TREX - how to setup delta indexing?

Hi,
I have got TREX installed and I could search in Succession Planning.
However, when I changed some data (for e.g. assigning a new user id to a PERNR), that new ID couldn't perform a search on employee.
I have scheduled the program ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS, and this program could be completed without error.
But still, I couldn't perform a search until I manually run program ESH_ADM_INDEX_ALL_SC.
FYI, I'm following Luke's guide to setup the TREX:
Setting up NetWeaver Embedded Search (TREX) for SAP HCM Talent Management EhP4, 5 and 6
Regards

The program ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS is little bit different than regular background job.
It looks like a hang, but this program will keep calling SUBMIT of itself. It takes care of its own scheduling based on parameters you provide.
It will finish only after 'Exit processing after [hours]' you gave in selection screen.
Infact its not struck at 'Indexing object type: HRTMC_REL_S_JF_450'
It says that is the last index it worked on.
If it finds change pointers to any other object, it will index them and add a message at the end of job log saying 'Indexing object type: xxxxxx'. Make a change in org and monitor this job to validate this.
You see the job 'on hold', 'SLEEP' because it will wait for a while before it start checking for change pointers again. This duration is based on 'Delay[seconds]' parameter you specified in selection screen.
I thing your problem is that change pointers are not being generated properly which is the task of program RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH.
Thanks,
Nag

How to use the delta index in TREX?

We have been using TREX with EP KM for 2 years.
However we never used the delta index functionality.
Could you share your experience on how to use delta indexes?
Thanks!

Talent Management - TM - Trex 7.1 - Delta Indexing

luke.....are you out there??
congrats on your blog being featured right on the SDN homepage... very nice...
http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/blog/2010/09/20/setting-up-netweaver-embedded-search-trex-for-sap-ehp4-talent-management
and congrats to Chris on his first two excellent blogs....
http://scn.sap.com/people/chris.mcnarney/blog/2010/08/26/whats-included-with-the-predefined-performance-management-process
http://scn.sap.com/people/chris.mcnarney/blog/2010/09/09/whats-included-with-the-predefined-performance-management-process--part-2
all 3 blogs are very helpful since there is little information available out there on these topics...
so we've been testing the delta indexing program very heavily - ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS
we have found that it does not appear to be able to index new hires (new central_person index does not pick up the new CP). The only way this data can be indexed is by running a full re-index. That is problematic for us, b/c we were hoping to only do full re-indexing 1 a week or even 1 a month. our indexes take 2-3 hrs to complete and trex searching is pretty much inoperable during that time.
Have you tested new hires with delta indexing? it seems as a gap in the change_pointers program. We opened up OSS message to SAP.
some additional thoughts working with the program, relative to your blog. I would highly recommend that anyone testing this makes sure the following notes are implemented in your system. The first one is the most recent and we ourselves did not have that implemented.
1. 0.350 BC-EIM-ESH 1441190 Error in model assignments to logical system 24.02.2010
2. 0.230 BC-EIM-ESH 1408655 Alerts in syntax check due to unused indexes 18.11.2009
3. 0.260 PA-TM 1395703 Positions and termination are missing for indexing 30.10.2009
4. 0.330 BC-EIM-ESH 1249482 Functional corrections for Enterprise Search 7.01 SP03 26.01.2009
Another area which we found from testing: SAP by default does not delta index structural authority view. What this means is that if a new talent specialist is added with 741 relationship there access to see that structure will not be available in TREX search by default delta indexing. This would also impact existing organizations and positions shifted under existing 741 relationships.
The information in spro is actually quite helpful, you can find it in: talent management and talent development > basic settings > search > BAdI: Activate Delta Indexing for Authorization Data
Activtate the BADI, than the program to "create the change pointers" must run periodically in your system. This is done with RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH. Once that program creates the change pointers the next time your scheduled delta program runs (ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS) all of the structural auths will be created and indexed correctly.
If we can just now get new hires to work with ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS we will probably only run the full re-index once a week or once a month.
Let me know your thoughts,
Michael

so if anyone is interested, from my previous post I mentioned that new hires were not getting picked up by the change pointers program.
after further testing though, we found that when the authorization recon program identifies the new hires and appropriately creates a change pointer.
conclusion: to avoid full re-indexing of trex indexes, perform the following steps:
1. implement / activate the BADI - HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW - talent management -> basic settings -> search
2. Schedule program RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH - every 30 mins, or 1 or 2 hr. This program will capture whenever anything changes from an authorization data perspective. This would include identifiying new central persons (new hires) or new TMC specialist being setup with 741 relationship. This program "creates change pointers" which than feeds the main delta program - ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS.
3. Use Luke's blog on the instructions for the delta program - ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS - this program you can have run every 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, based on your needs. this processes all delta changes, the first time the program runs after the RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH program finishes it will also processes the data authorization changes, otherwise every other time the program is running it will catch non-data authorization for all the other indexes (employee name change, new performance rating, new potential, position name change, new profiiciency scale, new career profile data, etc).
hope this helps somebody!

How to create a index in TREX

Hi Experts.
I am just a beginner in portals......
Please float ur step by step approach on
How to create a index in TREX?
If anybody has document for this topic pls send it to [email protected]
Thanks in Advance,
Jasmine

Hi Jasmine,
1. Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Index Administration
2. Choose "Create".
3. Read the SAP Help Documentation to see a description of the fields the you have to entry: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
4. After the new index is assign a data source to the index as described here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c093acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
5. After saving the index the crawling should start and shortly you should be able to search for documents.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to track BIA delta index merge and rebuild

Hi Gurus,
 I have set up process chains which load the BIA delta index and full index rebuild in separate process chains.
Is there any way to check if BIA is behaving as desired? I know to check RSDDSTATTREX table.
Regards,
Anil

Not a reply from Guru..
But I put my thoughts in and here are few take aways for you ,which you may wish to have a look in to..
PS - BI Accelerator is quite a Virgin territory ..few documentations or persons worked with ..
You can execute some performance checks with tcode - RSRV to validate the same.
BI Accelerator Performance Checks
1)Size of Delta Index
If you have chosen delta mode for an index of a table, new data is not written to the main index but to the delta index. This can significantly improve performance during indexing. However, if the delta index is large, this can have a negative impact on performance when you execute queries. When the delta index reaches 10% of the main index, the system displays a warning.
The system performs a merge for the index in repair mode. The settings are retained.
2) Propose Delta Index for Indexes
It is useful to create a delta index for large indexes that are often updated with new data. New data is not written to the main index, but to the delta index. This can significantly improve the performance of indexing, since the system only performs the optimize step on the smaller set of data from the delta index. The data from the delta index is used at the runtime of the query.
The system determines proposals from the statistics data: Proposals are those indexes that received new data more than 10 times during the last 10 days. A prerequisite for these proposals is that the statistics for the InfoCube are switched on.
Data in the main index and delta index should be merged at regular intervals (see test Size of Delta Index).
In repair mode, the system sets the Has Delta Indexproperty for the proposed indexes. The delta index is created when the data is next loaded for this index.
3)Compare Size of Fact Tables with Fact Index
The system calculates the number of records in both fact tables (E and F tables) for the InfoCube and compares them with the number of records in the fact index of the BI accelerator index. If the number of records in the BI accelerator index is significantly greater than the number in the InfoCube (more than a 10% difference), you can improve query performance by rebuilding the BIA index.
The following circumstances can result in differences in the numbers of records:
○ The InfoCube was compressed after the BI accelerator index was built. Since the BI accelerator index is not compressed, it may contain more records than the InfoCube.
○ Requests were deleted from the InfoCube after the BI accelerator index was built. The requests are deleted from the BIA index in the package dimension only. The records in the fact index are therefore no longer referenced and no longer taken into account when the query is executed; however, they are not deleted.

Embedded Search delta indexing

Hello all,
i am trying to create delta indexing for EA-HRXXX component in SAP ECC 6 EH4 on TREX search 7.10 (standalone) but its not taking into account my changes.
I created some test data on ECC6 EH4 system related to talent group (new talent group) and job family (for talents) , now my HRTMC_Search_OBJECTS not retruning data related to those objects. i tried to run program 'ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERSESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS' as said in documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/fb4c38469e59e8e10000000a421937/frameset.htm) but its not showing results.
any reply will be highly appreciateed.

Hi Mani,
yes, there are moderators in SDN.
But in the end the forums are community froums - they are not a support system with guaranteed answering times or anything of the like. So, if you have questions about mission critical errors, please do use SAP support.
If you are looking for answers to "how to..:" questions, SDN forums are a great channel, but - again - without any answering guarantee.
By the way, I understood you correctly that you have found an answer to your query, right?
Even if that may have been "not possible"...

How to setup the default run page in WAR file

Can anyone please tell me how to setup the default run page in WAR file using JDeveloper? I want the login page to be the default page of the application. Thanks!

This is usually done in an .XML or other configuration file based on the particular web application container you are using.
For example, in Tomcat Java Container, its the following parameter in the /conf/web.xml file:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
You will need to look at the documentation for your server container.
thanks

How to create a Index for KM documents

Hi Experts.......
I have two queries .
1,How to create a Index for the KM Server documents so that when ever i am in need of particular document,i can be able to retrive the exact document within short time......
2,What Is TREX? Need of TREX ?
If any one have documents for the above said queries kindly send it to [email protected]
Thanks in Advance,
Jasmine

Hi Jasmine,
1.In the EP 6.0 you can create index System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Index Administration
2.TREX is search engine that will proccess the documents that you have specified in the index Data sources when you have created the index.
The status of TREX you can see in System Administration -> Monitoring -> Knowledge Management -> TREX Monitor or Index Monitor for indexing monitoring.
If you don't have connected any TREX engine to J2EE, just start the visual administrator and configure the TREX service.
To install the TREX you can follow the instguides for TREX service.sap.com/instguides SAP Netweaver->Release 04 or 2004s -> Installation -> Cross-NW
I hope that it helps.

How to do delta loading in BI?

Hai..
I sheduled the one job in the LBWE transaction. I deleted the contents of setup table and again filled the same and checked the data source in RSA3 and found data there. Then I replicated the data source in BI 7.0. After this thing How to perform delta loading in BI side.
As here we are using Infopackage for loading PSA alone.
1. Where we do delta initialisation and delta load?
2. how the data is getting loaded in R/3 while doing delta update?

Hi Methew,
After triggering V3 job from LBWE , go to Tcode RSA7 in r/3
You will find for your datasource some data packet are available in delta Queue.
Now you have to create a infopackage in BW for init
1)Go to left top of the infopackage click on Initialization of source system ( there should be no request) if you find any request delete it.
2)Click on update tab and select Initialization delta process.
3)Data selection would be in gray ( no selection)
4)Process can be any .
5)Select your data target.
6)Click on start button from schedule tab.
Once int is done create a new info package for delta .
1)Click on update tab and select delta updtes.
Hope this helps.

How to setup benefit confirmation form in ESS?

Hello experts,
Would you please share your note on how to setup the benefit enrollment and confirmation forms from ESS side.
We have the form and the relevant configuration in view V_T74HL. Not sure how to do from ESS side. Does the ESS
calls the same form or we have to create a new? Moreover, what happens when we make changes in the forms on SAP
side, do we have to duplicate the changes on ESS side as well.
Please advise.
Thank you.

How to setup Email Flyers

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know about how to setup and send an email flyer?
I know how to design and publish using Illustrator,
PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, Flash, and HTML, but I am confused on how
to setup a email flyer.
Here's my question:
After I have my design completed in a HTML file, what do I
do next to have it sent out as an email flyer?
(I tried copying the entire index.html codes from
Dreamweaver and pasted it into an email message to myself. Instead
of receiving the flyer design, I receive all of the codes that I
pasted.)
Does anyone know how to setup up an email flyer???
I'll appreciate any feedback,
Alan
