Search of forums using global portal search (TREX) finds no results

Hello,
we are running EP 7.00 SP 12, and have installed and configured the forums application.
According to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/47/17904a21fa3696e10000000a11466f/content.htm], it is also possible to search the forums using the global portal search.
After the forums installation, the index and queue were automatically created for the forums. TREX Delta indexing of forum object is enabled in System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Repository Managers -> Forum Repository. As I understand it, this should be enough for TREX to be able to index forum objects. There exist some simple threads in the forums, but when searching in the portal for some keywords that exist also in the threads, I get no results.
I looked at the queue of the forums index, and there have been only 6 entries, so I performed a reindexing and got now about 24 entries, but still the portal search returns no result.
Is there anything that I've missed or any further suggestions to test for?
P.S. I am quite new to the SAP (NetWeaver) domain, maybe I missed some mandatory settings or configurations...

Hi Martin,
thanks for your reply.
Till now, I didn't manage to solve the problem. I was away the last week, so I didn't had any time for working on this issue.
Currently I am not able to test your suggestions, because there is a new problem with the index. The index has now the state "pending". Because of this state I am not able to perform any further actions like re-indexing and so on. On help.sap.com there is only little information about this state. But for me it looks like, that there has to be performed some actions in the TREX Admin Tool, so that this index can be used again.
I tried also the following on the portal:
- Delete this forum index
- Disable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager
- Enable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager.
This caused the creation of a new index for the forum. This new created index had however the initial state of "pending"...
Has anyone further suggestions on this topic?
P.S. Has someone successfully implemented such a scenario in his portal? (global portal search for forums)

Implement blog and discussion forum using weblogic portal or web center

Hi All,
Has anybody implemented blog or discussion forum using weblogic portal or oracle web center?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
We are trying something similar. We are using a WebCenter application and using built in task flows. These can now be deployed as portlets on WebLogic portal.
Another approach i can think of is using Jive Services (Restful services) directly from a custom J2EE appplication (Exactly same thing which Oracle provided Task Flow does). This will give you more control.
For Wiki, there is no such alternative.

Implement a blog and discussion forum using weblogic portal

Hi All,
Has anybody implemented blog and discussion forum using weblogic portal or oracle web center?
What are the best options?
Thanks
Ananth

As far as I remember, Web Center have these Portlets BUT I guess the backend application server for them was Oracles Application Server. So you may end up using WebCenter with Oracle App Server for these Blogs, Forums Portlet. But the latest release of WebCenter kind of supports on Weblogic Server as backend app server. See this bottom link and click on More Info " + " icon next to WebCenter Suite and see Required Software section.
http://database.in2p3.fr/doc/oracle/Oracle_Application_Server_10_Release_3/webcenter.1013/b31074/jpsdg_jive.htm (Uses Oracles OC4J App Server)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/fmw_11_download.html?rssid=rss_otn_soft
I know WebCenter does have Beehive Services for Forums, Blogs, Wikis, but not sure if they have Portlets for these Services. Check in WebCenter Forums and post this question there.

Searching PageService pages using Secure Enterprise Search

Hi,
In our application we allow the users to create pages at runtime using PageService as outlines in the oracle manual http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_service.htm . I would like to have Secure Enterprise Search crawl these pages and have them show up in the search results. How can I do this? It will help to know where the content for these pages are stored (I can figure out the rest).
This is roughly the code used to create the pages:
public void createMyPage {
try {
MDSSession mdsSess = (MDSSession)ADFContext.getCurrent().getMDSSessionAsObject();
PageServiceConfig config = new PageServiceConfig(mdsSess, DEFAULT_SCOPE);
mPageService = PageServiceFactory.createInstance(config);
String pageNameFormat ="Page{0}.jspx";
String pageTitle ="New Page";
// The template used to create the new page is /mytemplates/MyPageTemplate1.jspx
// path "/mytemplates" should be defined as a MDS namespace.
// Also MyPageTemplate1.jspx should have a pageDef called "MyPageTemplate1PageDef.xml and
// it has the same path as the jspx file.
PageDef newPage = mPageService.createPage(
PERSONAL_USER_PAGE, pageNameFormat, pageTitle,
"MyPageTemplate1.jspx",
"/mytemplates/",
null, null, null);
} catch(Exception e) {
// Handle exception
Thank you.

Portal Search Engine

When using the Portals search engine, does it search the descriptions or does it search for the name of the folders, iViews, and pages? It seems that it searches what ever is in the description. For instance, if your search paramenters is "News and Announcements", it will search for all the folders, iViews, and pages that have "News and Announcements" in the description.

Francis Cung

Francis,
as per the Help documentation it should search name, id or description of the iViews if correctly configured. See the documentation quoted below:
<b>Searching For Portal Pages and iViews</b>
<i>This function is only available if configured for your system. The system searches for all portal pages and iViews in the roles of the logged-on user.
In the search field in the portal header, enter the name, ID, or description of a portal page or iView. Open the Search Options dialog box and make sure that the checkbox for the corresponding search area or index is active.
In the search results list, you only have to click a hit to navigate to the corresponding portal page.</i>
You can find the whole documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/7e/5e115e4a1611d1894c0000e829fbbd/content.htm">HERE</a>

Portal search from an external website

We have a requirement to extend the portal search capability to other websites. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this.
Basically the client has an Aqualogic 6.1 portal and also hosts a number of websites on a separate (i.e.: non portal) web server. They are unhappy with the search provided by MS Index Server and would like to use the Portal search from these static websites.
My thinking is that we can crawl the content of these websites into Aqualogic and use the PRC (search API) from these websites to execute the user search. I'm figuring that this should be possible if we install the ALUI API service on these web servers (effectively making then Remote Servers?)
Any thoughts?
thanks in advance
Simon

Let me see if I understand this. The client has a few static HTML websites that have no relation to the ALUI portal, but you want to you the portal search engine to search those sites?
Yes, your proposed solution is certainly possible. You could crawl the contents of those websites into specific folders in the KD and set the security so only a specific user (which you would use to authenticate in the custom search page) can see them. You don't even need to install the ALUI API service on those web servers to do this. The API endpoint URL of the portal needs to be accessible from those web servers, and you just need to reference the portal IDK dll or jar files when you write your custom search page.
I have done something similar to this, but the static web site was actually migrated in to be a part of the portal. Still a separate URL and look and feel, but hosted on the portal. However, I did crawl all the pages in and have a custom search page using PRC to search for documents. It works like a charm.

Which search engine is used in Firefox OS search?

I want to know which search engine is used in the search bar of Firefox OS which I used to search for web apps.

Hi Raiyad Raad,
The Global Search feature in your Firefox OS device uses some of [http://everything.me/ Everything.me]'s implementations, while hosted by Mozilla.
Please also note that, depending on your device, it may be possible to change the settings of the default search engine in the browser of your Firefox OS device.

How to get Name 2 also when we search for a customer using 'Name' as search

In XD03, when I am searching for Customer using Name as Search term I am getting postal code, Name1, City, Customer no. I want Name2 also to be displayed. Can somebody please suggest.
Thank you.

hi,
for this you will have to change the search term involved during the master data creation.
now during the creation of customer master data , enter the name as the search term in the data base.
if possible change the database of customers and insert the name in the search term.
without it, it will be really difficult to locate the customers with the search term as their name

Siddharth.

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.

Sending query to third party portal from TREX Search Engine

HI Experts,
we need to implement normal search option in SAP portal.
when we search any thing from portal ,
It has to search in EP & KM and also it has to search
windows sharepoint portal and bring the data back to SAP Portal.
For this purpose one solution is
1) implementing enterpise search,
but my client dont want to go for enterprise search(federated search).
2) The other way
Sending query to third party portal from TREX Search Engine
In this way what i want is ,
how TREX can send query to third party portal SEARCH ENGINE
(in my case share point portal search ENGINE).
There is no problem to search in EP & KM becuse it is default.
To search in Micro soft Share point portal,
TREX should pass the query to share point portal search ENGINE.
Is there any API TO send a query to third party portal like sharepoint?
I searched in SDN and Other sites also but i am not getting exactly what I require.
If any one has ideas or implemented already please guide me.
My client require searching option like this,
we need to provide drop down box in SAP Portal with 3 options like
1) search in Share point portal
2) search in SAP EP & KM
3) Search in both the portals
please provide any code samples in case if you have.
please help me , its urgent
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
please check the information on the KM IMS (Index Management Service) in KMC's developer guide. A connection to a 3rd party search is done from KM, then calling TREX and XY in parallel, not serially from TREX.
Here's a paper describing this for an older KM release:
