Oracle Intermedia / Oracle Ultra Search

Hi all,
I'm researching about this two products for later integration in apex applications to search inside xls & doc documents.
Is there any success story? it seems like hard work.
regards,
PH

Hi,
like most things, if you know how, it is not difficult. Oracle Text can index most common file formats including the ones you mentioned. Basically, before you create a text index, you have to create preferences. One of the preferences defines a filter, which is actually a transformer, not a filter. Prior to 11g Oracle used the INSO filter and now uses Oracle Outside In apparently. I have only used the INSO filter and it worked perfectly.
The bottom line is: Oracle Text can do what you want and it is not difficult.

Ultra Search - Filtering failed

Hi!,
I'm using Oracle 9i and Ultra Search on Windows 2000, the
crawler is able to crawl the files using file:// protocl, but
the log says that filerting failed for PDF and MS - Word
documents, also the search for these documents is not working.
It is urgent as we have to soon implement this..
Can some body help

Try to verify the Inso filter ctxhx is working in your
environment; manually do the filtering from the
command line. for example:
ctxhx <input file> <output file> ascii iso8859-1 H Meta
where ctxhx is located under $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/bin/ directory

Difference between Oracle Ultra Search and Intermedia Search

hi,
Can any one please tell me how Oracle Ultra Search is Different from Intermedia Search .from an article i came to know that Ultra search helps you to search dataq in Multiple RDBMS ,documents,URLs etc . but i think these options are also there in Intermedia

These are Oracle Text questions. Intermedia Text is now Oracle Text and has it's own forum. Please post Oracle Text qestions in the Oracle Text Forum where you will get a better, quicker answer. The Oracle Text forum is frequently monitored by Oracle text experts, this forum may be occasionally scanned by these experts, or not at all.

Ultra Search is an application on top of Oracle Text (aka interMedia Text). You can find more information about it here: http://otn.oracle.com/products/ultrasearch/content.html

few doubts
Is it possible to go ahead for IDM installation without having ultra search enabled in database?
any other way around that i can have ultra search?
after applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
Thanks,

my guess was correct. the issue was last point.
After applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
it was resolved by uninstalling DB, and again installing from basic version (10201) then went to companion CD, installed ultrasearch on same oracle_home. it got installed without any issue.
then upgraded to 10204. then created DB, and enabled ultrasearch by DBCA.
let me know in case of more details required.

Oracle Intermedia Search in jsp files

I am using Oracle Intermedia for search ".jsp" files. Actually i am storing the files on a bfile column and passing the bfile to a stored procedure which atually reads and highlights the given search keywords in the ".jsp" files.
Problem here is that the content of the ".jsp" file is a mix and match of staic html and script. the search output gives HTML along with the jsp tags and scripts.
Can anyone suggest a way to give the html output alone excluding the jsp tags and scripts.
Is there any method or any inbuilt oracle package thru which we can extract the static content alone(if the starting and ending position of the static content is known).
Solicit suggestions at the earliest.

That this searches for the phrase "Oracle programmer", not just any document which has these words.

Oracle Text And Oracle Ultra search

Hi all,
I have a problem. I have some files in the server file system e.g C:/docs. I want to search these MS Office word files in order to see if they contain a word. I tried oracle ultra search but when i put File data source it provides a form file:/// and when i put C:/docs it gives me file://localhost/C:/docs. Can i configure Oracle ultra search to search into the server file system?Where is the directory that oracle ultra search searches a file?
How can index and search the files in the file systems exept oracle ultra search? Can Oracle Text do my job?
Sorry to bother and thank you in advance for your help
Antonis.

Hi,
Searching a word in a document (MS Word) can definitely be done using Oracle Text.
But, you other requirements can make things a bit complicated.
Oracle Text have something called file_datastore, where you need to mention the file_path/s and individual file names too.
Once you mention them, i.e. path and file names, oracle text can read the file , index them and you can query using simple queries.
If the number of files are huge, entering all the file names can be difficult. In that case you can give the following a try.
-- You can use a perl script to read the file name in a directory, put it into a file in a particular format (1 file name per line) and then load that text file into a table using ctxloader.
You can go through the FILE_DATASTORE and CTXLOADER examples from oracle text reference document.

Oracle Ultra Search wkdbmig.sql is missing when using DBUA

Hi,
As I am upgrading 10.1 to 10.2 using DBUA, DBUA says Oracle Ultra Search ultrasearch\admin\wkdbmig.sql is missing.
Well, where I can find the wkdbmig.sql. I suppose I can not use wkdbmig.sql of 10.1.
Your help will be appreciated,

Oracle Ultra Search Information

Hello. I am doing some research and one of the products that I am looking at is Oracle 9i and in particular, it's Ultra Search feature. I have looked at and printed out every document that pertains to the Ultra Search feature but need more information. I have specific things that I am trying to find out and wanted to know if there is a person that I can email in reference to this. One of the things that I would like to know is more detail on the different documents that can be searched. Another is in regards to scalability. If there is not a particular person that I could email, is there perhaps more documentation out that I have simply not found? Thank you so much for all your help. This looks like a fabulous product!

Please contact me at (650)-506-8173.

Oracle Ultra Search with Sun Portal?

Can Oracle Ultra Search be used with a third party Portal, e.g. Sun Portal, or does it only work with Oracle Portal?
Thanks...

Oracle Ultra Search(リリース9.2)のマニュアルのありか

Oracle Ultra Search(リリース9.2)のマニュアルが、OTN 上のどこにあるか
ご存知の方いらっしゃいましたらご教示願います。
めぼしいところは探してみたのですが、探しだせませんでした。
宜しくお願いいたします。

Oracle Ultra Search (リリース9.2) は、英語版のマニュアルしか無いようですね。
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/ultra.920/a97204/toc.htm
なお、英語版のマニュアルしか無さそうな根拠として、
以下の『Oracle9i データベース新機能リリース2（9.2）』という日本語マニュアルの中で、
Ultra Search は「A」で始まる英語マニュアルの部品番号になっています。
(日本語マニュアルは「J」で始まります。)
http://otndnld.oracle.co.jp/document/oracle9i/920/generic/server/J06241-02.pdf
→ p.130 (表4-6です)
それと、すでにご存知かもしれませんが、
・ Oracle9i Database リリース 9.2 は、すでに通常サポートが終了している
・ Oracle Ultra Search という製品自体、開発が終了している
という点にご注意ください。
Oracle Ultra Search の後継としては、Oracle Secure Enterprise Search という製品が存在します。

Can't apply Ultra Search to an upgraded Oracle Home. Do I have any options?

Hi
I've made a mistake!!
I created an Oracle Home, upgraded it to 10.2.0.4 and then created a new DB. This now contains SOA Suite and Content Management users which is working great.
I now need to add Ultra Search to this DB, but the install for this won't work as the installer expects a 10.2.0.1 home. Anyway, it probably wouldn't be a good idea anyway I would have thought as it would apply 10.2.0.1 software to a more recent version.
So, not being a DBA, do I have any options?
For example, I thought about creating a new home, adding all the extra software and then upgrading the home to 10.2.0.4. Then, could I clone the DB to this new home?
Any advice would be most appreciated.....
Many thanks
Chris

I can confirm that Ultra search cannot be installed by dbca in 10.2.0.4 database. It complains about invalid objects during installation in the created schema. Investigation showed up its some wrapped plsql package implementations that cannot be compiled.
When installing first 10.2.0.1 db, then patching to 10.2.0.3, then installing companion 10.2.0.1 and patching companion again to 10.2.0.3, Ultra search installation works in dbca.
Ultra search is needed for example by metadata creation assistant 10.1.4 (for Oracle internet directory 10.1.4). So Oracle internet directory cannot be installed on 10.2.0.4. Oracle probably didn't test this possibility

Registering Portal in Oracle Ultra Search

Hi,
I am in the process of setting up Oracle Ultra Search. I have followed the documentation down as far as Configuring Ultra Search to Index Portal Pages and I get to the point where I am adding the OracleAS Portal registration details.
I am not sure what my URL base should be, I have tried several combinations of
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/PORTAL
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/portal/portal
but I get the same error every time when I go to register the portal.
Oracle Ultra Search Error
Could not retrieve data from Oracle Portal. Make sure that the URL base is correct and that the portal is operational.
My Portal is up and running at (http://<hostname>/portal/page/portal/ultrasearch)
What should my URL base be ?
Thanks,

Reference: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b19305/cg_monit.htm#CHDFEIED
In SES10.1.8, it says URL base format is <protocol>://<host>:<port>/pls/<portal DAD>/<portal schema>, however it is confusing.
The following is applicable to Portal 10.1.4:
You may get some clue by going Administer tab -> Portal -> Portal Service Monitoring -> Portal DAD Setting -> Database Connection
In my setting, I see,
DAD Name of Location = /pls/portal
Database username = portal
The correct combination that works is:
http://portal.machine.com:7778/portal/pls/portal/portal
