TREX indexing on content server performance

Hi guys,
Our Portal is integrated with SAP CRM (using webdav) that manages documents stored in SAP content server. We use TREX to index these documents such that users in Portal can search for these documents. Currently we're evaluating the performance of indexing and searching, thus if we have a heavy load of documents to index, would it affect the SAP CRM/Content server that is the document repository? (such as memory consumption, performance, etc..)
Thanks,
ZM

Hi Chris,
do you use the ContentServer in the DMS application? If yes, you need to index documents stored in the DMS_PCD1 docu category.

TREX indexing from content server(maxdb)

Hello.
I've installed standalone TREX on Linux, configured the connection to R3 system and to Portal as well. On the R3 I have configured connection to the SAP Content serve(via archive link) where we save some documents(pdf, doc. files). The part which I don't understand is how can I configure the repository of the content server as a source for the Trex index?
Any hint would be useful. Thanks in advance.
Vit

Hi,
the question is what exactly do you wanna do?
Integrating a archivelink in the Portal or indexing the documents via ERP?
In the first case you must create a web repository and define an index.
In the other case it depends on the SAP Solution but mostly you have to customize the SM59, SRMO, SKPR06.

TREX search in Content Server

Hey
I have a problem making TREX search for documents in my content server. I have made some Content Repositories where i want to perform my search.
What I have done so far, is to make a CM Repository for the Content Repository with Persistence Mode = DB and the Repository ID in Database = The repository i want to use in Content Server.
Then I have added this CM Repository to a index and restarted the servlet engine. When i search for the documents, I get no hits. I know there is nothing wrong with my TREX, cause i can search on File System Repositories.
Have i missed anything? The Content Repository is up and running, and i get successsfully on every test.
Please hit me back!

Hi,
Creating an Index
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
Before doing that you should check TREX Server Status:
System Administration->System Configuration->KM->Index Administration->Related links->TREX Monitor
If the status is ok, then create the index, assign data source (point your repository), define kind of service (search, search and classification, classification) and define scheduler.
Then in Index Monitoring you can check status of the index.
Also, in TREX Monitor you can display Queves and check status of the documents.

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!!!!

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 - Generic Object Services (GOS) - CV04N -Content Server

Hello,
I'v installed a content server / maxdb, and i forwarded the attached files (Gos) to this content repository.
I'v installed TREX and I can see the fields in the CV04N.
Just one question :
Can I search some documents via TREX (CV04N), or what is the best practice for storing the attachments and search it with TREX ?
Thanks
Stéphane.

Once the Content Server is installed,set the Content Server for indexing preparation:
-Start the function Monitoring for Knowledge Provider (transaction code SKPR07).
-Enter the document class DMS_PCD1.
-Select Edit > Administration.
A dialog box appears where the following data is preset(if no,then please select the same):
1.Document Area
DMS
2.Administration table
DMS1DIDSTA
3.Class can be indexed
X
-Set the indicator: Setup indexing.
-Select in Customizing of Document Management the MIME types that you want to be read for the full text search; under General Data > Settings for storage systems > Create MIME types for full text search.
-Schedule the full text search for cyclical background preparation.
Execute transaction Start job (transaction code SM36).
Schedule the job for the following ABAP program: RSTIRIDX (Report for indexing stored documents).
Test retrieval document search using:
Transaction: SKPR07
Enter Document Class "DMS_PCD1", Language "EN", Document Class "DMS",and try "TEST search".

TREX not working for e-recruiting with HTTP content server

We have a separate e-recruiting instance where we have only e-recruiting functionality installed. In this system we are using Storate type as "http content server instead of standard setting "SAP system database" for HR_KW content repository via transaction code "OAC0"
Following are the details
Document Area: HR_KW
Storage type : HTTP Content Server
Version no. 0046 Content Server version 4.6
HTTP server vd24cs02.sce.com
Port Number 8080 SSL Port Number
HTTP Script archive
Phys. path /usr/sap/N09/SYS/global/
Points to be noted:
1) TREX Search functionality for Job postings etc is not
working with this setting, however if we use HR_KW_CONT (storage type=03 SAP System database) , above mentioned functionalities work. We observed that xml files required for TREX search are also not getting created when we change the settings.
2) We observed that when we change the storage type the indexing job is successful but application log shows some failures in reading/modifying xml files
Please let me know what are the settings/ procedure to use a different storage type instead of standard setting delivered with the product. Anything related to the setting for above requirement

Is TRex required to display content from Content Server in the Portal?

Hi all gurus!
A short question: do you have to have TRex (or any other search/index engine) when you want to display content from a SAP Content Server in the portal? Or does the content server has its own search/index engine?
Best regards
Benny Lange

Hi,
Sap content server can be added in the portal as an KM repository. So configuration is needed. But when finished you can open and look at the content server like they are normal KM folders. TREX on the other hand is advisable in order to have the means to quickly find something in your content server. Otherwise it is like any other stupid file structure. lots of files and lots of folders.
Depending on you portal version you need to install a bussiness pack for document managment to get the content server visable in KM

Where are TREX index stored? TREX server File system? or KM repository?

hi, friends:
can someone tell me where are TREX index stored ?
in TREX server file system?
or in portal KM repository? file system or DB?
thank you
Carol

Carol,
TREX is a separate product. During installation and configuration of TREX you connect it to the portal. The search iViews of the portal will use the configured TREX server to do the actual search:

Performance tuning content server

Hi,
I would like to profile my UCM based application. I am using Oracle content server 10g version and has custom java components for my business functionality. I would like to profile this application to identify performance bottlenecks. Is there any profiling tool in market that would get plugged /integrated with oracle content server (UCM 10g)?
What are the general tips for performance tuning custom components?
Thanks in advance

TREX ABAP Client: How to index file content?

Hello Colleagues,
We have installed TREX search engine and writing own solution by using ABAP Client. Everything is ok except files content like XLS, DOC and so on. When we try to post binary content to the FM TREX_EXT_INDEX it is not processed by TREX and only attributes search is available. I think something wrong with data types.
Test example:
data lt_data type table of char100.
data l_size type i.
data lt_doc type trext_index_docs.
data ls_doc type trexs_index_doc.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    exporting
      filename   = 'D:test.xls'
      filetype   = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength = l_size
    tables
      data_tab   = lt_data.
ls_doc-doc_key = '00001'.
ls_doc-doc_langu = 'EN'.
ls_doc-doc_type = 'B'.
ls_doc-mime_type = 'application/excel'.
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    exporting
      input_length = l_size
    importing
      text_buffer = ls_doc-content
    tables
      binary_tab   = lt_data.
append ls_doc to lt_doc.
call function 'TREX_EXT_INDEX'
    exporting
      i_index_id            = me->index_id
      i_rfc_destination     = me->rfc_dest
      i_index_document_list = lt_doc.
Document is indexed without content. Why?

Hi Evgeni,
I realise this is a little late, but just in case you are still interested - or anyone else out there is:
Basically somewhere internally the FM 'TREX_EXT_INDEX' does the following with your ls_doc-content:
l_xstring = p_content_in. "(p_content_in == ls_doc-content)
If you look at the conversion rules in ABAP the xstring then expects the string to contain only the characters '0-9A-F'. Which your string does not have after calling the FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Thus you have to format your ls_doc-content differently. Basically you need to move the hex characters in your xstring into 'real characters'. Which will expand the string massively.
We solved the problem using the following Form:
form conv_content using value(raw_content) type string
               changing content            type string.
data: lv_char   type c,
        lv_string type string.
field-symbols: type x.
clear content. " init output.
while raw_content is not initial.
    lv_char = raw_content(1).
    assign lv_char to casting.
    lv_string = .
    concatenate content lv_string into content in character mode respecting blanks.
    shift raw_content left.
endwhile.
endform.
Not exactly efficient, but you can call it just as you would call the FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (except you don't need the filesize). Then the TREX will index your MS-Office documents as long as they are not of type Office 2007 or newer. In that case there is another bug, where the mime_type you pass in the interface is only 50 Chars long - which is too short to fit the full docx mime type for example.
Regards,
Robin

Is it advisable for Content Server & Trex to be on the same server?

Hi All,
Is it advisable for the SAP Content Server & Trex to be installed on the same server?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Kr,
Neil

Dear Neil,
If you are actually implementeing this architecture at clients place, then it should be implemented even if client insist.
I was also in same situation. But I strongly apposed this requirement.
If you want to used this Architechture for trail purpose or demo where you dont have option of having the luxury of hardware.
Then you can try such thing.
With Warm Regards

Portal Search Not Working - Only Returns Portal Content, Not TREX Indexes

I have configured two indexes using the portal. One is for documents that reside on the portal, and the other one is for a website that we have configured in TREX using Cruiser. The TREX Admin console shows that the website information has been indexed. However, when I search on a word in Portal, only the portal contents are displayed. Is there a different search field for looking up TREX/indexed files? I'm using the search field that's on the front page of the portal. Also, both indexes belong to the same index group. I did use the serach feature built-in to TREX Admin to verify that there were documents stored in the index.
