Oracle SES Custom Search Pagination

Hi,
We are using SES Custom Search API and developing a Search Servlet and stuck with the pagination stuff. We are calling ::
ctx.doOracleSearch("test", new Integer(1), new Integer(11),Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.TRUE,ctx.getDataGroups("All"),null, null, Boolean.TRUE, null, null, null);
If i change number of docs requested parameter which is the third parameter of doOracleSearch function, it always starts from 0, even i tried changing the second parameter that is for starting index.
Thanks,
Ujjwal Soni

Can you expand on what you mean?
To get the first page of 10 documents, you would specify start index = 1 and doc requested = 10.
To get the second page, you would specify start index = 11 and doc requested = 10.
So "doc requested" (the third argument) is really the "page size".
Is this what you're doing, or are you doing something different?

Database search using Oracle SES

Hi all..specially Luca,
I am a new to oracle SES.I have to search my database through oracle SES from my ASP.NET
pages.
But before doing it from ASP.NET page , I just want to try serching from the SES tool itself.
I tried to create Database source type as :
Home > source > source type = database > create
then i got a page where i wrote the database connection string , userid , password , and a query (select * from images)
i clicked next n got another page which says step2 authorization ..
here again i need to put databse connection string ..for which i m confuse what to put ..
the entire connection string like "Data Source=atlas/orcl;User ID=yuntaa;Password=yuntaa" or "atlas/orcl" ..
i put user ID and Password,there wer few more fields like
Authorization Query,Single Record Query, Authorization User ID Format .i m not sure what to put in this fields,
and clicked next...i got an error saying ...
Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Error
An error occurred while validating the plug-in parameters.
now i m really confuse how to create database source and how it will search to my search string...how it will know which
table to search...i mean search string may be audio,video,image or a doc ..according to the string it has execute different
query to search in different table...
Plz help me out a little to solve this issue...
Warm regards and thanks
Suraj

Thanks a lot for the reply Raford...n sorry as my question are too long...
In my project i need to search my database but i do not
have any URL as i am displaying data straight from the database. The data's
are audio,video or images which i have stored in database tables itself.
so in my case the URL column will be empty which is a mandatory field.The URL column contains the Display URL for the document but I do not have any document outside my database.
The way I am storing the data, is oracle SES posible ?. Most importantly do this will enhance
the performance..or provide some extra information to the user regarding search...
Actually what we are thinking is that when user will search and if the data is present in database we will display the data from the database using oracle SES
or else if the data is not there in the database we will provide some links
of other web site, something like google..
Please give some thought on it and tell me whether this is possible using oracle SES...if yes then what should i put in URL column...if posible plz give me some suggestion how should i proceed
You said If the data is in an Oracle database, it is easier to use the Table crawler. I tried
to configure that with my table but showing an error in error log :
EQG-30100: Internal error: java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 2,

EXCEPTION when others then eq_err.raise; END;; for URL http:/tds?id=-1&k1=24&display_url=0
EQG-30100: Internal error:
no new documents collected
also the crawl statistics is 0..
also search result is empty..i m searching with the string which is in contenttitle
column in table which i ve set through "table column mappings"...
the steps i ve taken to set the table crawler is :
selected source type as Table > provided source name , port number etc details > local table
selected primary key column > select content column > create and customise > table column mappings
Add another row(selected the contenttitle field) > apply > schedule > execute immediatlyWarm regards and Thanks

New to Webcenter Search- Oracle SES or WebCenter live search adapters.

Hi
We are planing to implement the search functionality for Webcenter .
As per the Developer's guide WebCenter provides two ways of searching your application:
■ Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) adapter
■ Oracle WebCenter live search adapters
Documents service provides its own search engine for file searches.(Is it only for file search ? What kind of Files ?)
- Can you provide the the differences between the three searches (SES , live search , Document Service)?
- Where can i find the refernces for implementing WebCenter live search adapters?
- What are the search functionality that WebCenter live search adapters provide?
-What are the benifts of using Oracle SES over WebCenter live search adapters ?
- What is that we cannot do with WebCenter live search adapters but with Oracle SES ? and the other way round.

Hi Dani,
Eventually I found the problem, it is reported in Oracle Support as Doc ID 1503173.1.
It seems jDeveloper is a bit special when adding Directories to the MAR file. If the whole directory "/oracle" is added, the adf-config.xml introduces the following line:
namespace metadata-store-usage="WebCenterFileMetadataStore" path="/oracle"/
As a result, this diverts all /oracle/... file and class requests to MDS, which causes failures.
So when editing the MAR deployment profile be careful to select the sub-directories under /oracle/webcenter/portalapp/ one by one.
Added to this, I had to perform the cleaning process you suggested to make it work too, otherwise I get a different error...
Final steps are:
1. Undeploy application.
2. Delete MDS partition.
3. Shutdown managed server.
4. Delete /cache and /tmp content for the managed server.
5. Start managed server.
6. Exectute Clean all in jDeveloper.
7. Create a new mar deployment as described in SR 1503173.1.
8. Deploy to EAR file.
9. Deploy new application to managed server using Enterprise Manager.
And it works!
Thanks for your help!

Smart search with oracle SES

Hi,
I'm working on a demo and I'd like to set up smart search. I'm trying to make it work with Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (google onebox isn't free), but I'm having a hard time finding some documentation on-line, and the configuration process is unclear to me.
Has someone already done this? Could you please give me a link, or guide me through Oracle SES Search Mode Configuration ?
Thanks,
Cyril

Hi,
I found a good tutorial: http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/SESAdminTutorial/index.htm

Oracle Secure enterprise Search versus Oracle Text

I'm involeved in a project where we're using Oracle text for its text search capability. Yesterday during a meeting Oracles Secure Enterprise search engine came up. I see similar functionality offered in both products - Oracle text comes with 10g - not sure if SES comes with additional cost. Has anyone done analysis on why one would implement one over the other - I understand that SES gives the customer a federated option and some internet search capabilities but since I'm not concerned with that for this project does it make a difference?

SES is a complete seaerch application with connectors to many different data sources, such as email systems and document management systems.
Oracle Text, on the other hand, is a toolkit for building applications (and is used as such by SES).
Oracle Text comes free with the database. SES is chargable, but comes with a free database (though it's restricted to use by SES only!)
Generally speaking, if your data is in the database and you want fine control over how to search it, Oracle Text is a better option.
If your data is scattered around diverse enterprise sources, and you want a ready-built application to collect, index and search that data, SES is the proper choice.
Here's a slide from my OpenWorld presentation, which I guess says much the same thing:
Oracle Text is the toolkit and platform for building sophisticated Information Retrieval applications and services
- Fine control over indexes, partitioning, etc
Oracle Secure Enterprise Search is a stand-alone application built on the foundation of Oracle Text
- Includes its own database
- No programming needed
- Includes crawlers and an end-user UI

Searchadmin command in Oracle SES

Hi Raford,
Thanks for your reply.
I could see all the Metadata attibutes in the advance search option. But instead is there any option like.. first i should select the Category and after that i should select my desired Metadata Attributes in that category.
We need this feature because a customer might find difficult to select his desired MetaData Attribute from the entire list of MetaData Attributes LOV

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search integration with Hadoop

Hello Guys,
I am currently exploring Oracle SES for performing search across all enterprise information assets. One of my asset is a Hadoop system holding a huge dump of data.
Does SES have out of box integration with Hadoop (hdfs) or is there any specific connector available that can be used to make the connection and search data.
I am new to Oracle SES, appreciate if someone could answer this question.
Thanks,
Sooraj

It can be done but it's not easy.
Federation is done through the Web Services API. To create a custom federation to a non-SES endpoint, you have to replicate most of the Web Services API. You can choose to do it selectively, for example you can choose to implement doOracleSearch but not doOracleAdvancedSearch or doOracleBrowseSearch (names from memory - could be wrong) which would give you the basic search capability but no advanced search or browse against the federated source.
Then you've got the problem of merging results. When all federated sources are SES based, it's easy to merge them. You know that a document which scores 63 fron one source is more accurate than one that scores 62 from another, and so should appear higher in the hitlist. But if one of those sources is - say - Bling, then how do you that 63 as a score from Bling is comparable to 63 as a score from SES? They're probably not comparable.
These are the reasons that mention of federation to external sources was removed from the 10.1.8.4 documentation, it was felt that it just wasn't practical for most users.
A rather better alternative is to use the Suggested Content feature. This is MUCH easier to configure, and doesn't attempt to merge the results. From a user's point of view this may be less desirable than a merged result set, but given that any such merge probably won't work well, it's really better all round.

AutoSuggest in Oracle SES

Hi,
Does Oracle SES supports Auto-Suggest feature? Is there any plugin available for achieving the same?
Auto-Suggest: When the user starts keying in the Search term, a dropdown with Suggestions matching the keyed in letter will be displayed.

How to create a custom search portlet that groups results by category

Hello,
Is it possible to create a custom search portlet whose search results are displayed on a page grouped by Category? Basically the results page should have Category heading followed by search results.
I realize this is not canned functionality but any ideas on how to accomplish this using PLSQL APIs is also welcome.
Thanks.

hi,
one workaround i could think of is using the CM views to search for content that belongs to a category and display it in a custom way.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc904/wwsbr_api_view.html
this only allows you to search for the meta-data available in the CM views but not the content of an item that is available when doing a search.
in the next major portal release we will have a publich search API that can be used for these type of requirements. you can execute your search and format the results in the way you want.

christian

Problems with custom search form in adf

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.4. please can you help with this issue?
I've created a custom search form with the help from this link.
Jdeveloper,Oracle ADF &amp; Java: Implementing custom search form in ADF programmatically (Without using af:query)
I've created two bind variables SkuBind & ImperfectBind and a View Criteria.
My problem is when I press Search button, it does not filter based on values of the bind variables in the View Criteria.
I rightly get bind variable values in the System output though
Skubind = 1000
Imperfectbind = N
but there is no where clause
where clause = null
public void SearchOddShoes(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
AppModuleImpl am = (AppModuleImpl)resolvElDC("AppModuleDataControl");
ViewObject oddShoeVo = am.getRtnOddShoesVO1();
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind", skuPgBind.getValue());
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind", imperfectPgBind.getValue());
System.out.print("Named Skubind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("Named Imperfectbind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("where clause = " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClause()+"\n");
System.out.print("where clause params= " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClauseParams()+"\n");
System.out.print("Sql is " + oddShoeVo.getQuery()+"\n");
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
public Object resolvElDC(String data) {
           FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           Application app = fc.getApplication();
           ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
           ELContext elContext = fc.getELContext();
           ValueExpression valueExp =
                   elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{data." + data + ".dataProvider}", Object.class);
           return valueExp.getValue(elContext);
thanks

Not clear what part of the code doesn't work. Assuming that you did check that the code you wrote executed
the problem may be the following.
You need to add partial trigger on the destination component.
Add ...
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(HERE_THE_BIND_NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLE);
Also I don't see that you acctually use View Criteria. There are specific way to apply View Criteria programatically and I don't see that you use it.
The simpliest way is just to change the VO query to embed bind variables into the query
E.G.
select 1
from dual
where some_column= :P_PARAM1

Kindly help me ?

RCC wrote:
I agree with Hakan, sounds like your problem is getting to the proxy.
Is the SES server on the same network as PS? Or is it really somewhere else? Is this some kind of home setup since you are running PS on Win 7? If SES is on the same network as PS, I would drop the proxy config and test that way first. Get it working without the extra complexity, then add in Proxy. You can test connectivity from PS to SES with telnet or just browsing to SES.
Thanks for the response RCC.
The PS is a Demo Instance being used for study purpose. Both the machines are on the same network.
I tried the ping after removing the entries in integrationGateway.properties files for proxy server and it worked.

Custom search in a specific page

Oracle 9iAS R2
Hi,
I'm using custom seach portlets to provide teasers for the extended content placed in several content pages created in the same page group.
As an example, there are two distinct pages (ContentPageA and ContentPageB) containing several "News" items each. "News" is a custom item type similar to the "text" item type. Users that can enter content in on page are not suposed to include content in the other.
Then I place a custom search in the "Home" page customized to autoquery contents in "ContentPageA" and show only the last five items created. A link placed elsewhere provides access for the original page for users interested in complete content. The same is done for "ContentPageB".
My problem is that I want to specify the custom search to search exclusively in one page and not the other. I know I can use categories or perpectives to make the distinction of the content, but I cannot force users to choose the right attributes. As a result, a search for the last five items would bring the mixed items from each page, which is not desirable.
If autoquery is not in use, one can define the specific page for performing the search. How can I specify that in the autoquery mode???
Thanks for the help.
Joao

The ability to pre-select a page to search in is planned for a future release.

Custom Search Portlet not getting the results as expected.

Hi All,
I am using CustomSearchPortlet and I am having following problems. I created an itemtype IT with attributes A1,A2.Then I configured my custom search portlet to search based on A1,A2 attributes only. I have created 3 instances of items Item1,Item2,Item3 based on itemtype IT as follows
Item1(A1=value11,A2=value12)
Item2(A1=value21,A2=cat22)
Item3(A1=value11,A2=value32)
and when I search for value11, I get Item1,Item3 as results. Till here it was nice and behaving as expected. Suddenly after some time, it stopped working and i am not getting the results I used to get before. The only thing i remember to have changed in the meanwhile was to change the A2 attribute values of some of these items. my searchtext remained the same as value11. I was confused as to why the custom search portlet is not getting these results that it was getting before...Thanks for any help in solving this.
Thanks,
Prasanth.

Hi,
If Oracle Text is enabled in your portal, the updated items need to be synchronised before they can be returned in the Search. Since you updated those items, though not changing values for this particular attribute, it will be in the queue for indexing and hence will not be returned until it is indexed.
Thanks.

How to use Custom Search in Dynamic Page or HTML Portlet ?

Gurus,
1. I have a tab called My Space in the portal web site, where user gets a personalized view of the content.
2. I am using custom attributes and custom item types. I have a custom attribute called 'Location', which is a attribute of custom item types.
3. I have 2 pages - News and Events.
4. All the content in News and Events page is tagged by the attribute 'Location'.
5. The requirement is to let the user search the News and Events by Location.
6. To achieve this I used the Custom Search portlet and the user can select the attribute Location and see the resultant News and Event items by location in the Search portlet.
7. The requirement is to present the News items and Event items in separate regions on the page and show only the first 5 News and Event items in the result and show a More link which would guide the user to rest of the News and Event items.
8. Eventually there may be more content other than News and Events tagged by location. If so, the requirement is to create a new region and display the new content.
9. How would I do this using custom search ? I was thinking if there is anyway I could use the custom search api (where can i find it ?) in the HTML portlet or Dynamic page and submit the result to IFRAMES in each region and show the output ?
Pls advise.
Thanx a bunch.

I would suggest that you use two custom search portlets; one for the news items and one for the events items. Switch the custom search portlets to "AutoQuery" mode and add the relevant criteria. On the results display tab of the the "edit defaults" screen, choose to show just 5 items.
To add a link to show the user mode results, I'd create two new pages that have just a single custom search portlet on it that is customised to show more of the results and maybe has the pagination links enabled.
Then I'd add two "Page Link" items underneath the two news and events portlets on the first page in an item region.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing this as well. Hope that helps to get you started.

No Error was encountered while installation and systems started without any error.
I was able to integrate PeopleSoft HCM with Oracle SES (with great help from my forum friends ).
I was able to establish Global search in HCM 9.2.
Now I have PeopleSoft ELM installed on host3. I need to integrate this to the same SES Server Installed on host2.
In identity management setup on Oracle SES entry is given for host1(HCM).
How can I achieve this. I know I need to establish Single-Signon between ELM and HCM but, I am not sure how.
Kindly help.

Thanks HakanBiroglu for the response.
I went through the post. I am aware of these steps.
But I need help on point 2.
2.There should be single sign on setup between these DB's
How to achieve this ?
