TREX in cFolders

Question

Hi,
TREX is already installed and working fine in EP. But in cFolders, we are not sure how to search by content using the TREX.
What exact configuration need to be done in between SAP R/3 TREX to cFolders, so that we can search using TREX.
Regards,
Ani

Hi Ani,
once you have installed TREX and set up the RFC destination you need to go to transaction skpr06 and maintain the readiness for indexing for the cFolders document area CFF. It is not necessary to also classify the CFF area (it is sufficient to select the first checkbox).                                                                               
Next, call transaction skpr07 to specify the Document Class which is CFF_VERS for cFolders, specify the language and the DocArea, which is CFF. You also need to index your documents so that they are found in the full text search (might be time-consuming) and afterwards, schedule a periodic job to index new or changed files again.
Please make also sure that TREX is generally activated within cFolders, for this please proceed as follows:
1. Use a WebDAV client (such as Portal Drive or Microsoft Web Folders) and log on to the WebDAV Settings folder of the cFolders system. The user should have administrative authorization.         
2. Open the XML document called NETWORK.XML in the folder 'System Settings' for editing.
3. Search for XML tag 'TREX_Metadatensuche'. Modify its value to "true".
4. Save and exit.           
5. Re-login to cFolders.  
In case all configurations are correct, the message "The file contents are also also searched" is displayed in cFolders when you create a search request.
