Text search in Forms files

Hallo,
we have a problem here as we do need to do some changes to existing forms concerning one of the functionalities.
We just need to know WHERE (in which procedure or function) certain text apperars,
so that we can correct the functionality.
We tried to locate the text within FMB and FMT files but even if we could we were not able to find out in which procedure this text is used.
can anyone out there help with this ???
-Duro

Hallo all,
it is NOT the problem to locate the text I need to find in the fmb, or fmx.
The problem is that since I want to change not only the text but also some more code around I want to do this in Form Builder - Object Navigator. And I'm not able to discover in which trigger or procedure the text appears.
I do not want to edit fmx, or fmb in a text editor because I suupose theer are some checksums hidden for the format.
-duro
BTW in FMT there is no code seen (only some binary) for v6i as it was in v4.5.

Full text search of .pdf files in a file table.

I have installed the Adobe iFilter 11 64 bit and set the path to the bin folder. I still cannot find any text from the pdf files. I suspect I am missing something trivial because I don't find much when I Bing for this so it must not be a common problem.
Here is the code.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run: sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

How does full-text search for pdf files work?

Hi there,
Basically I can see my pdf file in the content server.. inside the pdf there's a piece of test that says: "Test's Sample" but when I do a search with that string the file gets filtered from the results.
I think it has to do with the ' (single quote) being there because other text in the pdf works fine.. so I was wondering how does VDK store this full text? where? I'd like to see how it gets translated IF that's how it works with pdf files....
Following advice from Re: Parse error with search query I tried doing the search by:
Test\'s Sample
Test`s Sample
"Test's Sample"
The database is db2 if that helps.. how can I fix this problem?

Nevermind, I fixed it by changing the VDK filters (in case someone is looking for a solution too).
Cheers,

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action

Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.

George
Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

Load dynamic text into Captivate form external file

Is it possible to load dynamic text into a Captivate file from an external file like an XML using Javascript.
I see there's a way to get it form the query scring of the URL ( http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/ ), but I have a project where I want several pieces of text to be replaced and we want to be able to edit it externally from the Captivate file.
Thanks!

Hi Ned,
What I'm doing is using a yahoo map to load addresses and
place custom swf files as the placemarkers. The main stage has an
instance of myMap, which is the map that yahoo sets us to display
the ACTUAL map. They have also provided coding for placing markers
on the map, which is what I'm using.
I have the addresses throughout multiple xml files, which I
am actually loading through 1 single xml file. These addresses are
being stored in an array, then called by the AS below to place
markers. All the markers are placed correctly, however, I am trying
to have them actually say the address - this is where the problem
lies.
The marker that is being located and placed has a text field
called load_text in it. I want that field to load the same address
that is being used to place it (from the array addressA).
I'm very confused because every loop through the * for (i=0;
i<addressA.length; i++) * loop the marker is placed at the
correct addressA
location, but I cannot actually get the address to load into the
load_txt field in the marker. I can even run a trace during that
loop and it traces addressA for each address, but I can't seem
to actually load those values into the load_txt box.
Do you have any ideas?

Original application file Text search

Hi DMS Gurus,
we Have a common requirement of finding the DIR by using the word or sentence present inside the Original application file.
can any one please let me know the complete requirement for this, is this feature inbuilt in standard DMS system using Content Server.
I have did the basic configuration in transaction code SKPR07).
Enter the document class : DMS_PCD1.
Select: Edit / Administration.
A dialog box appears where the following data is preset,
Document Area : DMS
Administration table: DMS1DIDSTA
Class can be indexed: X
Set the indicator: Setup indexing.
and MIME text type is already present for Word, Excel, Pdf, PPT file type in Standard.
the Text search with original window appeared in CV04N but entering any text inside the Original it is unable to find the original.
is there any other setting i have to make please let me know.
Does this necessiates really installation of
1) A new Trex server for this process.
2) can this Trex server be installed inside Content server
points Awaiting .
Thanks in Advance
Kumar K

Hi DMS Gurus and SAPIENS,
Welcome to New Year 2009, Wish you all and your family a Very Happy Prosperous, Peacefull, and sucessfull New Year 2009.
Like we all know any Word document in a PC or System can also be searched by giving the known Words in the file as the search criteria.
why there is any 3rd Party software required to avail this feature, that too in DMS which mainly deals with external Documents.
will be more happy if this can be achived with SAP-DMS standard funtionality or configuration.
if Like the TREX server has to be Integrated with DMS Server as a stand alone server?
will this be Completely Taken care by Basis or Functional involvement is required.
Please Clarify.

Oracle text search not working for WSDL files

I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
Query details
===========
create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
Thanks a lot,
Santhi

Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

Can I have a Text Search in HTML Help output?

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Robohelp and while testing the possible output methods I found that there is no internal text search function available for the Microsoft HTML Help (.chm) file.
Does anyone know if it is possible to enable this function?
Thank you
Holli

Hi Holli
Perhaps try creating a brand new window?
Make sure Microsoft HTML Help is your Primary Layout by right-clicking it in the Single Source Layouts recipe box.
Then open the Project Set-up pod and create a new window.
Then in the Single Source Layout recipe, make sure you choose the new window you just created.
Recompile and check.
Cheers... Rick

Full-Text Search has not worked since we upgraded to 2012

I have a filestream database and table. Our full-text searches have always worked until we upgraded to SQL 2012 in December. Now, no file that has been uploaded since December is searchable. What has gone wrong here. It should have been
a clean upgrade. We are not getting any error messages. We are just not getting any records returned when we search on a word that we know are in the documents we've uploaded since December (for instance, the word 'aluminum').
Filestream is enabled for the instance.
A full-text catalog exists and contains a full-text index (the same one we've always had). Full-text indexing is ENABLED.
I've tried rebuilding the catalog and the index. I've tried to do a FULL POPULATION on the table.
We haven't changed our queries nor the way the files are uploaded.
Nothing works. I have been a database administrator since the SQL 2005 days and I have never seen anything like this.
Please help.

Hi GINGER PIERCE,
Since the issue regards SQL Server Search. I will help you post the question in the related forums. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
According to your description, in theory , if you can do a full-text search for SQL Server 2008, when upgrading the SQL Server version from 2008 to 2012, the Full text indexing feature should be run well in SQL Server 2012 databases. If not , you can try
to restore your database from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012, create an new Full-Text Catalog and Index on the table or view in the database, and then use Full Text Index to search words, phrases and multiple forms of word or phrase via FREETEXT() and
CANTAINS() with “and” or “or” operators. check if it is normal that the full-text search feature is enabled in the SQL Server 2012 instance. For more information , see:
Full Text Search step by step in SQL Server 2012.
Note: In SQL Server 2012 SP1 ， the server will report that Full Text Search is not supported in this edition of SQL Server when it clearly is. The workaround is to create the initial catalog by using a T-SQL query:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG
In addition, since it is a fileStream database, we need to verify if you do Full Text Searches on documents in FileTables, if yes, you should enable FileStream database for your SQL Server, and enable FileTable options for the database. For more information,
see:
Full Text Searches on Documents in FileTables.
