TREX Setting

Hello Gurus,
A question when trex indexes the contents does it take into account the permissions(ACL) on the documents as well.
or does it put forward the content based on the ACL at runtime.
If it does at runtime we are thinking that it might put extensive load on the servers from which they are indexing.
Just to put the question more simplicitly when a keyword is searched when are the ACL/Authorisations resolved at runtime or are tehy preprocessed by the indexing client while indexing.
Your help on this would be highly appreciated
Regards
Ajey

Many thanks for the reply subrato!!
Does it mean that if i search for a word 'Portal '
lets say i have acess to a folder which has a document with the keyword portal within the repository ... does the trex while indexing the content within the folder does not take into account my permissions...
and now when i search for Portal.. TREX gets it from indexes that it has maintained and resolves the permissions at runtime by talking to the rep manager.....
If that is the case ..Portal server would be hitting the repository again and again and will this not put any extra load on the server /repositories being indexed..
Thanks again and awaiting a reply

TREX - how to setup delta indexing?

Hi,
I have got TREX installed and I could search in Succession Planning.
However, when I changed some data (for e.g. assigning a new user id to a PERNR), that new ID couldn't perform a search on employee.
I have scheduled the program ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS, and this program could be completed without error.
But still, I couldn't perform a search until I manually run program ESH_ADM_INDEX_ALL_SC.
FYI, I'm following Luke's guide to setup the TREX:
Setting up NetWeaver Embedded Search (TREX) for SAP HCM Talent Management EhP4, 5 and 6
Regards

The program ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS is little bit different than regular background job.
It looks like a hang, but this program will keep calling SUBMIT of itself. It takes care of its own scheduling based on parameters you provide.
It will finish only after 'Exit processing after [hours]' you gave in selection screen.
Infact its not struck at 'Indexing object type: HRTMC_REL_S_JF_450'
It says that is the last index it worked on.
If it finds change pointers to any other object, it will index them and add a message at the end of job log saying 'Indexing object type: xxxxxx'. Make a change in org and monitor this job to validate this.
You see the job 'on hold', 'SLEEP' because it will wait for a while before it start checking for change pointers again. This duration is based on 'Delay[seconds]' parameter you specified in selection screen.
I thing your problem is that change pointers are not being generated properly which is the task of program RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH.
Thanks,
Nag

EREC: TREX Index status

When i go to SES_ADMIN, if the objects dont have anything to index since the time system is online, will the status always be Initial?

Hello Dhana,
for the latest eRec releases in combination with TREX 7.10 the index category is no longer used. So this is not an issue.
If you think that some configuration steps are missing you should repeat the eRec TREX setting again. I assume you are using an up to date eRec release (enhancement package and support package stack) so check SAP note 1301016 in the service marketplace. There you find 3 scenarios, pick the one which is matching your system and repeat all steps.
Within the note you also find the names of the eRec indexes.
Kind Regards
Roman
PS: one small hint for configuring the indexes in SES_ADMIN. The note still says that you first add the object and then the relation indexes for objects ERC_CAND/NA and that an error message appears. This has changed since some support package. Object and relation indexes are created together.

The problem is we cannot create Functional Area via Job Architecture
if we log on Job Architecture module with JAPANESE.
(We can create Functional Area if we log on with ENGLISH)
[Procedure]
1. Launch Job Architecture module with Japanese
2. Job Architecture => Create Functional Area (under Tasks)
3. Key in [Title] and [Abbreviation], and then click [Add]
4. Error message "Not able to load DLL or CLASS" appears
I have already confirmed that if I do same thing with English,
Functional Area was created in ECC environment.
What settings am I missing?

Some questions on Collaboration rooms

HI,
In some of the room templates I found an extension BANNER. But how do I configure a Banner for my room I couldnt find.
I want to add a quick poll to my room template which I developed. How do I go about this.
The Search Room functionality: DOes this require TREX set up and if so what do I need to index for it to work.
Now in a collaboration room if i have a documents page which is a navigation page, the end user gets access to Move, Copy, Delete etc etc on the resources. How do I remove such links?
If I need to create any other such iView like a BI iView in my room template, how do I go about this?
Points assured for a Detailed Answer.

thanks vijayakumar kanniah mohan
The room part works once I already have 2-3 created rooms.
Suppose I wish to add a quickpoll to the tenmplate will it reflect fo all the rooms which have been priorly created using this template.
In such a scenario, what can I do?
e.g. My template is MYTEMPLATE out of which I create ROOM 1 and ROOM 2. I can go and add room parts to those 2 rooms. But what if I want to just edit the room template and say add the quick poll to an existing page there. How do I get it reflected in ROOM 1,2.
Also I didnt quite get the answer to the Banner question.
I have the folowing Extensions in the room tempalte:
Banner

Best Practise for CRM

Hi,
I have installed BP for CRM and doing config for SAP CRM Standalone Integration.
I have selected all scenarios in the scope including interactive reporting.
Our main focus is interactive reporting which needs another client in same CRM system.
I have two clients - 300 for CRM and 200 for Reporting.
The Quick guide tells as follows
Be aware that you need to define a System Data Container even if you implement
a CRM Standalone solution (containing an entry for target system CRM and, if
necessary, a CRM Reporting client REP).
"In the generic personalization" step I have option to define only one System Data Container - Z_ALL_H001_J01_<xxx>
Which System Data Container I should give- corresponding to CRM client or reporting client?
Thanks & Regards

on point 1 :
java can be on same stack as abap. actually on any project I worked, java was on same server as abap.
It realy does not matter where the java is installed. (the connection to abap goes trough "jco" which can point to abap stack of your choice)
I'm not sure it should be an SAP JAVA server, there are some special settings like "trex" in java server administration(visual admin tool), it is used to find your isa catalog in trex system.
there's supose to be an xcm setting to avoid this trexsetting but it has never worked for me
I dont think you can just install isa on other java servers because of this.
Then again.. i'm not a system admin. they might give more info on this subject to force an trex setting in a non sap java server.
hope this helpes a bit.

Knowledge Search - Results doesnt appear

Hi Friends,
I have configured Knowledge base in my system and assigned Knowledge base profile to my business role.
But when i go to knowledge base search i see blank dropdown for language.
Also when i add search term i get the warning message 'Check TREX set up'.
Trex is running fine in SM59 and compilation configuration is also done from my end.
Can you guide me where could the problem be? Any suggestions..
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
I suggest following:
1. Access the activity using the following navigation options:
Transaction code
SPRO
SAP CRM IMG menu
Customer Relationship Management ® Enterprise Intelligence ® Software Agent Framework ® Name and Configure Knowledge Base
2. Choose Continue.
3. In step Name and Language enter the knowledge base named KA, highlight the respective supported language ( e.g. EN = English) and choose Continue.
4. On step Basic Settings enter the Description for the selected language and choose Continue to skip all other steps.
5.Choose Complete to exit the wizard.
6.Choose Save if necessary.
Hopefully this will solve your issue.
Alternatively,You can access the diagnosis tool using the following navigation options:
Transaction code
CRMC_SAF_TOOL
Select search engine STANDARD, mark all checks (Process and Content Based) and choose Start Diagnosis (F2).
If errors occur when calling the Knowledge Search using transaction CRMM_SEARCH (although connection check in IMG is okay), the problem might be a missing RFC destination for Search and Indexing Service.
2. Check the results of the diagnosis check and follow the descriptions if necessary.
If errors occur like:
Remove/Modify [ Entry = 1 , Table name = CRMC_SAF_SE ]
New entries required [ Entry = 1 , Table name = CRMC_SAF_SE ]
you can ignore the error and continue.
If you receive errors regarding any of the Processes with red traffic lights at sub-entry Check Default Customizing, double-click on this sub-entry and then choose button Guide on the right-hand side.
Choose button Next to restore the settings and confirm the warning which occurs. This step does NOT reset the preceding configuration steps, so don’t worry about the warning.
Diagnosis will let you know if all the configuration is proper for the Knowledge base and KA.
Let me know how you go.
Thanks & Regards

E- Recruitment 600 - External candidate creation

Hi All,
I created internal candidate and iam able to view the start pages of the internal candidate.
But when followed the similar steps to create external candidate iam facing lot of issues starting from User creation. can anyone share their inputs wrt ext candidate user creation and its related portal page.
thanks in advance.
kind regards
saipriyan

Hello Sai,
of course you are right that the standard functions to create an external candidte differ from creating an internal one. In the production scenarios there are basically 3 ways to create an external candidate:
- The candidate uses the registration where he registers to the candidate pool without actually applying to a position
- The candidate uses the unregistered search and applies for a position. In the process of applying the candidate is created
- The recruiter uses the minimum data entry functionality accessable through a link on his startpage to enter a hardcopy application into the system
These 3 scenarios are available for creating the external candidate but each of them requires a certain amount of configuration (e.g. unregistered search requires a properly set up TREX search engine) which usually takes some time.
On the very beginning of a project when the servers are installed and the basic configurations have been done, I usually test all standard start pages to see if the basic settings are ok. In this case all I want is the ability to log in and call the startpages. Then I use the described approach to just give an internal candidate which is usually my test user the authorization for the external startpage and I set the username as Alias so I can call the page. Of course next steps are creating the first requsition / posting / publication and test the application wizard (as said this requires the TREX set up or some help report to generate a direct application link). But overall for me I find it very handy to ba able to log on to all internal and external applications with my test user so I do not need to remember several logins as long I do not start testing full scenarios with applied authorization.

Best Web Implementation

I've been asked to develop a web application which will generate a form from data stored in an Oracle 8i database. The process should be fairly simple. I'm anticipating the process will go something like:
The user connects and chooses a topic
A form is generated and sent to the user
The user fills out the form and submits it
A backend process reviews the answer, stores the results, sends a message back to the user
I'm planning on using Oracle 8I and OAS 4.0.8.1. Can someone suggest an implementation path? I'm free to use just about any other technology I wish. Can someone suggest the best (and hopefully easiest) implementation? I've considered PHP, several Oracle options, Java, and Perl. If you think one method would have particular advantages over the other, please give them.
Thanks from a DBA, not (yet) a developer!
Jim
BTW: I do know a little about cgi and web servers. But, I'm not a web engineer.

Setting TREX settings on Visual Administrator for nameserver

Hi
I filled in the TREX name server setting witht port abd clicked on saved
When I click on the TREX Monitor I still see
The name server is not running or no name server is configured in TREX Service Properties
Do i restart the J2ee engine to take effect
Also is my setting in the nameserver.address correct
tcpip://hostname.africa.bmw.corp:30101
I got the port number from sapprofile.ini file
Regards
Naziem Mahomed

hi Naziem,
There can be possibly only two mistakes possible. The entry of the hostname and the entry of port details from sapprofile file may be wrong. You can leave out the domain and just enter the hostname and check if it is connecting. Do restart after the change in entries are made. Also refresh the portal screen to check if it is connecting.
Also check this documentation

TREX - Configuring Distributed Slave with Decentralized Data Storage

I am creating a distributed TREX environment with decentralized data storage with 3 hosts. The environment is running TREX 7.10 Rev 14 on Windows 2003 x64. These are the hosts:
Server 01p: 1st Master NameServer, Master Index Server, Master Queue Server
Server 02p: 2nd Master NameServer, Slave Index Server
Server 03p: Slave NameServer, Slave Index Server (GOAL; Not there yet)
The first and second hosts are properly set up, with the first host creating the index and replicating the snapshot to the slave index server for searching. The third host is added to the landscape. When I attempt to change the role of the third host to be a slave for the Master IS and run a check on the landscape, I receive the following errors:
check...
wsaphptd03p: file error on 'wsaphptd03p:e:\usr\sap\HPT\TRX00\_test_file_wsaphptd02p_: The system cannot find the file specified'
wsaphptd02p: file error on 'wsaphptd02p:e:\usr\sap\HPT\TRX00\_test_file_wsaphptd03p_: The system cannot find the file specified'
slaves: select 'Use Central Storage' for shared slaves on central storage or change base path to non shared location
The installs were all performed in the same with, with storage on the "E:" drive using a local install on the stand-alone installation as described in the TREX71InstallMultipleHosts and TREX71INstallSingleHosts guides provided.
Does anybody know what I should try to do to resolve this issue to add the third host to my TREX distributed landscape? There really weren't any documents that gave more information besides the install documents.
Thanks for any help.

A ticket was opened with SAP customer support. The response to that ticket is below:
Many thanks for the connection. We found out, that the error message is wrong. It can be ignored, if you press 'Shift' and button 'Deploy' (TREXAdmin tool -> Landscape Configuration). We will fix this error in the next Revision (Revision 25) for TREX 7.1.
