Talent Management - Talent Search and Enterprise Search

Hi All,
We are on ECC 6, Portal 7 SP3.
We are using Talent Management Business Package. Under Talent Management-> Talent Information, there is an iView called Talent Search(which is based on the Webdynpro ABAP "hrtmc_search").
For this Search functionality I have read that SAP Netweaver Enterprise Search is needed.
My question is:
1. Is TREX required for Talent Search. I've read that it can be integrated with Enterprise Search. Please note that we are not using KM and Collaboration.
2. Is it necessary to integrate AS Java with Enterprise Search since it will only be used for Talent Search iView which is in any case a webdynpro abap application.
So in this case Enterprise Search will only be integrated with AS ABAP / ERP system - Is this assumption correct.
Your input and help is much appreciated..
RD

Hi RD,
the TREX you will need for this will be specific to HCM and called via HCM's own strategy in ECC 6.0. This - for all I know - should be through AS ABAP for indexing and AS Java for searching.
This should have nothing to do with the Portal's access to TREX, as the functionality is HCM's, even if provided to Portal in an iView. For the specifics, please check your HCM Master Guide and other documentation and/or discuss with your technical consultant for ECC 6.0.
Best, Karsten

Problem with removing Search and Advanced Search functionalities in Portal

Hi,
      As per our client requirement, we have removed search and advanced search functionalities in Masthead and those are working fine. But when ever we restarted the portal server, these search options are reappearing in portal.
          I am not getting why it is happening and every time we restarted the server, we are removing these search functionalities from masthead.
          If anyone knows why it is happening, kindly share with us
Thanks & Regards

Talent Management TREX and Enterprise Search

Hi All,
in the area of talent management I try to use the TREX search functionality. I have two problems:
1) For Connector HRTMC_AES_DOCUMETS no indexes are available although I started indexing many times. Other Connectors have active indexes. Appraisal documents exist in the system. The indexing and search for hrtmc_aes_templates are successful.
2) How does the connector hrtmc structural authority work. If I do a search for my username on this connector I get a result. If I do a search for a colleagues username on the same connector I get no result. If this colleague wants to search for e.g. a central person he gets no result. How can I fill up the index for struct authorization with the colleagues username?
many thanks for answers and have a nice day
Martin

Integration of Oracle RDF and Enterprise Search

Hi,
Has anyone tried integrating Enterprise Search with the new RDF feature to enable true semantic search?

It would be interesting to hear from people who have tried this in an application.
As an FYI, using RDF query capabilities in Oracle, simple PL/SQL code can be written to do this. Consider search based on a query term X. SDO_RDF_MATCH can be used to find all terms related to X in a given ontology/RDF data set. All these terms can then be used in the 'Contains' operator that is part of Oracle Text, to find all documents in a table that contain any of those terms. We have some sample code to do this, if you are interested write to me at melliyal <dot> annamalai <at> oracle <dot> com. Tighter integration is being planned in a future release as well.
RDF queries can be also combined with other relational queries. An example in Oracle of simple SQL to combine querying RDF with a relational query is as follows:
SELECT emp1.name, emp1.salary
FROM emp1, TABLE(SDO_RDF_MATCH(
'(?name :fatherOf :Matt)',
SDO_RDF_Models('family'),
null,
SDO_RDF_Aliases(SDO_RDF_Alias('','http://www.example.org/family/')),
null)) t where emp1.name=t.name;
The father of Matt is found by querying the family model (represented using RDF) using SDO_RDF_MATCH, and his salary is found out by doing a join with the table emp. Since the output of SDO_RDF_MATCH is a table, it can be easily joined with other relational data.

Talent management: talent information

Hi gurus,
I've used a day or two trying to locate this issue, can't seem to find anything, so hopefully some of you have experienced this before.
Currently I'm working on what's supposed to display in talent information in portal, and the weird thing is that some employees gives results on all the fields, and some are almost blank. The fields are defined, and new fields are created through BAdI, these works fine. I tried to change the org unit of some persons (into test org unit), to get real PERNR (which is the statement for one of the fields), and not only fictional PERNR from the test persons, here is where the issues starts.
Ref IMG documentation:
"If you want to implement the Talent Management and Talent Development application, a Business Partner (object type BP) object must exist for each of the central persons (object type CP) in your system."
I access transaction SA38, and runs the program HR_SYNC_PERSON. What I've found out, is that persons with IT6 result in a Basic Data error, people without IT6 runs smoothly through, and displays all wanted information. Why is that, how can it be that persons with address data won't work? IT6 uses time constraint 1, and deletion is not a option. How can I solve this?
QUESTION: Have any of you defined XXDEFAULT as a address type (cross client)? IMG-path: SPRO u2013 SAP BP u2013 BP u2013 Basic settings u2013 Address determination u2013 Define address types
- This may solve the issue, but I'm not comfortable doing changes cross client. Hope there are other solutions.
I would really appreciate some help, and please ask if more information is needed.

Hi Smriti,
You cannot search for Talent Group = ''. Try Talent Group = '*' instead.
For the second issue, it looks an issue with the Talent Group names. First, check SAP Note 1555220 - Activation of advanced search for TMS to ensure that you have the prerequisite SAP Notes installed. I would also raise an OSS message as there doesn't appear to be any SAP Notes on the issue.

Document search and knowledge search

Hi All,
I have seen two work centres on interaction center:
document search and knowledge serach.
what is the difference between the two.
how can we configure the same.
please provide some docs.
Thanks,
Priya

Hello Priya,
Knowledge Search is used to search for solutions to problems using the Software Agent Framework (SAF) to search against the Solution Database (SDB) or other knowledge repositories that you configure (such as Case Management or Service Tickets).
The Document Search is for searching for related documents that might be linked to the confirmed account using Content Management.
You can find detailed information and configuration instructions in the online help.
Warm regards,
John

Talent Management - Talent Review Meeting - Nominations under Participants

Hi experts,
In talent group, I have nominated some employees under a manager. Then during the creation of the Talent Review Meeting, when I add the manager as the participant, I do not see the nominees under the manager which I nominated earlier.
Did I miss any steps/configuration to this so that those nominated will appear under their respective manager?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric,
In order to fix a bug with the Calibration Grid, the following values need to be entered into table T77TMCAESFIELD. This can be done via IMG > Talent Management and Talent Development > Basic Settings > Adjusting the User Interfaces > Configurations for Data Retrieval > Extend Fields Selection > Adjust Data Retrieval for Appraisals, Evaluations, and Surveys
RISK
IMPACT_LOSS
CHANGE_NEED
The values can be dummy values (i.e. just the name and the validity dates) or, if using Risk, it can be a VB object from the appropriate Talent Assessment form(s).
Best regards,
Luke

Linear search and binary search

Hi
can any one tell me what is linear and binary search in detail.
and what is the difference between them .
which one is useful in coding.
Thanks&Regards,
S.GangiReddy.

hi,
If you read entries from standard tables using a key other than the default key, you can use a binary search instead of the normal linear search. To do this, include the addition BINARY SEARCH in the corresponding READ statements.
READ TABLE <itab> WITH KEY <k1> = <f1>... <kn> = <fn> <result> BINARY SEARCH.
The standard table must be sorted in ascending order by the specified search key. The BINARY SEARCH addition means that you can access an entry in a standard table by its key as quickly as you would be able to in a sorted table.
REPORT demo_int_tables_read_index_bin.
DATA: BEGIN OF line,
        col1 TYPE i,
        col2 TYPE i,
      END OF line.
DATA itab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF line.
DO 4 TIMES.
line-col1 = sy-index.
line-col2 = sy-index ** 2.
APPEND line TO itab.
ENDDO.
SORT itab BY col2.
READ TABLE itab WITH KEY col2 = 16 INTO line BINARY SEARCH.
WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC =', sy-subrc.
The output is:
SY-SUBRC =    0
The program fills a standard table with a list of square numbers and sorts them into ascending order by field COL2. The READ statement uses a binary search to look for and find the line in the table where COL2 has the value 16.
Linear search use sequential search means each and every reord will be searched to find. so it is slow.
Binary search uses logrim for searching. Itab MUST be sorted on KEY fields fro binary search. so it is very fast.
The search takes place as follows for the individual table types :
standard tables are subject to a linear search. If the addition BINARY SEARCH is specified, the search is binary instead of linear. This considerably reduces the runtime of the search for larger tables (from approximately 100 entries upwards). For the binary search, the table must be sorted by the specified search key in ascending order. Otherwise the search will not find the correct row.
sorted tables are subject to a binary search if the specified search key is or includes a starting field of the table key. Otherwise it is linear. The addition BINARY SEARCH can be specified for sorted tables, but has no effect.
For hashed tables, the hash algorithm is used if the specified search key includes the table key. Otherwise the search is linear. The addition BINARY SEARCH is not permitted for hashed tables.
Binary search must be preffered over linear sarch.
Hope this is helpful, Do reward.

Difference between Binary search and Linear search

Dear all,
If anyone helps me to get the basic difference between binary and Linear search in SAP environment.
Regards

Hi,
In case of linear search system will search from begining.
that means Example : z table contains single field with values
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
if u r searching for a value then system will starts from
first position. if required value is founded then execution
will comes out from z table.
In case of binary search system will starts from mid point.
if value is not founded then it will search for upper half.
in that upper half it will check mid point.like that search
will takes place.
Thanks,
Sridhar

Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange. It keeps changing my default browser from Google to Only Search, and my search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click a link

Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange lately! It keeps changing my default browser automatically from Google to Only Search (if you use the search engine Only Search it takes you to Yahoo.com). My search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do to make it Google. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click on a link. What is worn with my computer and how do I fix it?!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

I use both add to search and organize search, FF34 has no search box, how do I add one?

I tend to use Site Search, if available, instead of bookmarks, I use "add to searchbar" to make the proper xml file, and then I use organize search to group by category.. (373 user search xml files currently) as soon as FireFox upgraded to 34, I see a blank space on the toolbar instead of the searchbox.. I need the searchbox to get at all my saved search providers. BTW, "Search Using" works normal, providing my expected menu of organized providers. Same problem/symptoms, both Windows 7 systems I use.

If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.
In the address bar, type '''about:preferences#search<enter>'''
If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

Trex "synonym search" and taxonomy "search from here" issues

Hi Trex experts
I have two minor issues regarding Trex and Taxonomies
<b>Taxonomy</b>
I have created a Taxonomy and need to add the search from here function so its possible to create a more specific search from within one are of the taxonomy.
When I add a layout set where this command is enabled then its not shown.
I guess that its my repository manager for the Trex repository that I need to add a service to, but I cant figure out which one, or is this feature not possible for taxonomies?
<b>Trex</b>
Is it possible to define synonym search entries? Like I need to create a dependency on a bunch of terms, like when a user for example search for vacation then search for holiday should be included automatically in the search result as well. Is there some kind of configuration file where I can add a list of dependencies?
Thanks in advance
Regards
John

Hi John,
Related to synomym you should read this material:
"How to Enable Semantic Search or Search for Synonyms in TREX"
Related to taxonomy, the answer is yes it is possible.
If "search from here" botton is not shown, is due to you don't create an index (search option).
Patricio.
