the iviews below the employee search in that page. This is how the update happens in the other iviews.
If you would like to put Employee Search iview at the top and personal data (From ESS) at the bottom, you will need to make changes in the personal data application of ESS and subscribe the event raised by the Employee Search.
Basically you can integrate any custom iview with the employee search iview.
Have a look at the following Wiki:

How to limit the search help in the selection screen?

Hi All,
I got a selection option in a selection screen,
say SELECT-OPTIONS KSCHL FOR VAKE-KSCHL.
I want to limit the output list of the search help of this field, e.g. 33 entries for a specific application and usage.
What should I do ?
Thz.

Hi,
U can check with these two
... NO-EXTENSION
Effect
The user can only make an entry on one line. Calling the additional "Multiple Selection" screen is not supported and no pushbutton for this appears on the selection screen.
Addition 12
... NO INTERVALS
Effect
The selection option is displayed on the selection screen without a 'to' field. The pushbutton for calling the "Multiple Selection" screen appears immediately after the 'from' field.
This addition thus allows you to generate a simplified display on the selection screen. This is particularly useful if you are not making any range selections for this selection option.
Notes
On the "Multiple Selection" screen, you can also enter ranges for selection options with "NO INTERVALS".
By combining this addition with "NO-EXTENSION", you can restrict the user to entry of a single value for the selection option, but with the possibility of also choosing single value options like 'Greater than' or 'Less than or equal'.
By using the addition " NO INTERVALS" with SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK, you can activate the simplified display for all selection options in a block.
The function module SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT allows you to restrict the set of selection options available for a SELECT-OPTION (for example, only single values and patterns, i.e. 'EQ' and 'CP' are allowed). You can also forbid the leading sign 'E' (= 'Exclude from selection'). This means that you can considerably restrict the selections which can be entered on the selection screen.
Just now tried it out to limit the search help u have to use NO-EXTENSION.
Try this simple code.
Tables: mara.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR MARA-matnr NO-EXTENSION.
Hope this helps.
Kindly reward points and close the thraed if ur problem got solved.
U havent rewarded any points?

How to limit the external drives that Bridge searches?

I'm experiencing the problem that I find myself working on the files chosen from Bridge that have been selected from my external drive.
This can lead to catastrophic results, of course, when the user will overwrite the wrong files, etc.
I have looked all through the Bridge preferences, but I can't find anyplace to limit the searches to just the original main hard drive.
Of course it's nice to have backup on the external drive, (which I have cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)... but often I look up from working on a photoshop file and realize I've been working on a file that originated from the external drive, and not the original HDD.
This is driving me nuts!
So.... is there any way to limit the external drives that Bridge will search?
Thanks!
jn

So.... is there any way to limit the external drives that Bridge will search?
Yes, in the find menu (cmd+F or menu:Edit/Find) you have a window that let's you select the source where to look in, if you choose your hard drive as source to look in it will only find the files there.
The folder panel may also be useful for your purpose, although I personally almost never have need for the find option in Bridge it might be when having Bridge pointed to a certain disk or folder the quick find field top right in Bridge window might also do the trick for you.
Of course it's nice to have backup on the external drive, (which I have cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)...
I would not use Carbon Copy Cloner for back up but a dedicated back up application like Synchronize Pro, Just copy the whole content you want to use for back up to an external HDD and customize Synchronize the way you like it (when to back up, archive the older files etc etc). There are also a lot of other (some free) back up utilities.

Can we limit the search count in Webcenter Imaging on the basis of user/grp

Hi All
I have a scenario wherein i want to limit the search count in Webcenter Imaging 11g on the basis of user and group.
For e.g if administrator searches for documents it should return all the search result, whereas when a noraml business user searches for the document only 1000 documents should be returned as search results(if exact search criteria is not met).
I am aware of the General setting in Enterprise Manager, but i want to restrict it on the basis of user.
Can somebody help me, it's really very urgent.
Thanks

HT201285 Any way to limit the contacts search by just one field (just first name or last name or note, etc.)?

It is nice that the search includes all the fields mentioned, but what about when the results are 600 and I tried a few ways to filter it down unsuccessfully?
It would be nice to limit the search to just certain fields too.

Windchimes74, oh wow! That is a lot of usage in a short amount of time. We do have a great application called Family Base. You can restrict the amount of time/amount of usage that a particular device can be used. By doing this you can put a limit when Mom is online. Once the jetpack reaches that limit it will not allowed to be downloading anything else. This package is $5 a month for the whole account. It is an awesome feature that I myself use for many lines on my account.

The "My Ebay" page and the AT&T yahoo changed suddenly and some features are non operative. Also the Google instant search stopped working. All this is happening on Firefox. Everything displays and works correctly on IE. What could be wrong?

Hi, On thursday evening I closed all open windows to do some virus scanning and window washer maintenance. After I was finished I opened up firefox and went back on Ebay and the "My Ebay" window has changed to a totally different appearance and I can't access messages, etc. My AT&T Yahoo email window has also changed its appearance and has selections on it which are new and non operative. They both are now presented as a vertical format and the "My Ebay" window is expanded off the monitor with a blue sliding bar on the bottom and large white areas in the viewing area. I can shrink it down, but I then need a magnifying glass to read it. The opening Ebay sign in window is normal. The opening AT&T sign in window is normal. Also the Google instant search results, which used to appear when I was typing in my search words, has also stopped working. Everything seems to work properly on Internet Explorer. When I double click on the Mozilla icon it takes me to the Mozilla start page and shows me the Google search bar. That is what I normally see. I'm baffled.

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

Hello Nazer_502,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way. It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
