TREX: No index available

Hello,
i have a problem with the TREX (6.1) and the EP 6(SR 1).
The TREX Monitor show that the HTTP, Name, Index and Queue Server are green.
I can create an index (Index Administrator) but after saving the index isn't in the Index Administrator visible.
And he doesn't work, too.
With the TREX Monitor I can see the queue of the index (empty).
Can anybody help me?
regards,
Jochen

Hi Jochen,
did you go through the TREX post installation tasks?
Is the service user assigned that TREX needs for indexing?
Cheers, Karsten

TREX not indexing Excel files

Hi all,
We are getting the following error when trying to index some MS Excel files:
14011 - Filter: The file is password protected or encrypted
We are using TREX 7.10 rev 34.
We have found that the cause of this is when the Excel file has been set to protect the worksheet with a password (in Excel, go to Tools -> Protection -> Protect Workbook -> set password). It seems odd to me that TREX cannot index a file like this because it should be able to open it. I would think that it only would have problems if it were trying to write to the file (which it is not trying to do).
Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's like this or what can we do about this other than remove the workbook password? We have dozens of files like this, and I need to find a solution other than removing the password.
Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
I couldn't find any release note specific to this issue however I do know that there are newer filter versions available in the most recent TREX revisions so the upgrade is usually a good option to resolve such issues. Of course I cannot say for certain if Revision 39 will resolve it without trying to index your specific document on that version myself.
Anyway I know there are some Oracle filter issues ongoing with TREX 7.1 so I think an upgrade to a newer revision may be inevitable at some stage, but perhaps in this scenario it would be best to wait for confirmation of the exact revision that contains the fix from the TREX experts in your message.
Kind regards,
Lorcan.

Function based indexes available in Standard Edition ?

Is the function based index available in the standard or only the enterprise edition ?
Thanks

They're available in EE only. Same with bitmap indexes too.

System Status: SAP XI 7.0 SP 13 (TREX is not available on DXG)

Hi,
What does this information mean -System Status: SAP XI 7.0 SP 13 (TREX is not available on DXG)
What is SP? What are patches?
Ramya

Hi,
When a new service pack is first released, the patch level goes back to zero. Subsequent patches that apply to that service pack are then numbered from one onwards.
It would however be technically possible to install a service pack and the patch level still stay the same. For example if you were on V2005 SP0 Patch 0, and installed the Service Pack 1 upgrade, the patch level would remain at 0.
The version info on the file should also contain a property for the servicepack as well as the special build. You can check them both for completeness.

TREX Active Index - Which index is really being used?

We are using ISA E-Commerce 5.0 for ERP 6.0. We run the ISA_CATALOG_REPLICATION program as an hourly job to create indexes in TREX. We add items to our catalog several times a day. Our variant is set to keep 5 indexes.
1. Where do I verify which index is REALLY active? They are all green in TREX Admin and they all have an Active flag in SRMO. (I am pretty certain the older indexes are not being used by ISA because the new items show up in B2B after the ISA_CATALOG_REPLICATION completes)
2. When the ISA_CATALOG_REPLICATION cancels due to an SRET error, I want to go back to the last valid index in TREX and force the system to use that index. How do I do that?
Thank you
Jon Sells

SAP told that this functionality is not available in TREX. So there really is no point in having more than 1 index at a time.

Using TREX to index R3(WAS) tables

Hi,
I am developing a bsp application on WAS 6.40 and I will like to know if there is a way to use TREX in order to index table contents. Of course, I need also a way to use TREX for searching. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I order to have a quicker response, I think you should post this question in KM forum.
Meanwhile, have a look at things like

TREX Monitor / Index Monitor are hanging

Hi Experts ,
We are running on EP 2004s SP 12 and TREX 7.0 rev 34.
Our issue is TREX Monitor (System Admin -> Monitoring -> KM -> TREX Monitor) is hanging and not able to display anything.
Same thing is happening with Index Monitor also .
We have checked both TREX and EP are running fine , I can see other iViews in monitor view eg. - Crawler Monitor .
Can anybody help ..
Thaks & Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
I have had this issue before as well but unfortunately wasn't able to find out what exactly the problem is. I believe it is some type of communication problem between TREX and your portal. Try restarting both TREX and the portal and see if it helps.

TREX not indexing document 10 KB

hi...
TREX search is working fine for documents < 10 KB but if i try indexing documents > 10 KB it gives prperation failed error.Please let me know what as to be done so that it indexes document > 10 KB
Please help me on this as it is very urgent
Thanks in Advance,
Shanshank

I installed an EP7/TREX SP10 two years ago. All worked fine until I decided to apply windows SP2 and some security patch. My machine is a win2003 x64.
Now EP7 works fine, but TREX in not able to reindex documents > 10kb.
Trex preprocessor trace says:
Preprocessor.cpp(03550) : HANDLE: DISPATCH - Processing Document with key '/documents/Segreterie/Documenti PCTP/Doc. in Arrivo/Anno 2009/2009_03123.pdf' failed, returning PREPROCESSOR_ACTIVITY_ERROR (Code 6401)
In the portal security log file I found the corresponding error:
System/Security/Authentication#sap.com/irj#com.sap.engine.services.security.authentication.logincontext#Guest#2####764602d0407311dea83600188b77747b#SAPEngine_Application_Threadimpl:3_17##0#0#Info#1#com.sap.engine.services.security.authentication.logincontext#Plain###LOGIN.FAILED
User: N/A
Authentication Stack: ticket
It seems to me that the portal is not able to pass user name to Trex (User: N/A) and then It is not authorized to retrive the documents.
I tried to change the user of indexmanager service "index_service"; to set the alternative host in url generator service. Nothing changed.
Any suggestion?

I have installed TREX 6.1 server which is working fine. But when i configure it to a EP 7 for indexing its repositories it is not responding. Can i use a TREX6.1 server for pointing to a EP7 system in the first hand? If yes, why is it not indexing the documents in it? please clarify.

KM TREX not indexing

Hi
I have a problem regarding the TREX.
I have this folder indexed.
I create resources in this folder by a custom WDP application.
Basically i will upload a .pdf or .doc file from desktop to this folder.
Now the problem is some of the documents are not getting indexed.
There are very few documents though, but i cant find a reason why it is not getting indexed.
Now, when i check the properties of the documents which gets failed, i dont see any problem.
If i simple press "Save" button, the document starts gettign indexed and thus it gets indexed.
Here, i am not changing any property, but simply pressing the save button.
Till date, i couldnt reproduce the error.
But since this error was reported from Prod, we want to know why this error comes and how it can be avoided.
Please give ur thoughts...
Regards
BP

Hi Piyush,
My case is like some docuemtns didnt get indexed.
Well some others working perfectly fine.
Even now if i upload some docuemtns, it is getting indexed.
And as i stated earlier, i goto details view and press "Save", it starts indexing the doc.
So communication to the TREX server is working fine.
The main problem is i cannot replicate the issue.
Here is the code sample i use to upload the document to KM
public boolean uploadDocument(
          final String documentName,
          final byte[] documentContent,
          final String location,
          final String fileExtension,

Trex Server Indexing

Hi all DMS Guys
I am Carrying out implementation of DMS , Content Server, and Trex server for the first time.
I have completed DMS , and Content Server configuration.
I want Information on Trex server configuration or some documentation on TREX server configutation and installation.
If any body can pls help me urgently it would be great help.
Thanks
With Warm Regards

Hi Mangesh,
If you are looking for a Search Option to be activated in DMS then its very simple,
Go To T.code SKPR07 (KPRO IMS: Monitoring), select Tools tab,
and in Document Class Field Select : Select "DMS:Physical Object for main Originals"
2. In Main menu under Edit select Administration, you get an POP-Up menu of Administration, fill "Document Class" (DMS_PCD1), Document area (DMS), Management table (DMS1DIDSTA)
Check (tick) "Create Indexing Readiness"
Click on the "Indexable Attributes" you get the sub-screen select all or required one.
You can schedule the indexing job by two ways i.e. by ABAP program RSTIRIDX with a T.Code SM36. click on job wizard & Proceed.
After doing all above steps you can see in CV04N SearchTxt Field

Hi Harshal,
i just found your Question here, while I was searching the SCN for a solution. Because I had the same Issue.
In the SAP Support Portal I found the SAP Note 1512896 - KPro: Index category could not be created.
Take a Look at it. I guess, that could solve your problem (if it´s still exists)

TREX not indexing some files

Hi,
When I create an index, this gets to index some documents, but others no.
It gets to index files txt and html, but it doesn't get to index files pdf, doc,xls, etc. It gives the following error: 14021 message not found / Preparation failed.
I already verified the file TREXValidMimeTypes.ini and it seems everything well.
I need help......
Trex 7.0.41

Hi,
I have also faced same issue and got resolved after setting host name in the URL Generator Service
Logon to portal as administrator
Navigate to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge management -> Content Management -> Global Service -> Show Advanced option -> URL Generator Service
Then check the Host name.
It should be according to your portal
For example if your portal URL is http://GHIKD.sde.rfd:53200/irj/portal then you need to give host name like http://GHIKD:53200.
