  • Trex search function in WebDynpro application

    We fail to run trex search function in a webdynpro application,
    in debugging, when it reach the method:
    search.seach(), we caught NullPointerException(instance "search" is not null!), we draw out the trex search code from the wd app, found it could works well, no exceptions occur.
    so do you know any additional configuration must be done before the search function could be used in a wd app?
    e.g. specify name server address in j2ee engine adm gui?
    I want to try this too, but I could not start the "Trex Service" in adm gui,

    don't know what happened to this service

    Problem, he had a trexjavaclient.properties below his WebAS path. From WebAS630 TREX config has to be done inside Visual Administrator and not with any old (in this case wrong) trexjavaclient.properties.
    After removing this file. TREX service started normally.

  • 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

  • Search-Function without TREX server ?

    Hello to all,
    I want to use the Search-Function but we don't have a TREX server. Can I nevertheless use it? Which iView can I take? And which settings do I need?
    Are there guidances for it?
    Thank you and regards.
    Galyna

    Galyna,
    No unfortunately you cannot - TREX is required for search functionality and as such there is nothing else built into Portal/CM that will do the same thing.
    I would guess it is not worth your effort trying to do your own thing !!!!

  • Does Search Functionality work in SAP without having TREX

    Hi,
    Can we have Search functionality in SAP Netweaver without having TREX installed in the landscape because we are facing some problem  installing TREX in Customers' landscape. They are having Windows Server 2008 R2 based on IA64 bit archtecture as OS. Although SAP is proving Trex in Service Marketplace for IAA32 bit machine, but they are not providing any Software packages for IA64 bit. Is there any other alternatives we have to get the search service in SAP.
    Our ECC is in EHP5 environment.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Soumen

    Hi Soumen,
    If you are using e-Rec or Talent Management then you need TREX for searches. STVN SuccessionPlanning uses Talent Management searches, so indirectly it also needs TREX.

  • E-Recruiting Search functionality for Candidate in Talent Pool

    For search functionality of candidates in the talent pool, does anyone have any idea how the ranking percentage is calculated??  There is no clear documentation out there about what factors are used and how they are weighted.  I am aware that additional ranking that can be defined in the configuration and also questionaire results can influence this ranking as well.
    However, in the absence of this additional ranking in talent management and questionaire results to job postings, are the selection criteria for the search the only items taken into account for calculation for this ranking percentage? 
    What is everyone else's experiences in the fact that search functionality tends to treat the various selection criteria as 'OR' conditions?  The client I am working for is unhappy that candidates who don't match every set of selection criteria are being displayed on the hitlist.  Would like to hear what other client's responses has been to this...
    Sandra

    Had directed this question to SAP and did not get an adequate response to date with regards to how ranking is calculated.
    However, SAP did respond to why search functionality treating the various selection criteria as 'OR' conditions for searching candidates in Talent Pool.  This is due to configuration values in tables T77RCF_SRCH_ATTC and T77RCF_SRCH_ATTR.  The field RANKING must be set to blank value.  SAP delivers this as 'X' - ranking percentage is calculated.  This change now makes the combination of various selection criteria elements as 'AND' conditions, and the ranking percentage is no longer displayed.

  • File name to be considered while Trex Search in CV04N,

    Dear Sap Gurus,
    I know TREX can search and list the documents using any Word or Characters inside the original file, but i have a requirement to search the document by there File Names,i tried giving File names in CV04N Trex search window, but it is not giving any results for me,
    how can i make the trex search consider the file names also while searching in CV04N,
    In SAP DMS is there a standard search functionality to search the documents by there File name?
    Awaiting response
    Thanks and regards
    Kumar

    Thanks for your response,
    i know we can search the documents through Classification or description details using CV04N, but
    while searching any document the user wishes to fill up the details only at one field ie... the Trex search window in the CV04N screen, and he will not be interested in filling  the values at the classification TAB and the description Tabs,
    we need a single point of search through Trex search Window in CV04N, ie... when this Trex search field is filled appropriately,( like the classification value, Long text value,) 
    this values should search the documents with this Classification or Long text values in DIR and display the results,
    i could not succeed in getting the trex search working with this values, is there any thing missing from DMS config????
    FYI,
    we have Portal Document search through DMS through DMS Connector, and in this Trex Search we could find the DMS documents using the file Names as well, but strangely  the same thing is not possible through CV04N trex Search,
    Thanks and regards

  • Help needed: Search function for custom Repository Manager

    Hi there,
    i'm writing my own Repository Manager for EP 6.0 SP2 PL4.
    I've serious problems getting the search function running. I'm using the 'new', Netweaver-based API.
    I think, there are some general questions to answer:
    - My Repository Manager exposes lots of custom 
       properties to the system. I create the properties
       for example using following code:
       IProperty newProp = new StringSingleValueProperty(
         PropertyName.getPropertyName(
                  "{}" + myAttName),
         myAttVal,                         PropertyFlags.constructFlags(
                  true, false, true, false)
        Is there any convention for the propertie's name?
        I think it has to be written in lowercase only?
        Can I use ANY namespace I want instead of the
        empty default namespace? (For example:
    - After indexing my resources (of course, containing my
       custom properties), the TREX-Monitoring screen for my
       index shows all my custom properties in the 'Document
       Properties' area, but all uppercase chars are escaped
       somewhat. Is this OK?
    - Trying to use the index above to search for particular
       resources in my repository by my custom properties
       fails all the time ('no docs found...'); searching for
       any system property works fine. What's the reason?
    - How can I force the (Property-) search uses my
       custom namespace-manager's methods
       isQueryPropertyNameUnderstood() and
       getQueryBuilder()
       to perform a 'pure' property search by the repository
       manager? It seems that the TREX always handles the
       queries by itself, because my methods are never called.
    Thanx for you help,
    Daniel

    I created a new manager and copied the classes exactly from the "simple" example and I see similar behavior. Actually, when I do this, folders are recursively copied, but not files. Again, browsing and viewing of files work fine. Again, I am not seeing any unexpected exceptions.
    The only thing that changed were the names and namespaces. Nothing else at all was changed.
    This makes me think I am missing some configuration somewhere or there is something special about the example project that the wizards are not creating. The only difference I see in the project file is an additional nature (com.tssap.selena.cmf.PatternNature), but I am not sure that is relevant.
    Wow, I am really stumped.

  • TREX Search on attachments in CRM 7.0

    Hi ,
    Is the TREX search on the attachments to Service orders,Activities.etc  in CRM7.0 a standard functionality? Do we have to do any enhancements for enabling the TREX search on attachments to Service orders etc..in CRM 7.0

    Hi,
    I guess this is not only in CRM 7.0, this should be possible in very old CRM releases already.
    The extra step is in
    spro->CRM->Enterprise Intelligence->Software Agent Framework->Name and Configure Knowledge Base
    the flag: Compile URL Instead of Text
    should be turned on.

  • TREX Search issue

    I am using TREX search for equipemnt in R/3 itself. It is working fine in sand box environment but has some issue in quality server.
    It is not filtering data for one maintenance plant. For Ex. - When I give a keyworld and maintenance plant A as parameter it is working fine, giving me filtered results on maintenance plant. But when I give same keyworld and maintenance plant B as parameter it is giving me results from all plants including B also. In second case It should give result for only plant B.
    Can anybody give any idea where could be the problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sanjay.

    Hello Sanjay,
    can you give us the exact syntax you´re using to add the filter parameter? Could the name of plant B contain any keyword that triggers another function / causes some confusion in the search request?
    regards, Bastian

  • How to improve TREX Search experience?

    Most of our users are not happy with the search results. Since the default TREX search is based on relevance, it shows all the documents matching the keywords so it's difficult to find the particular document they are looking for.
    I have put few points together to see it would help to improve the search experience. I would greatly appreciate your suggestions and feedback.
    1)     The default TREX search performs a full-text search in the title, the description, and the content. Add additional metadata information of the document, and customize the search interface so that the end user can search documents by topic, keywords, region, author, etc.
    2)     Assign comma separated keywords in the document description while uploading. TREX finds it.
    3)     Create custom properties with pre-assigned keywords. You can pick the keywords for the documents using pick lists from the custom properties or use it in the advanced search.
    4)     For HTML files in the CM repository, develop a custom extractor for the META tags such as title, keywords, description, author, etc.,
    5)     For MS office documents, configure the TREX python extension to extract the Dublin Core metadata. So, in the advanced search, people can search using document title, description, subject, keywords, and so on.
    6)     Tweak the search interface to make it more presentable to the end user by setting tags for certain indexes such as KM, People Search, Invoice, Collaboration Rooms, and etc., So that the user can navigate between the tabs in search results.
    Thanks.

    TREX search can also search based on the date, author, modified date, modified by etc....
    You need to add the sort priority in your search option set.   You can customize the search functionality based on your need by modifying the search option set and search component set.

  • TREX search in Talent Management not working

    Hi,
    How does userid role authorization effect how TREX's search function?
    I have a scenario where the search function works for one userid but doesn't work for another userid. These userids are tested by being tied to the same employee via PA30 infotype 0105 subtype 0001 (testing being done one userid at a time of course).
    Is this an authorization issue or a TREX issue?
    Please help. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Eric

    Hi Experts,
    I've encounter the same problem - copied the ID (which works) into different name and granted exactly the same profile in both back-end and portal. Apart from that, we also granted SAP_ALL/NEW and Portal Super Admin but still not able to use the search functionality with message " No Relevant Records Were Found for This Search ". Looking foward for your reply.
    Million thanks in advance.

  • Restricting views of search results in E-recruiting

    Hello Experts,
    I have a requirement in my project to restrict the visibility of search results when users run search queries to look for applications. The system should be masking the applications of the user's reporting managers, directors or VPs when they apply for internal job postings or anyone above the hierarchy level in the Org structure. There is no structural authorization provided in TREX search by SAP. I understand that the talent pool is a global talent pool with all internal and external applications, but I need to cater to this requirement somehow.
    Any inputs would be of great help!!!
    Thanks
    Srini.

    Hi srini,
    i am not really getting the concept of your requirement.
    Candidates cannot see other candidates applications. Managers only see the applications forwarded to them so it is no issue to restrict anything as it would be HR task to controll forwarding candidates but still how often does it happen that a hiring managers superior is applying to a job below the manager as managers usually hire subordinates.
    So only recruiters are effected. On centralized recruiting organizations recruiters would not be allowed to see applications of hr manager hierarchy - ok might be an issue, while all other departments are no problem. From my experience this is usually handled outside the system exactly because of the problems implicated by that.
    In decentralized hr organizations we have a similar situation like in the managers case. the decentalized recruiter is working for an department so he only handles applications for this department. Employees in higher hierachy levels will probably not apply for the job the recruiter is responsible.
    Could you please give some more background information on what you exactly try to achieve, this will probably help to answer your question.
    Known points in the e-recruiting application I met in my projects were the listed applications in data overviews for the same candidate. Managers should not see that an internal applicant has applied for several other positions over the time so he treats all applicants equally and managers won't start chatting "hey bro, I saw mr. xy already applied in your department last month, you did not hire him, what's wrong with that guy? is he stealing copy paper?". but this can be easily handled by propper data overview design.
    Another difficult issue is the candidate overview were a recruiter can see all applications of a candidate. Here the reason is also equal opportunities for all internal candidates. Trouble here is the difficulty that hiding results in the loss of information which prevents internal overbidding (a candidate who has two offers on two applications in the same company using this to push salary offers). This one is tricky and has to be decided very carefully.
    But as you see both cases are dealing with applications of the same candidate not a candidate in general.
    So please check if you can give some more details on the requrements.
    Best regards
    Roman
