Transform TREX search results to RSS-feed

Is it possible to transform the results of a search query to a rss-feed or an xml file that can be used by a feed reader?
Basic idea is to create an information service that runs a scheduled search on defined topics and provides the results in a list that can be sent by email or combined with search results from other sources, e.g. Google News.
Is using the Open Search API the right way?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Richard,
I think, you will mostly have to discuss this with Google. Just like TREX has ways to assume other engines results as TREX' own, Google may have these ways. But integration will mostly have to come "top down" from Google in that case.
And it might be easier to find a way to make your pages (it's a catalog, I assume?) accessible to the Google Crawlers, rather than trying to handover the index.

I'd like a search keyword-based RSS Feed for iOS apps. Possible?

It's great that Apple offers a variety of RSS feeds for the iTunes store. I'd like to be able to further hone the feed to particular search-based keywords. For example, limit the top paid apps to just those about dogs or some other long-tail (I did NOT mean that as a pun :-) ) keyword term. Is this possible?
Alternatively, if one could convert Apple JSON-based searches into an RSS feed, that would do the trick, too. An example JSON feed:
http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=dog&entity=iPadSoftware&limit=200

TREX Search Result Layout: Can you change it?

Hi,
Is it possible to have different flavors for the TREX Search Result Layout?
Ideally would be through the use of parameters in the typical TREX URL. I know that "Navigation.xml" file is hard-coded.....
Thanks.
Dick

Hi Thilo,
Thanks.
But I want to use my new LayoutSet using the URL-based interface to TREX:
https://xxxx.xxxx.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.service?startpage=searchpage&configfilename=navigation.xml&resourcelisttype=com.sapportals.wcm.searchresultlist&searchtype=ctrlpers&selectedsearchin=from_here&selectedsearchfromhere=/room_extensions/cm_stores/pm_storage/workspaces/d4919b6d-ff00-0010-439b-9a59dec17c56&querystring=dog&searchvisible=false&showoptions=false&allowedsortprops=false&selectedsearchaction=fuzzy&selectedmatchesperpage=5&enablesearchsorting=false.

Unable to retreive custom properties for WPC pages in TREX search result

Hi All,
We have created couple of custom properties "custom_news_heading" and "custom_news_abstract" which are indexable and made it available for all folders and documents.
In web pages folder in one of the WPC web site we have created few pages. In details screen for those pages we have updated those custom propeties with some text.
We have created an Index out of that web pages folder and able to see indexed count as same as the pages inside the web pages folder.
For that index the "Display Index Details" screen in TREX monitor is not showing up the custom properties - means TREX is not considering those custom properties even if have flagged it as Indexable.
Search result is returning the properties like "display name", contentlength etc. But we are not able to reterive the custom properties by customizing the Collection Renderer's Diaplayed properties.
Any advice please?
Thanks

Hi Dhaya/Scotts,
Please upload an image of ur layout setting and also the collection renderer in the
[Wiki|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/IACnB] page that I have created for this thread...

TREX search results

Hi,
TREX search is working fine and is fetching results. I link to hide the links "Open Folder", "details", & "see also" & "HTML version" etc. How do I do it?
I tried playing with the Search options but it did not help me.
Please let me know how I can hide these links. Thanks in advance.
Janvi

Hi Janvi,
Go to
Content Management->User Interface->Settings->Collection Renderer Settings
Select StandardSearchResultRenderer and select advanced options. Go to Displayed Properties
The Default value is - rnd:icon(space-right=10/alignTop/alignLeft),rnd:displayname(contentLink/[1;2-3]/alignTop/space-right=30) + rnd:action(/alignTop), rnd:thumbnail(/noIcons/alignTop/height=30), rnd:rankvalue([2;1]/alignLeft/alignTop/noColumnSpacing/space-right=10),rnd:documentabstract([2;2-9]/alignTop/primaryTextStyle),col:rating([3;1]/noColumnSpacing/alignTop/alignLeft/space-right=10),modifiedby([3;2]/alignTop/alignLeft/secondaryTextStyle/space-right=10) + contentlength(secondaryTextStyle/alignTop/space-right=10) + modified(secondaryTextStyle/alignTop/space-right=10) + rnd:highlighted_contentlink(space-right=10/alignTop/secondaryTextStyle),rnd:categories([4;2-9]/alignTop/space-right=10)
Remove the rnd:action and rnd:highlighted_contentlink
Change it to
rnd:icon(space-right=10/alignTop/alignLeft),rnd:displayname(contentLink/[1;2-3]/alignTop/space-right=30), rnd:thumbnail(/noIcons/alignTop/height=30), rnd:rankvalue([2;1]/alignLeft/alignTop/noColumnSpacing/space-right=10),rnd:documentabstract([2;2-9]/alignTop/primaryTextStyle),col:rating([3;1]/noColumnSpacing/alignTop/alignLeft/space-right=10),modifiedby([3;2]/alignTop/alignLeft/secondaryTextStyle/space-right=10) + contentlength(secondaryTextStyle/alignTop/space-right=10) + modified(secondaryTextStyle/alignTop/space-right=10),rnd:categories([4;2-9]/alignTop/space-right=10)

Trex Search Result List

Hello,
i would change the Search Results from Trex.
Goal: I have some Files that have the name "_de". When i found one of this file i would display in the Search Result List the name of the Folder where this file was found.
So i want to add a function like this:
String nameForDisplaying = displayname;
if (displayname.equals("_de)) then
nameForDisplaying = getNameOfRootFolder(displayname);
I am not sure what is the best place to store this function. Is to write an own Ressource Renderer a good way?
Best regards,
Patrick

Hey Patrick,
did you find any answer to this question? I have a similar problem, i would like to change the displayed name for some results.
Many thanks in advance

Excluding certain terms form TREX Search results

Hi everybody,
I am using a NW04 Portal with KMC installed, and a TREX 6.1 as search engine.
Is it possible to exclude a certain list of specified terms from the search result?
E.g. I search for "blocked Term" and, although some documents may contain this term, i get nothing displayed as search result.
Thanks and best regards,
Jochen

Hi Jochen,
It is not possible to exclude certain terms from search, neither through KM API nor on TREX side (unless you want to try with python scripting).
You would actually need to avoid indexing documents with certain terms - this is not possible either. Could you please describe shortly your scenario (why index documents that should not be found?), there is probably another way to exclude certain documents from being indexed or found (another criteria for filtering).
best regards,
Bettina

Exposing TREX Search Results to Google?

Hi,
We have a CRM 4.0 E-Commerce solution and want to take the TREX search engine results (indexes?) and make them available to Google/Altavista/msn/etc index externally.
The idea being a search on the web would hit an entry in our online shop and direct the user to the product when clicked on.
I see that there is a Google Connector but this looks to me to be including Google in TREX rather than the other way around.
Is this possible and if so how ?
Regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
I think, you will mostly have to discuss this with Google. Just like TREX has ways to assume other engines results as TREX' own, Google may have these ways. But integration will mostly have to come "top down" from Google in that case.

Anonymous user can't access WPC pages in TREX search result list

An anonymous user can use TREX service to enter query string in search iView and to get the list of results.
But when he tries to open a page (web_paragraph or web_article ) generated by WPC (by clicking on the page link in result list) a logon screen appears in a popup window.
The URL of the window is /irj/servlet/prt/prtroot/... rather than irj/go/km/u2026 .
How to work around this?
At the same time he can see Word, Excel documents and XML Forms (News).
We use light framework.

Hi
You need to change PCD Permission for the objects the anonymous used.
And change the parametrer Authentication Scheme to Anonymous.
Good Luck

Object Link to CRM business object in Trex search result list

Hello Everyone,
has anybody sucessfully configured the functionality "Object Link Properties" which is described in the Document <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000647974&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700005796662005E">Configuring the Business Package for SAP CRM 5.0 SP01 (EN)</a> on Page 169? I'm not the Knowledge Management specialist and would get some help on this topic. Has anybody detailed steps how to configure this?
It shounds interresting as the result would be that when the User does a full text search for Attached Documents he will also get a link to the original CRM business object like Activity, Account or Opportunity.
Regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for your reply.
using windows explorer mechanism i can see the folders that i created in the CRM config.
Now in Portals KM i did the following steps:
a) Created an HTTP Data Source : with URL = the URL that the service crm_prt_km_dav generates.
http://abrusux156h.pch.chem.corp.local:8086/sap/crm/crm_prt_km_dav
b)Created a memory cache
c)Created a WebDAV respository manager with the following details:
Description :WebDAV
Prefix : /PRD (PRD is the BO Hierarchy name that i have set in the CRM config)
System ID : T86 (Sames as what was set in HTTP Data Source)
Repository Service : svc_acl
ACL Manager cache : ca_cm
Security manager : ACLSecurityManager
Memory Cache :webDAV(same as what i had set in step b)
I restarted the portal server. and then tried doing the test by going to
Content Admin ->KM Content ->root
But i dont see the /PRD folder out there.
Any clues on that???
Thanks,
Anand

Content Snippets not displayed in TREX Search results

Hi Community,
next Problem with my Repository Manager. I used the tutorial from Thilo Brandt as start.
I can index documents from a third party content management system, but when i search for a word form the content it won't be found. When i search for a word from the title or the filename, the document appears in the result list. But, there is no content snippet.
I had this problem a few days ago. It was the contentlegth-attribute, which was 0. I fixed this an everything works fine. But now i have the same problem and the contentlegth attribute is correct.
Any ideas?
Greetz Marcus

Solved my Problem. The Security Manager had an error. It denied the access to the content for the portaluser, which is used for indexing the content.

TREX search results in 0 hits

Hi Guru's
I have an issue that needs resolving.
We have setup a basic Service Desk in SolMan 7.01.
We were able to report on our issues using the "queries" functionality in the Incident Management workcenter.
Ever since we installed a TREX instance all our queries return empty.
I've gone throufgh all the steps in the install guide of TREX 7.1 to check what I did wrong, but I can't find anything.
Also, when I search for solutions in our SDB, I get no hits, even when I search for all blanks or asteriks (*).
Please advise!
Regards,
David

Hi,
Do you have access for execute queries and reports?
if yes, please trouble shoot the trex config using the below

How to change search result list entries?

Hi together,
I'd like to fit the TREX search result list to my own requirements. I've edit the Search Result Renderer Settings, Search Result Layout Set, Search Component Set and the Search Option Set. But that's not enough.
1.) I would like to display the relevant index name, in which the document was found.
2.) For special indexes (not for all!) I want to change the content link:
For example: if TREX is finding an xml-File in index "abc_index" I would like to change the content link from
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76.xml" to
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76.htm"
and from
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76_data.xml" to
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76.htm"
3.) I'd like to display a special part of the document as a explanatory text in the result list.
I think point 1 and 3 are possible with properties and HTML-extractors. But point 2 I'm afraid I have to create my own component.
But how to manage this? I cannot find any code snippets or tutorials or pattern to copy and develop further.
Is it possible or advised to write a WebDynpro? Are there other possibilities? I don't know how to start.
I would be pretty delighted to get any idea...
Thanks a lot
Steffi

Hi Stefanie
1) If you want to be able to show the name instead, you should write your own property renderer. Heres the link for the documentation: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c739e546-0701-0010-53a9-a370e39a5a20 -> How to Implement Flexible UI
Components -> Property Renderer
2) Documentation will be send in a matter of minutes.
3) I also think the web property extractors only work with the web repository manager, because as far as I know that is the only repository manager, where you can select a web property extractor upon creation. I guess you could open an OSS to SAP and ask if its not possible to extract properties in your scenario just to be sure if its not possible. But my guess is that you either have to develop your own repository manager or publish your files on a web server in order to meet your requirements.
Best regards,
Martin

Display Search Results of Content Search WebPart in a Calendar Style

Hi,
I have currently the requirement to gather events from calendars (event list) that are spread among dozens of site collections. Calendar rollup or overlay only works within a sitecollection (right?).
I thought that I might be able to use the Content Search WebPart for this task. Is it possible to create displaytemplates that transform the search results into a calendar like view?
Thanks
Sven

Hi Sven,
As I tested, I can overlay SharePoint calendars across site collections in the same web application. However, by design it doesn't work across web applications.
I'd like to confirm if you are overlaying calendars across site collections or web applications. If your situation is the former, did you recieve any error message?
