Third-party search engines for indexing BI data

Has anyone had experience using third-party search engines for indexing data in BI7? We are looking into a product by QuePlix that uses a Google search appliance to index data in BI as well as other OLAP tools, and we'd be interested in hearing anyone else who is using QuePlix or any other search tool.
SAP is working on its own TREX-based search tool, but it looks like it's still a ways off.
Our goal is near-instant response for search queries - for example, if a user enters a cost center into the search engine, it would bring back financials, headcount, etc. for that cost center.
Thanks,
Jason

The BI Accelerator has been renamed to BW Accelerator (BWA)...
BWA does index the data - the data is indexed and stored in a proprietary file system on a high speed SAN. This is done because the BWA does not have a database of its own and is designed as an appliance.
The index file is loaded onto main memory while querying and then TREX searched the indices and the data is returned by the BWA to the OLAP processor.
The BWA main memory is a FIFO system where the index files are loaded into.
I have seen TREX being used for metadata but sparingly ... the only place I have seen TREX being used for data is in the BWA. will read through the links on netweaver search technology and see if I can find anything more. thanks for the links...

  • How to improve the performance for integrating third party search engine

    hi,
    I have been working on integrating verity search engine with KM. the performance for retrieving search result totally depend on how many search result returned, for example if there is less than 10 records, it only takes 3 seconds, but if there are 200 records, it takes about 3 minutes, is it normal? anyway to improve it? Thanks!
    T.J.

    Thilo,
    thanks for the response, would you recommend some document for configuring KM cache service, I did change memory cache, and also dynamic web reposity, whatelse out there that I can change? right now, I have one instance(EP6.4 sp11) works well, it returns 200 records from Stellent within 6s. But when I put this KM global service on EP6.0 sp2 (our current system) it takes about 15s. I am not sure is this because of different EP version, or something else. I have tried my best to slim down SOAP component from Stellent. I don't think anything else can be done from that side anymore. before I changed the SOAP, it tooks about 60s. just wonder what else I can do on KM side to improve it performance? Thanks!

  • Issues with integrating third party search engine

    hi,
    I have two issues.
    1. my integration with Stellent verity search engine is working for the first time, but when I search again, nothing return, even on the same search criteria. I wonder something wrong with session object, please explain how session, rawsession object works related to getSearchResult(). session object is returned instead rawsession in executeQueryWithSession(), even though rawSearchResult has been set on rawSession.
    2. it is very slow for the search result to return, though all the URL are valid. any way to improve the speed?
    thanks!
    T.J.

    Hi T.J.,
    the session object itself is normally not the problem. Have you checked that your dynamic WebRM has ha valid cache life time? Nevertheless the cache for the dynamic WebRM should have a life time value of at least 1 min or more (depending on how long you expect your users to browse on the search result)
    The performace of the federated search depends on the call time to each connected search engine. It can currently only speed up by the implementation of your search engine. Try to measure the connect time from the IndexService implementation to the search engine. In most cases this is the bottle neck.

  • What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database?

    Dear All,
    Can you please help me with the below question?
    What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database? Please let me know if you know their feedback and also licensing/cost information

    Why would you spend money to purchase a third-party tool that will be, almost by definition, less secure than the tools inside the product you already own and paid for?
    http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/pkgs/dbms_crypto.html
    But were I to have any to recommend one I would not do so without knowing information you seem to consider unimportant such as:
    1. Operating system
    2. Database edition and version
    3. What type of data needs to be secured
    4. What level of security is required

  • 3rd Party Search Engine Integration - some property not rendering

    Hi,
    I have tried to integrate a 3rd Party Search Engine into TREX following the published example.
    I have successfully integrated and search results from the 3rd party engine are showing up.
    However, some properties like cm_description, cm_contentlength, cm_modifedby are not rendering; their value are null; the search layout are specified correctly.
    I only managed to set
    1) cm_displayname
    2) cm_contenttype
    3) cm_id
    and are showing up.
    The setting of the rest of the properties are done in the same way and put into the propertymap.
    Any idea why are the not rendering?? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello Thilo,
    I tried to deploy the original package com.customer.search.par, but unfortunately I got also an error with this package.
    The disadvantage is, that I don't get an error message during start-up in one of the logger - for cause analysis.
    I got the following error message within KM:

  • The best third party recovery software for  OS X?

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Am using Firefox 5.0.1, any new tabs open with a search engine for imvu and when I go to about:config there is no entry for browser.newtab.url that I can modify

    I am using Firefox 5.0.1.4205 with Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack1. My new tabs in Firefox open with a search engine for imvu rather than google as I would prefer. I can't find an answer to my problem so far because when I try the recommended use of about:config and finding browser.newtab.url; it is not listed. Is this version of firefox to old to have that, or is it just missing? What can I do to get my new tabs to open with a Google search engine. This is on my 80 year old father's computer so he is not likely to upgrade browsers as I would on my home computer. Thank you for any help with this.

    The new tab page (about:newtab) wasn't introduced until a later version of Firefox (iirc, ''Firefox 10'') , which is why that pref can't be found.
    Sounds like your father picked up some Malware.
    Maybe this is what you're dealing with.

  • How can I add my software in Adobe's Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro ?

    Hi,
    Our company have a software called Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere.
    Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere is a recommended FLV, MPG, RMVB, HD  video import plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro. This plug-in enables users  to import FLV videos with various codec like AVC/H.264, AAC, Screen  Video, Nellymoser, MP3, PCM, and Sorenson H.263. Besides FLV video, the  plug-in allows AVCHD import and HD video import in MTS, M2TS, TP, TS,  and MKV formats.
    Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere do not convert your video so it keeps  video quality for you. The plug-in automatically detects the Adobe Premiere versions on your  machine and you can choose the versions to install the plug-in. It  currently supports Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0/1.5/2.0/CS3/CS4 and Elements  3.0/4.0/7.0/8.0.
    I notice in Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro this part, Adobe didn't get any such plug-ins. They only have two file support plug-ins and Moyea Importer can fill the blank.
    Now I want to submit this software on Adobe's site but I don't know where to submit or who I should to contact. Any suggestions? I really need your help and I am sure it is really good software.

    Any suggestion? Admin of this board? Who can help me

  • Support validity question about installing and configuring SP13 on same machine as FAST to use both as search engines for SP2010

    Hi,
    I have a SharePoint 2010 farm which is using its own servers.
    This farm has a FAST Search for SharePoint server which is a standalone on a dedicated server.
    This farm is my testing staging environment and not a Production environment, eventhough its almost an exact copy of the Production farm.
    I would like to replace the FAST server with SharePoint 2013 as a search engine for my SharePoint 2010 farm.
    Because i have a standalone deployment of FAST on a dedicated server and i dont have any more servers to add to this farm,
    I would like to install SharePoint 2013 on same server as FAST while FAST is still active, connect it to the 2010 farm and do some tests before i will remove the FAST content and query SSA's.
    I would like to know if installing a SP2013 on same machine as FAST is supported by Microsoft as long as the FAST is not connected to the SP2013? (performance is not an issue)
    What about All in one machines like development servers, is it supported by Microsoft to install FAST on same machine as SP2010 farm? (again, performance is not an issue)
    thanks,
    Guy

    I would like to know if this scenario is supported by microsoft.
    This installation will be for testing purposes only, if there are any issues with installing SharePoint2013 on a FAST search machine, i would like to know what kind of problems i may run into.
    I'd also like to clear out that this FAST and SharePoint2013 are not comunicating with eachother but with a SharePoint2010 farm that is configured on different servers.
    I would really appreciate direct answers to these questions.
    thanks for your answers,
    Guy

  • Is a third-party tool required for data extraction to non-SAP system?

    Hi,
    I want to extract data to non-SAP systems with the open hub service.
    If I choose Database tables as open hub destinations, I would like to know if a third-party tool is mandatory and if it's possible to send data directly from database tables in BW to non-SAP systems.
    Many thanks
    Ella

    you can choose a flat file on the application server and then transffer the file from the application server to other server where you want to use.
    in case you want to use the table in the open hub service. any other software that can connect to oracle db / the databasee you have and can access the data from the table.

  • How to connect to third party using PI for outbound and inbound interfaces

    Hello,
    I have scenarios where I have data coming in from third party EDI subsystem and sent to SAP. And also from SAP to EDI subsystem. We need to send the XMLs to the EDI subsystema nd also receive XMLs.
    Can someone please suggest the ways I can connect to EDI subsytem for both Outbound and Inbound interfaces.
    Thanks

    Hi Prabhu,
    EDI file is different from the normal flat or xml file. Hope you understand the difference.
    Now if your EDI subsytem has the capability of converting the xml file to edi file viceversa then create and receive the xml file from the EDI subsystem. For the xml file you may use the file adapter as an option.
    If it doesnot have the capability then seeburger adapter needs to  be used. This is not an inbuilt adapter. So your company needs to purchase it.
