TREX Documentation

hey people!
Does any one sit here on some TREX material? I really need a configuration/administration guide.
I have search now for several days and all i can find is installguides and efficient indexing and search.
What im looking for is HOW to do it? Like making index'es in CRM, reindex, setting schedules, what to index and other usefull docs.
OR you have done this before, please help me out
I have installed TREX 7.0, ContentServer and CRM 4.0 and the communication works fine. I can search for docs on CRM, from TREX to CRM and from the Portal to CRM. But i'm experiencing some problems with different searchresults and index isnt updated when uploading new documents.
Best Regards

TREX documentation - Embedded Search

Hi everyone,
We are implemeting TREX on SAP CRM 7.
I am looking for some customizing documents on SAP sites but cannot really understand what the difference between TREX, Embedded Search and Enterprise Search. Are those different functionnalities? Are they dependant of TREX implementation?
Any tips about TREX/CRM will be appreciated,
Regards,
Anaïs

Hi Anais,
SAP Enterprise Search provides unified, comprehensive, and secure real-time access to enterprise data and information from within and outside of a company.
the Enterprise Search enables a centralized search access to all sources, i.e. users can enter their search requests and receive the search results through a single browser-based user interface (Search UI).
In TREX search, each source has a separate user interface.
To configure TREX in SAP CRM or Solman please find below link.
Full-Text Search with TREX - SAP IT Service Management on SAP Solution Manager - SCN Wiki
If any concern in configuring Software Agent Framework (SAF), please let me know.
You can also refer below document:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80d3c626-b9f0-2d10-b3a5-e2e7582f3449?overridelayout=true&quicklink=index

Trex 6.0 User Guide?

I am not sure what I am missing/doing wrong but I have configured TREX and KM in my SAP Portal 6.0 SP2 but not sure how to use it?!
I can monitor it from the portal and create indexes but I have no search input screen etc.
I have followed the Admin Guide for Portal and under KM is a brief TREX config setup but nothing else.
Is there an Admin/User Guide specific and only for TREX?
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Hi Chris,
you should also have a Search field in the portal's header. This, by default, searches over all previously created indices. If there is no Search field in the header, please check the header's configuration (Portal Content, not KM configuration).
Through the flexible UI of KM, you can change as well the search field's occurence as the look of the advanced search options and the search results page.
Advanced search should be an option, after you have initiated an initial search from the portal header search field.
Documentation:
End user => use KM documentation at http://help.sap.com
The visibility of search fields in the UI of Ep-KM is NOT controlled by the TREX engine => TREX documentation will not help. Check the KM documentation's part about the UI and the Portal's about configuring the header

Karsten

TREX 7.0 Documentation

Hello All,
We are looking to upgrade from TREX 6.1 to TREX 7.0.Could somebody advise me on how good or different TREX 7.0 is..?
Also if somebody can help me out with some documentation would be great.
cheers
Aj

Hi Aj,
documentation is in all the regular places:
http://service.sap.com/instguides
http://help.sap.com
TREX 7.0 mainly features administration and architecture as well as performance enhancements.
See:

How to configure one TREX host with multiple index servers ?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to configure TREX on the one host,
with multiple index servers ?
Reason for this is to make better use of resources available on the host server(4 Gig, 4 Processor, Windows2003), to improve the search performance of
our KM content for portal users.
I am using TREX 7 and have not been able to do this,
despite reading the Single and Distributed install
documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andres

Hi Andres,
To make use of the RAM a Server provides you have to run two indexserver processes (each can then consume 2 GB);
Proceed like this:
1. Go to TREXdeamon.ini; check if section [indexserver2] is there (it is already provided, but not active in standard installation)
2. In TREXdeamon.ini go to
[daemon]
references sections below
programs=nameserver,preprocessor1,indexserver1,queueserver,alertserver
and add indexserver2 here. Restart TREX; second porcess is then started; can be checked in TREX monitor in Portal as well
3. To distribute existing indexes to the new process, start TREXadmintool and go to Index: Landscape
Go to the last two columns and move the indexes (move master here/secondary mouse click)
If you don't distribute the indexes the new index server process will be regarded when an new index is created.
Hope this helps!
cheers

TREX/Content Server: Full text searches not working

I've setup TREX and Content Server in a sandbox environment and have been trying to get my head around DMS. I've completed what I've believed are the required steps (outlined below) and I have submitted 12 documents of various types into the respository. I'm able to perform meta data searches but not full text searched. Any ideas what I might have missed?
Much thanks!!!!
/Greg
0. Defined connection to TREX Server: TREX_42 (SM59); Using TREXADMIN all services are green.
1. "Define Document Area" - DMS is present; assumed I would use this one.
2. "Defined Indexing Readiness" - selected "Index Release" & "Classify" for DMS; set "Search Srv" to DMS_TEST
3. "Define Content Respository" - Created Z_CR_001 and maintained it as follows:
- Documentation Area: Document Management System
- Storage Type: HTTP content server
- HTTP Server: srv-sptxd2-dal.intervoice.int (content server)
- Port: 1090
- HTTP Script: ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
- Physical Path: /usr/sap/IRD/SYS/global/
4. "Define Content Categories" - Created ZCSSTRUCT; maintained as follows:
- Document Area: DMS
- Content Rep: Z_CR_001
5. Checked CSADMIN for Z_CR_001 - All Green
6. Went into SKPR07 (monitoring tab); entered DMS_PCD1 and "Indexing possible", "Auto indexing" and "DocArea activated" is all green.
7. Went into SMRO
- created SSR: "Search Server ID" = DMS_TEST, "Search engine" = DRFUZZY
- Verified "RFC Destinations"; passed tests; all green.
8. Went into SKPR07; using DMS_PCD1 as document class.
- executed "Clean up table entries"
- deselected "Limited to selected language"
- executed reindex. "Copied successfully from search engine"
- Selected the created index category
- Set the "Document area" indicator
- execute "Trigger process"; 12 documents referenced
9. Going into TREXADMIN I can see the created index; however the document count = 0. Also there is no queue created -- should there be?

TREX search Functionality in E recruitment

Hi All,
I need help to configure TREX search functionality in E recruitment .
Does anyone have any documentation or steps to configure it.
It would be great if you could pas me on the steps to configure TREX in E recruitment.
AS far as I know we have to do some settings in search profile and search template but what exactly has to go in these img steps I dont know .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards

Integration of TREX/Enterprise Search

Hi,
is it possible to integrate TREX/Enterprise Search into a web dypro application? That means the user can put a search string into an input field in a web dynpro application, the request goes to the TREX and the result will be shown in a web dynpro table.
Are there any documentations? How to handle this? I couldn't find anything to manage this.
Thanks.
Regards, Susanne

The ABAP Dictionary F4 Search Helps (transaction se11) are supported by Web Dynpro ABAP in the same way as with SAP GUI.
Note that the function module TREX_EXT_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS is an SAP internal interface.
It is not released for customer use, i.e. you cannot claim SAP support for your implementation.
Instead you should use a released search framework, that resides on TREX.
For details read SAP note 1254901 - SES for customer projects on TREX search
If you need a cookbook, how to include your specific search help into a standard F4 search help, you can refer to SAP note 1345777 (FAQ SES), chapter 8.
Cheers, Klaus

Integrating Trex search With Solution manager

HI Guys,
Please help me with this .
Let's say the solution manager is integrated in the SAP Portal and trex is available in the SAP portal.
Can we search documents stored in the solution manager via the trex which is integrated in the SAP Portal? Is there a how-to guide available on the config?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Dev.

Hi Dev
I'm facing a similar problem.
We have a trex server. We connected the TRex to our EP KM. Fulltext search in our Portal KM works well.
We have several project documentations on our Solution Manager. I was hoping I could connect the KM repository of the solution manager to our TREX and search the docs from EP. I was able to connect the Solution Manager repository to Trex. The index is working well.
The procedure is described in note 750623 but unfortunately the note is far away from a how to guide so I hope this helps:
Trex:
- Go to Admin Tool. Then landscape - connectivity and click on create "Connection". Enter system information of your solution manager system. Then click on Create - RFC Destination (sm59).
Solution Manager:
- Transaction srmo: Create a new Search Server Relation (DRFUZZY) and enter the RFC Destination you created in the above step and set it to default.
- Transaction spro: SAP Solution Manager - Cross-Scenario Settings - Document Management - Servers - Connect Index Server for Full Text Search. Click on "Define Index Readiness" and mark both entries for "IWBSolar" and save.
- Now go tou se38 and start the report RSTIRIDX_REINDEX. Here enter IWBSOlAR for document area and execute.
- Now go back to spro: Start the IMG activity "Schedule Asynchronous Indexing and De-indexing" and schedule the indexing job (Make sure you have executed the report RSTIRIDX_REINDEX before).
If you want to test the search go to transaction SKPR07, go to tools, select document area IWB Solar and click on "test search".
Unfortunately I don't know if there is any bether transaction for the search.
I was looking for a possibility to search from EP directly to the solman KM. But unfortunately I didnt' find a solution for this. The only way I know is to connect the solution manager over a transaction iview im EP.
Hope I could help.

TREX search for contracts

We have installed SRM5.0. TREX is running on a separate server. A RFC connection between the two servers has been established. Is any other config needed to be able to search in SRM via TREX?

Hi
You need to execute program SAP_BC_TREX_ADMIN to create contract index. Do read the documentation for this program.
Check also note : 766516

Configuring trex for sap dms

Hi,
We have installed SAP DMS (ECC6.0) to manage some of our documentation. Now we are trying to configure TREX to index and search for those documents, which are stored inside the SAP Content Server. Right now we have the entire technical configuration completed, but we cannot find any documentation that explain us how to go through the rest of the process... We don't know what transactions to call or tables to maintain in order to configure indexes and search functionality. Please note that we use transaction CV04N to search for documents.
Can anyone please provide me information on how to configure TREX?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Ricardo Inácio

I am facing the same problem: I need some documentation on how to use TREX search in CV04N.
There must be some docs, but I cannot find them.
Thanks in advance

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.
Message was edited by: Bjorn Bjornstad

Hi Bjorn,
> Is there some way of saying how many documents in a

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
