SES SEARCH

Hi Experts,
I have an unique requirement for candidate search. We are using EHP4 , and we have enhanced the standard e-rec info types to meet the client requirements. Now our client wants to have these fields available on the search criteria.
Full text search or quick search is not bringing the candidates data which we have enhanced, though it is bringing the standard values.
Your expert advice is needed!

If your list of user-entered terms is known, you can also check out using Alternate Words. It basically allows an Admin to configure SES to "look for certain words" entered by users and "auto expand" what the user entered to a list of words/terms as defined by ad Admin.
Here is a snippet for the docs:
"This is useful for fixing common errors that users make in searching (for example, entering Oracel instead of Oracle). Also, synonyms can provide more relevant results; for example, cellular phones for cell phones or wireless phones. Additional uses for alternate keywords are for product code names and abbreviations."

UCM ACL and SES search

Hi All,
i know may be it not the correct forum to ask this question but i need some guidance.
we have ACL enabled security architecture in UCM and the SG where ACL is active is 'Restricted'.
so two SG Restricted and Unrestricted.
Now after SES setup is done we are not able to find any content which are in SG 'Restricted' and where any of ACL field is filled in SES search.
let me put it in this way:
content - A
SG - Restricted
ACL (Role Access List) - contributor(RW) //we have one AD group contributor with user lets say user1 and user2.
content - B
SG - Restricted
ACL (Role Access List )- empty
so the second content is not having any thing in any of ACL field.
now the B content is visible in SES search for required users but content A is not visible to user 1 or user2.
UCM search works fine and behave as required.
i am not the one who did the SES configuration in Team but now ball is in my court as i implemented the ACL in UCM.
please help me and provide some better understanding.
-thanks

Hi David,
we are not using accounts, and as mentioned earlier we have classification of content at SG level as
Restricted and Unrestricted which determine ACL is active or not (in specialAuthGroup i made entry only for Restricted ).
Most of the content will be in Unrestricted SG but few as per use cases will be in Restricted SG and will be assigned certain enterprise role in Role access list of ACL.
this is our security architecture for UCM.
now behavior of SES is that it able to search all content from Unrestricted SG and those content from Restricted SG where all ACL fields are empty.
if any of ACL fields have value for any Restricted SG group content SES is not able to find that content even for Admin user.
UCM's OOTB (in UCM console) search is working fine i.e. if user has access in ACL + SG he/she is able to search content.
hope i made my point clear.
thanks

How to turn off "...Similar Documents" Feature in SES Search Results

Hello,
We are running 10.1.8.4 and have several database data sources configured. We would like to turn off the "Similar Documents" feature in the SES out-of-the-box search results. It appears to be grouping the results via the required CONTENT column.
Is there a way to turn this feature off and have SES simply list all results as parent documents? We have tried to modify the "ses.qapp.similar_doc_handling" property in search.properties but this does not have any effect. Also, by looking at the source for advanced_search.jsp, it does not appear to be checking any properties or parameters so not sure if this is configurable or not.
Thanks in advance.

You seem to have found the right setting. From my notes:
Add the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/search/webapp/config/search.properties and then restart oc4j:
ses.qapp.similar_doc_handling=disabled
Maybe you didn't restart oc4j (using "searchctl restart")?

A picture of user in SES search

Hi for all,
I want to show a picture of user inside the search of SES. So, I changed the 'Search Result List', but this dosen't works. Does anyone have any tips on how I can do this?
 <xsl:if test="img_user[.!='']">
 <fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
 <xsl:value-of select=".//IMG_USER"/>
 </fo:instream-foreign-object>
 </xsl:if>Kind regards

Ah yes - hadn't thought of that. An attribute is limited to 4K in size. Don't think there's any way around that.
I think you're going to have to go about this some other way - fetching the image directly from the database using some other technology, and just sending the URL to the SES web page via an attribute. You might be able to use the XML DB listener in the database, for example, to fetch the image. Or if the database is firewalled such that you can't access the XML DB listener, then you could add a JSP file into SES (you'll need to look up skin bundles to figure out how to do that), and the JSP could access the database directly.
In case it helps, here's a JSP file I've used successfully with SES before to fetch a document from the database based on an ID value passed in on the URL:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*, java.util.*, java.io.*, java.net.*, oracle.jdbc.*, oracle.jdbc.pool.*, oracle.jsp.dbutil.*" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>

Can SES search webcenter content when content using ACL security module

hi experts:
My customer asked me if SES11g can search ecm11g with ACL security module? from SES document, seems SES crawler only support security grount/account module, the only way is by using fedarated search for ACL module? any comments on this?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

I'm trying to sort out a similar issue myself, and it looks like the answer is no.
The Oracle SES Oracle Content Server connector supports the two most popular security models among current Oracle Content Server customers: Roles and Groups, and Accounts.

SES search ECM

hi all,
Can I use SES11g with wc11g to search ECM11g? the data returned from ECM should be filtered according to security control in webcenter and ECM.
Best regards

Hi
Yes , SES can be used to do the search for contents . It can be set to the user security as well so all the 3 entities viz WC , UCM and SES are hooking up to same identity store for user security lookup .
Hope this helps .
Thanks

E-Recruiting: SES Search

Hi Experts,
I have an unique requirement for candidate search. We are using EHP4 , and we have enhanced the standard e-rec info types to meet the client requirements. Now our client wants to have these fields available on the search criteria.
Full text search or quick search is not bringing the candidates data which we have enhanced, though it is bringing the standard values.

Regards,

Hello Varun,
new fields in the e-recruiting data model are not included in the full text search automatically. If you add fields and want them to be indexed in TREX you have to enhance the search profiles accordingly which is done in IMG under the paths SAP E-Recruiting -> Talent Warehouse -> Candidate -> Search Profile or SAP E-Recruiting -> Requisition Management -> Posting Search -> Search Profile.
First you go to IMG node Define Information Categories. Depending on the way of your enhancement you have done, you have to check if there is alredy an information category. If there is one you have to check if the extraction class is implemented in a generic way which can handle the new fields or you have to replace this class by a customer one which processes your fields. If there is no information category e.g. if you have created a new infotype you create a new information category and assign a suitable extractor class.
Then you go to node Assign Information Category Fields to a Search Profile Type and add your fields to the search profile. Here you can define if the information of the field should be available for entity search, full text search or both. When this is done you can start reindexing the search profile (be sure to include running report RCF_SES_JOIN_INDEX_CREATE).
When this is done the customer fields are available. Now you should find them in the full text search if activated and can include the fields to search masks if you defined entity search (of course for candidates only if they released their profile).
Kind regards
Roman

Integrate with SES: connector approach or embedded search approach

hi Experts:
According to the document, we have 2 options to integrate ECM11g with SES11g:
* SES connector approach
* embedded search approach
My customer needs to use a unified search engine to search ECM, internal web and file system, so SES should be used with ECM, question is which approach should be taken, what is the difference?
Best regards

Hi
SES connector approach
In this case SES and UCM have different DB schemas and for SES to search contents of UCM the feeds are created by SES Crawler Export component and placed in SES home location for it to read . It is a 2 stage approach viz 1. UCM creating the feeds 2. SES Crawling the feeds so that search can retrieve results .
Embedded search approach :
With this UCM schema is the same as SES one so that SES acts as the search indexer engine for UCM . Moment contents are checked in to UCM indexes are created on the common DB schema so that SES can directly search / display the contents from UCM .
In my view you should go for Embedded SES Search engine approach.
Thanks
Srinath

SES TREX Search Attribute + Fulltext

Hello ,
i have my own WebDynpro for the ses Search.
Now I would search
printer* and type="servicecall"
this is in trex admin tool working.
At the moment my ls_query look like this :
ls_query-value1       ='print'
    ls_query-operator     = 'EQ'.
    ls_query-content_type = 'C'.
    ls_query-rowtype = 'TERM'.

    append ls_query to lt_query.
    ls_query-rowtype = 'ATTRIBUTE'.
    ls_query-location = 'type'.
    ls_query-value1 = 'servicecall'.
    ls_query-operator = 'EQ'.
    ls_query-term_action = 'E'.
    append ls_query to lt_query.
But I receive an error :
syntax error (parsing query);
any solution for this problem ? or have someone solved this problem other ?

WCP Framework 11g and SES 11g : search results are not secured

Hello,
We are integrating WCP 11.1.1.6 and SES 11.1.2.2
we have quite a stunning issue here where the search results returned by a WCP Framework application are not secured, ie secured contents are returned in the search results for unauthenticated users and for users who have no permission on these contents.
Though, the search results are well secured in the standard SES search interface (http://seshost/search/query/).
The main concern is about results coming from WCC.
Thanks for any help,
Vince

Hi Jiri,
we managed to integrate UCM and WCP with Document Service taskflows and it works fine, ie security is well propagated for the roles we want.
WCC/UCM and WCP authenticate users via WLS which is connected to an AD.
SES has its own identity management system which authenticates users directly to the AD.
We activated the SESCrawler component in WCC/UCM and the SES/UCM crawling process is OK.
We can search for UCM contents in SES without issue and anonymous/unauthenticated search in SES doesn't return results from non-public security groups, which is what we want.
WCP search is connected to SES (which is the default setting), eg from adf-config.xml:
<searchC:adf-search-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/webcenter/search/config">
<display-properties>
<common numSavedSearches="5" />
<region-specific>
<usage id="simpleSearchResultUIMetadata" numServiceRows="5" />
<usage id="searchResultUIMetadata" numServiceRows="5" />
<usage id="localToolbarRegion" numServiceRows="5" />
</region-specific>
</display-properties>
<execution-properties timeoutMs="7000" prepareTimeoutMs="1000" />
<crawl-properties fullCrawlInterval="P5D" enableWcServicesCrawl="true" enableWcDiscussionsCrawl="true" enableWcUcmCrawl="true" />
<ses-properties>
<connection>ses</connection>
<data-group>SourceGroup</data-group>
</ses-properties>
</searchC:adf-search-config>
So the problem is that anonymous/unauthenticated search in WCP does return results from non-public security groups, which is not what we want.
eg: access to the WCP app (don't logon)
run a search
in the search results, you can see contents which are not assigned in the public security group. Though, the WCC/UCM guest role doesn't have any permission on these SG.
I can't raise SR myself.
Thanks for any 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

Queries on Enterprise Search

Hi,
I have started learning abt Enterprise Search. I have some queries on it. Pls clear my doubts.
1. It has been said that, "SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search is delivered as an appliance with the software preinstalled on dedicated hardware"
So, once necessarily needs to by the hardware to use Enterprise Search or this is just another option ? if possible some detailed explanation on it.
2.Are there some reference customers for this product ? and generally who is reference customer for a product?
3.What versions of SAP does it support ? R/3 4.6, etc.
/* points assured*/
Regards,
Art Tech.
Edited by: Art Tech on Jan 2, 2008 8:33 AM

Hi Art Tech,
I am glad that my response helped
There are customers already in rampUp but I am not aware of any details about the customers.
Regarding you query on extending the connectivity, two types of connectivity is possible.
1. Connecting to a search service provider (delegate the search to a web search engine like Google for example)
2. Connecting to a search data provider (in this case, we have to do data extraction and indexing in addition to searching)
With SAP Netweaver Enterprise Search 7.0 the first type of extension is quite easy. For the second type of extension, you would need to use say TREX to do indexing and then delegate searching to the connector and this is not provided out of the box with the product.
ERP2005 provides a search service called SES (Search Engine Services) and we utilize SES to connect to ERP2005. Since this is not available in ERP2004, we donot provide any default connectors to ERP2004 business objects.
Hope this helps.

Reghu

Meta Tag or Search Engine related?

Most SE results only search and show what's in the
Description or Title meta tags. Do I need to do something specific
where the search engine will search the CONTENT of the pages,
rather than what's in the Meta tags, or is this just a trait of how
some search engines work? Thanks!

Precisely! And that's why I was careful to not refer to it as
such: "Title
and Description tags"
