TREX search KM BI Repository

TREx 7.1
Portal 7.0
I have created and been using a KM BI Repository. This repository contains txt documents that are currently being accessed thru a KM Document IVIEW. I have recently implmented TREX 7.1 and I am having trouble finding anything in my repository using the search UI.
I have added indexes and taxonomies that point to the data source /bi_documents.
The search UI is available but finds nothing.
The TREX search can find Portal Documents.
I have also added to the Index Management Service the "Repository Manager" that is for my BI Repository.
Component Monitor is good and all green
TREX Monitor good.
My searchs still return nothing from my KM BI Repository.
I have researched and followed numerous documentation on repositories.
Any help or configuration document on KM BI Repositories would be appreciated.
Thank you,
sarah

Thanks for the input Frank,
I am using the standar crawler and it appears that the indexes are not being built due to a crawler error.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

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.

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 for iView

Hello, I was wondering how to do make the TRex search for the content in iViews and link to those iViews into the portal when the TRex send the results for search. Right now the TRex searches in the repositories specified in the datasource and the results link to the content of documents. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Pablo,
> I'm starting to think I will have to pass

Don't hesitate, I can pass you my bank account details...
> I've seen this forum ...
Oh, don't mix up the PCD repository which can be searched for iViews ==> that is iView names, maybe description etc, but this does not mean the content itself.
As far as I understand your original question, you would like to search "real content" ("what's printed within the iView") in that kind that clicking on a search result link would lead you to the corresponding navigation target.
For this, the scenario given in my orignal answer in this thread should be the way to go. Even if this works only in "internet" scenarios properly, for this scenario cannot distinguish between different roles / access rights.
> is SPS 14 the same that SP14?
Yes. "SP" = "Support Package", SPS = "Support Package Stack", the "new" common number for all components playing together.
Hope it helps

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
kumar

TREX search error

We are getting an intermittent problem when we do a search from our KM iview. When we put in a search string it for the most part comes back with the appropriate data, but every once in a while we get the following error either as an informational text at the top of the iview or as stack dump error.
Error during search occurred - com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException: Index does not exist;index=ourindex (Errorcode 2007)
Does anybody have any information on a fix for this?

Hi Aaron
Indexes are created in ECC or any other SAP for trex search and sometimes indexes may be have to be rebuild, have you checked this particular index shown in the error message 'ourindex'

TREX search failure for some pdf documents

Hi,
TREX search is not getting correct result for some pdf documents. It's not able read the content of some pdf documents. When we search with file name the search result is correct but we are getting "No document excerpt available" message in search result for this file name.
Let me know where might be the problem for those pdf docs.
Thanks

Hi Tatayya Marni,
1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
Hope this will resolve your issue.

Trex Search for Archive Link OAAD or OAWD Documents,

HI Sap Gurus,
Can Trex Search in the originals of documents which are stored by OAAD or OAWD Transactions,
if so how to activate the Trex Original document Search for Documents stored through OAAD or OAWD,
Thanks and regards
J Sari,

Dear Athol,
We are using SAP Content server to store our Documents from GOS and also the same Content server is used for maintaining our Documents through DMS also,
so as a standard, Trex cannot search documents maintained in content server by GOS methord and it can only search those documents which are maintained by DMS CV01N method,
pls suggest how to proceed for the development to allow Trex to search all the documents in Content server, how big is the development, is there any SAP suggested solution to be followed,
Thanks and Regards

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 Result Layout: Can you change it?

Hi,
Is it possible to have different flavors for the TREX Search Result Layout?
Ideally would be through the use of parameters in the typical TREX URL. I know that "Navigation.xml" file is hard-coded.....
Thanks.
Dick

Thanks.
But I want to use my new LayoutSet using the URL-based interface to TREX:

Sending query to third party portal from TREX Search Engine

HI Experts,
we need to implement normal search option in SAP portal.
when we search any thing from portal ,
It has to search in EP & KM and also it has to search
windows sharepoint portal and bring the data back to SAP Portal.
For this purpose one solution is
1) implementing enterpise search,
but my client dont want to go for enterprise search(federated search).
2) The other way
Sending query to third party portal from TREX Search Engine
In this way what i want is ,
how TREX can send query to third party portal SEARCH ENGINE
(in my case share point portal search ENGINE).
There is no problem to search in EP & KM becuse it is default.
To search in Micro soft Share point portal,
TREX should pass the query to share point portal search ENGINE.
Is there any API TO send a query to third party portal like sharepoint?
I searched in SDN and Other sites also but i am not getting exactly what I require.
If any one has ideas or implemented already please guide me.
My client require searching option like this,
we need to provide drop down box in SAP Portal with 3 options like
1) search in Share point portal
2) search in SAP EP & KM
3) Search in both the portals
please provide any code samples in case if you have.
please help me , its urgent
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
please check the information on the KM IMS (Index Management Service) in KMC's developer guide. A connection to a 3rd party search is done from KM, then calling TREX and XY in parallel, not serially from TREX.
Here's a paper describing this for an older KM release:

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.
