Talent Search w/o TREX

Hi everyone,
we are on EHP5 and started implementing Talent Management functionality.
When we came across to Talent Specialist part, we realised that TREX is mandatory to be able to do talent search.
We are looking for a way to do be able to use Talen Specialist role w/o implementing TREX server. I know it's not possible with SAP's standard customising / configuration method, but I think there should be a workaround to bypass TREX and do the search with some Webynpro ABAP codes. Because we really do not need very complicated search. Just a simple name, personnel number, etc. kind of search.
Thanks,
Can

Hi,
Of course the data is available on your R/3 system as well, so it can be searched. But it will require quite a lot of custom development. The question is also if it can be integrated seamlessly into the TM application.
So, you would need to develop some back-end functions for data retrieval/search. And a UI to perform the actions with (so Webdynpro in your case most likely.
So, as I was unable to extract the question I just give an answer I think would fit
Yes, technically it is possible to create your custom search, all the data is available on your system. But besides the high effort to implement (depending on your detailed requirements) you can also run into a performance issue (lots of data needs to be processed).
Hope this helps.
Regards and Groetjes,

  • Getting error as "Error occurred during your search, contact your system administrator" while using talent search in portal (TREX)

    Hello Experts,
         We are facing an issue like when our Talent specialist are trying to use talent search through their portal they are getting an error like "Error occurred during your search, contact your system administrator" as shown below.
         We have checked in our backend and for all the talent specialist search results are showing successfully.
         Anyone of you kindly help us to get this sorted out.

    Hi Sarabjeet,
    The XML iView uses server-side fetching, so if you are having problems with a regular URL iView in server-side fetching mode, so the problem with the XML iVIew probably has to do with the proxy settings.
    And since you got a 407 error, it seems there is an issue with proxy settings or the proxy server, as mentioned in this description of 407 error:
    The HTTP 407 code only applies to users who are accessing the Internet behind a proxy server. This is common in government and corporate workplaces. The 407 code indicates that your computer must first authenticate itself with your company's proxy server. Check with your IT department or computer support group as to the exact reason why you may be getting this error. It may be possible that the proxy server does not allow downloads of specific files (exe, cab, com). You can also verify that your proxy server settings are valid.
    I will check if I can find out any more specific info.

  • Talent Search-Trex- ESH_Cockpit-Error while preparing

    Hello,

But while trying to create the search object connector using ESH_Cockpit, I am getting the message 'Error while preparing' for all the connectors exept the connector HTRMC Person. These Connector is working. For an example here is the protocoll for indexing the connector HTRMC central person which is one who doesn't work:

    Hi Jürgen,
    this is not much information. Which EHP you are using? EHP7 ?
    please delete all Connectors and try to use backend report ESH_ADM_INDEX_ALL_SC..mark all checkboxes and select software component: EA-HRRXX
    If this does not help you can get more information if you start fopr each connector the report with the correspnding variant as mentioned in the log. E.g.:
    ESH_SE_CONNECTOR_MOD_BGD variant &0000000000009 ( pleease use alwys the last variant in the log.) This will gif you futher information.

  • Advanced talent search - trex

    Hello,
    we do have the following issue with the advanced talent search:
    The search result shows 17 lines, but only 3 lines contain a name and person number.
    The other 14 lines are empty.
    The three displayed persons do have a picture assigned (archive link).
    We suppose that persons without an assigned picture are just not displayed.
    So we don't now how to resolve this problem. We don't have modified the advanced talent search.
    TIA,

    Hi Jürgen,
    Please see the document Common TREX issues which specifies:
    This issue occurs when Business Partner objects (object type BP) do not exist or are not synchronized for each Central Person object (object type CP).  See this blog on Business Partner objects in SAP HCM Talent Management.
    So basically run the synchronization report to create/sync missing BP objects and it should be resolved.
    Best regards,

    TREX also uses gateway programs.
    Check with your basis folks or tcode SMGW (go to --> expert functions --> external security) to see whether it is restricted.
    There are also some SAP notes about this...

  • 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

  • Talent Management Specialist 1.40 with Talent Search iview

    The new Talent Search iview is based off of the WD4A app HRTMC_SEARCH (and component HRTMC_SEARCH
    Does anybody know if TREX is a requirement for this Iview...or can you configure it to use a different search mechanism?

    Dear Ferguson,
    For the HRTCM - Trex is required to do any search.
    Please ref :
    1)  SAP Note : 1273780
    2)  SAP Note : 1249465
    You should be able to use different search product, Like MOSS (MS) or even Google's Product but how will they work and how can you link them is a big ques.
    Let me share our experience
    The search will work based on two component.
    1) Indexing - ABAP this is already there as Embedded Search
    2) Search - Java this is the search tool in our case TREX
                     - there are two options Single host (Works on Windows)* and multiple host (only on Unix/redhat)
    *not mentioned on the note
    Thus is as far as i have come on this

    Is trex installed?
    . Please create an connection and schedule the creation of
    search connectors + initial full indexing using job ESH_ADM_INDEX_ALL_SC
    and or using the Enterprise Search Cockpit (transaction esh_cockpit).
    Please read also the documentation regarding Deltaindexing (specially
    for HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW search connector, wich is modeled to index
    Authorization).
    Please see also IMG activities IMG->Talent Management->Basick

  • Talent Search not showing name for one employee

    Hi
    I am facing issue in talent search, it is not showing employee name after search. This is happening only for one user, means surely it will be master data issue,application is working fine.
    But now I want where to see that data maintained.
    Please help with this if anyone knows about it.
    -Yogesh

    Hi Yogesh,
    If it is only one employee that it isn't showing for then it could be authorizations. Some other suggestions are:
    - Incorrect or no name for CP object
    - Incorrect authorizations of user used for delta-indexing
    My guess would to be to look at authorizations first.
    Best regards,

  • Report Search Statistics in TREX 7.0

    we are needing to report out on what search requests our TREX environment is receiving.
    We have two approaches we have been looking at:
    note 937055 details a python script that could be used for TREX 6.1. Has anyone been able to adapt it for 7.0? (it doesn't just drop in, file structure of the TREX install appears to be different). I was able to run the script, but I still cannot get results (and I have referred to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=131584&messageID=1471437#1471437).
    We see a different approach in the webinar from Bettina Knauss on Dec 12, 2007, but we are suspecting that since that presentation was for TREX 7.1, and the functionality is marked new (page 52), that it does not exist for TREX 7.0. Can anyone cast any light on this?

    Hi Douglas
    I saw the presentation "live" done by Bettina Knauss, but I cannot remember if it was only valid for TREX 7.1. If you find an answer to your question, please update this thread as it is an interesting functionality.
    Best regards,

  • Talent Management - Enhancing talent search

    Hi Leah,
    Chris' blog sure is great! I hope the below information is helpful.
    1) As far as I am aware you need to extend the Advanced Search so that you can use the same field again.
    2) I can't help here unfortuantely
    3) TREX uses one-to-one relationships when returning results so you will only ever get 1 (or none if there are multiple records!) result. This is set to change in TREX 7.2 from what I understand.
    Best regards,
    Luke

    Hi Erik,
    We meet again! The Advanced search should be available by default if TREX is configured and connected correctly. If the standard search works then TREX is connected correctly.
    You could try SAP note 1550930 (Search: Various corrections for the advanced search). There are lots of TMC Search SAP notes under PA-TM so I would do a search there. These notes might also be worth implementing:
    1378537 - TMS: Advanced search for managers returns incorrect results
    1421347 - TMS: Advanced search for managers: Managers are missing
    1423708 - TMC search: Delta indexing for authorization data
    1539110 - TMC search: Corrections u2013 combined search
    1548337 - Search: Enabling multiple selection (EHP 4)
    1561031 - Search: Various corrections for the advanced search #2
    There are also lots of other useful SAP notes that correct errors with drop-down lists, Functional Area search, form of address etc. I could write a whole blog on them...
    Good luck!

  • Talent search: advanced search multiple selection

    Dear Guru's
    We have setup the TREX and are using the advanced search for talent management. Everything is working fine except if we use the multiple selection option for a field. We have definied our own search field to search for (a range of) salary scale. However if we use the multiple selection and  try to search for e.g. range 05 till 07 the engine only searches for the 05 value and not for 06 and 07. This also appears using  ESH_TEST_SEARCH and also appears within SAP fields such as organizational unit etc.
    We are on SAPBASIS SAPKB70210
                    SAPHR      SAPKE60460  
    Any suggestions ?
    Kind regards Stephan

    Hi Stephan,
    It looks like you're on 604 SP 60 but it's component EA-HRGXX that is important to check. These SAP Notes are useful to implement for the Advanced Search and do cover some of your symptoms.
    1548337 - Search: Enabling multiple selection (EHP 4)

  • Doc/metadata search not using TREX - max files to search?

    Hi,
    We are creating WebDynPros searching a CM repository for documents with certain values on metadata properties.  I know this is kind of "brute force" instead of using TREX classification.
    Is there some way of saying how many documents in a folder structure can be searched in 2 seconds?  Say we are using dual 2.8GHz CPU and 8 GB RAM in the server.  Using KMC6.0.9.0.0.
    I am also interested in knowing more about TREX APIs.  I see they have not provided an official API - is there an unofficial with some guides?
    All feedback is appreciated.

    Hi Bjorn,
    > Is there some way of saying how many documents in a
    > folder structure can be searched in 2 seconds?
    Mainly, this will depend on your DB. I would suggest just to measure some information retrieval, that's done quite fast and will return far more exact values than any estimation.
    > knowing more about TREX APIs. I see they have not
    > provided an official API - is there an unofficial with
    > some guides?
    There is no offical nor any unofficial - as far as I know - API doc for direct TREX access. But what is documented is the indirect access via KM API, see for example https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/using the km indexmanagement apis for searching with trex.article
    Hope it helps
