Using Trex in SRM

Hello Experts,
Environment SRM 7.0 PPS ECC 6.0 eph4
Wanted to see if any one used TREX to optimize vendor search and display the vendors quickly when creating a shopping cart in SRM.
The issue we are facing occurs when clicking on the preffered supplier list to display the list of vendors which are pulled from SRM and displayed in the portal.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Scott

Hi Scot
sorry to bother via this thread.
what is your total number of vendors in the existing system? .
create some fixed vendors by negotiating like contract , inforecord and reduce the burden of buyers.
if you put some prefered vendor, it goes to buyer cockpit and he again search a vendor , negotiate the vendor and update the price if you activate sourcing or will create incomplete PO / Complete PR upon sceanrio selections....
TREX helps only if you want to enable full text search for long texts and attachments in the business objects( contract, vendor,po).
can some one correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

Using Trex for Vendor Search in SRM

Experts,
Please let me know if you used TREX to optimize the vendor search in SRM 7.0, ECC 6.0 EP4.
Please let me know any tips or suggestions regarding the implementation.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Scott

Hi Scot
the below is for goa . try for BP too.. Why you require TREX search . std search dont enough. since
TREX helps only if you want to enable full text search for long texts and attachments in contracts.You need to instal the trex server and configure the settings:-
1.create RFC destination of type TCP/IP server using TCODE SM59
2.MAINTAIN ENTRY IN back end systems settings
3. Activate full text search y executing the program BBP_TREX_INDEX_ADMIN .
bUSINESS oBJECT : - bus2000113
subtype usiness object :- cc for GOA or blank for operational contracts
Action for SRM TREX index :- select the appropriate value from search help . for example , you would specify A for the initial index generation.
bundle size for indexing : enter "10." bundle size affects performance. The size indicates the number of docuemnts that will be updated in one pass.if there are a large number of documents, then the size may be reduced to improve performance

Is it posible to use TREX 7.1 with E-Commerce 5.0?

Hi All,
E-commerce 5.0 installation guides specifies using TREX 7.0. But We are facing issues, installing TREX 7.0 on Windows 64 bit platform as TREX 7.0 does not support Windows 64 bit platform.
Please can someone advice if we can use TREX 7.1 with E-Commerce 5.0
Scenerio is E-Commerce ERP edition. with backend R/3 4.6c.
Regards,
Dipender Singh

Hello Martin,
The E-commerce 5.0 guide for ERP, says that the minimum version supported is 4.6C with the specific patch level version. We had issues initially with the TREX 7.0 installation on 64 bit windows ( lot of modifications have to be done manually here).
But now TREX 7.0 is working fine and i can see the replication happeing from R/3 4.6C. We are configuring the webshops and doing all the XCM settings currently so, would be able to tell in a days time, if it works for us or not.(with 4.6C).
Thanks,

Hi Phani,
You can test your TREX server by executing the following step:
Log on to your TREX server and open up the TREX console which you can find in the TREX program folder. Normally you are now inside the python_support folder.
Execute the following script by typing: "python runInstallationText.py" and hit Enter.
The script carries out the following tests:
● Deleting any test indexes that were generated for a previous script run
● Creating a test index
● Indexing documents
● Testing search functions
● Exact, error-tolerant (fuzzy), and linguistic searches
● Search using Boolean operators such as AND and OR
The results are displayed at the end of the script run. You see the tested calls and their statuses (OK or Failed).
When you run the script for the first time, the call Delete Index has the status Failed. This is because there was no existing text index to be deleted. If this is the only cell with the status Failed, the test was successful.
Below you will see the final output generated by the test script. As stated near the bottom of this screenshot our TREX is running very well or not if there is a problem.
Best regards,
Tom.

Document search by file name using TREX

Hello,
We have implemented searching of documents using TREX. At the moment TREX finds all documents where search term is included BOTH in the file name (title) AND the content of the document. We need to limit the search results only to the documents where the search term is a part of the file name/title and NOT the content.
I know that searching for the term in the title and content is a standard functionality. Is there any way to limit searching for documents only to the title? Are there any parameters that I could place in the KM Document iView in the property 'query' that will limit searching to the file name?
We use SAP NW 7.0 SP18.
Best regards,
Beata

Hi Bobu,
I have followed the suggested solution with the predifined properties - "cm_displayname(/default)" - in a new Search option set and a new Search Component set containing only two aliases: search_predefined_props and standard_search, but it seems that searching is using the standard_search alias anyway. If I remove it from the search component, I do not have a full-search field for entering the value.

How can I use TREX?

Hi experts!
We want to use TREX as our search engine.
The following link already show some results for our system:
[http://trexsourcesearch.wdf.sap.corp:31305/webkit/TREX/abapsearch/search.psp|http://trexsourcesearch.wdf.sap.corp:31305/webkit/TREX/abapsearch/search.psp] and also the RFC-connection check in SM59 for TREX_SOURCE_SE is ok. So it seems that TREX is already running and configured on our system.
Our aim is to write a simple (test)report where you can enter e.g. a string. TREX searchs (maybe) our whole component for this string. TREX returns the search results and our report shows all the results.
So my question is:
How can I do this? Which function modules/methods... should I call to solve this problem?
I've found the following link but I think it describes only how TREX works and how it is to administer.

I've founde a solution:
Useful is the transaction "TREXADMIN". Here you can see if your index has been created and if you have feed it correctly. You can also search for the attributes which you have added to the index.
But this transaction requires a special permission. Therefore you can use the search-methods in CL_COM_SE_TREX instead. The mentioned class provides a lot of functions for TREX
The following example shows how to create and feed the TREX index with one document. The search attributes itself are contained in lt_doc_attr. In this internal table you will have the fieldname (later displayed in TREXADMIN) and the value (you can search for this).
Comment: After you've feed the index you might have to wait some time until the fields in TREXADMIN appear or the search routines find something.
Create the TREX index:
* Get trex instance
lr_trex = cl_com_se_trex=>if_com_se_trex~get_instance( ).
CHECK lr_trex IS BOUND.
* Prepare Index Attributes
l_trex_id = 'your_trex_id'.                         "unique
l_rfc_destination = 'your_rfc_destination.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ISOLA_OUTPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input = sy-langu
    IMPORTING
      output = l_langu.
* Create index
CALL METHOD lr_trex->create_index
    EXPORTING
      iv_index_id        = l_trex_id
      iv_rfc_destination = l_rfc_destination
      iv_language        = l_langu
    IMPORTING
      ev_return_code     = l_rc
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_error   = 1
      error              = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.
Feed the TREX index:
The table lt_doc_attr has been filled in a subroutine.
DATA ls_doc_list            TYPE trexs_index_doc.
DATA lt_doc_list            TYPE trext_index_docs.
DATA lt_doc_attr            TYPE trext_indexdoc_attrs.
*   Feed Index
    l_doc_key = ls_doc_key-doknr.      "unique
    ls_doc_list-doc_key     = l_doc_key.
    ls_doc_list-doc_langu   = l_langu.
    ls_doc_list-class_rel   = 1.
    ls_doc_list-doc_type    = 'A'.    "text ASCII
    ls_doc_list-doc_action = 'I'.    "index, alternative: D(index)
* some values for ls_doc_list-doc_type
*     A text (ASCII); standard is A
*     F file
*     U url
*     B binary
*   Copy search attributes into the structure
    ls_doc_list-doc_attr = lt_doc_attr.
    APPEND ls_doc_list TO lt_doc_list.
*   Now feed the index with the new document
    CALL METHOD lr_trex->feed_index
      EXPORTING
        iv_index_id            = l_trex_id
        iv_rfc_destination     = l_rfc_destination
*        iv_use_queueserver     = 'X'
        it_index_document_list = lt_doc_list
*        iv_flush_after_index   = 'X'
      IMPORTING
        ev_return_code         = l_rc
      EXCEPTIONS
        conversion_error       = 1
        error                  = 2
        OTHERS                 = 3.
Delete the TREX index:
* Delete the Index
CHECK del_idx = abap_true.
CALL METHOD lr_trex->delete_index
    EXPORTING
      iv_index_id        = l_trex_id
      iv_rfc_destination = l_rfc_destination
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_error   = 1
      error              = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.
How to search in the TREX index
You can use the trex instance instead of the function module to search the index.
* Search for a special fieldvalue
    ls_query_entry-location = 'FIELDNAME'.   "a fieldname which you have added with lt_doc_attr
    ls_query_entry-value1 = l_txt.           "maybe a text from the selection screen
    ls_query_entry-rowtype = 'ATTRIBUTE'.
    ls_query_entry-operator = 'EQ'.
    APPEND ls_query_entry TO lt_query_entry.
* Search for a string
* Add the operator only if you've added a fieldname
    ls_query_entry-value1 = 'AND'.
    ls_query_entry-rowtype = 'OPERATOR'.
    ls_query_entry-operator = 'EQ'.
    APPEND ls_query_entry TO lt_query_entry.
    ls_query_entry-value1 = l_string.
    ls_query_entry-rowtype = 'TERM'.
    ls_query_entry-operator = 'EQ'.
    APPEND ls_query_entry TO lt_query_entry.
* All attributes are requested
ls_requ_attributes-attr_name = '*'.
APPEND ls_requ_attributes TO lt_requ_attributes.
* 1: DidYouMean, 2: Snippets 4: TitleSnippets or a bit combinaton
l_request_flag = 2.
* Search the index
CALL FUNCTION 'TREX_EXT_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS'
    EXPORTING
      i_indexes                           = lt_index        "table with your index id
      i_rfc_destination                   = l_rfc_destination
      i_result_from                       = l_res_from    "how many results should be found?
      i_result_to                         = l_res_to
      i_max_snippet_words                 = 30
      i_request_flags                     = l_request_flag
      i_query_entries                     = lt_query_entry
      i_req_attributes                    = lt_requ_attributes

Doc/metadata search not using TREX - max files to search?

Hi,
We are creating WebDynPros searching a CM repository for documents with certain values on metadata properties. I know this is kind of "brute force" instead of using TREX classification.
Is there some way of saying how many documents in a folder structure can be searched in 2 seconds? Say we are using dual 2.8GHz CPU and 8 GB RAM in the server. Using KMC6.0.9.0.0.
I am also interested in knowing more about TREX APIs. I see they have not provided an official API - is there an unofficial with some guides?
All feedback is appreciated.

Hi Bjorn,

Mainly, this will depend on your DB. I would suggest just to measure some information retrieval, that's done quite fast and will return far more exact values than any estimation.
> knowing more about TREX APIs. I see they have not

There is no offical nor any unofficial - as far as I know - API doc for direct TREX access. But what is documented is the indirect access via KM API, see for example https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/using the km indexmanagement apis for searching with trex.article
Hope it helps

Hi Suman,
I am Manu's Colleague. We have the Hierarchy of Objects like this.
Cubes --> Multiprovider -- > Aggregation level.
We had two tranport requests one for the Planning objects Including Aggregation levels and the other for data model objects including cubes , DSO's and multiproviders. All deletion Requests.
We moved the First transport request to production and we checked using Normal Find objectsand found no results for the aggregation Levels.We assumed all the objects were deleted.
Then we moved the Datamodel transport request to Quasltiy and it failed stating that the Multiproviders are used in Aggregation Level. (this happened in Q)
Then when we checked the aggreation Level in Planning Modeller we found it in there (this in both Q and P) and not in RSA1 transaction until we used TREX to retreive the result. (This in P as we dont have TREX in D and Q systems)
This is the issues and beacuse of this we are not able to delete the Data models in the system.
Thanks for all your previous replies and will be helpful if you have any idea ont his.

Benefits of Using TREX for PLM Search

Hi All,
Can somebody guide me on the benefits if we use TREX 7.1 with Embedded Search for PLM?
Following are our requirements, whether this will be met with TREX
1) Will the TREX help to search Cross u2013Objects with same names, for ex, if we search CCA, will it show all materials, BOM,s; Documents and Change Masters starting with CCA?
2) .Can we u201CSaveu201D the Search attributes or variants so that the same type of Search can be used again?
3).Can we give Boolean search or fuzzy search with AND and OR options?
4) .Can we search the fields mentioned in Long Text using TREX?
Regards,
Aby

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your inputs..
While searching for all Objects, can we give the input of Description?
for example, if I want to find all objects which have a term "XYZ" in the description, can I find it?
Can I search on the Long text details if TREX is there?
If you have any detailed links or documents related to PLM Search with TREX , its benefits and features , please forward..
Also we are using PLM 7.0 Are all these features mentioned for TREX 7.1 is available over PLM 7.0?
Regards,
Aby

Using TREX for Material master for longtext (basic data) and classification

Hi together,
I am only having some basic know how about TREX.
We want to use TREX for quick search in Material master long texts (like basic data and so on) and also for searching in characteristic values of material master (tab: classification).
The TREX is successfull installed and It was possible for me to create an index for Material BUS1006001 in SES_ADMIN and search the material in this transaction by TREX. I also find the index in TREX_ADMIN "green".
But there I could only use the attributes of the standard business objects (for example describtion of material master = short text).
Now I want to use the long texts and the classification. What do I have to do in SES_ADMIN or somewhere else? Actually I only want to use the functionality in SAP GUI. If I know how to make the indixes I could program an own F4-Help for this in ABAP.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Florian

Hi Florian,
SES_ADMIN is the admin cockpit of the Search Engine Service (SES).
SES-based solutions usually include searching the long text. Just test!
SES-based solutions usually do not include searching via classification.
The successor framework of SES is "Embedded Search".
Embedded Search is available with NW 7.01, corresponding to ERP 6.04. For details see SAP note 1254901
Classification is supported by Embedded Search with NW 7.02, corresponding to ERP 6.05.
ERP 6.05 is in unrestricted availability since summer 2011.
If the customer can not upgrade to ERP 6.05, there is a preliminary SES-based solution for searching via classification.
The solution can only be provided via SAP PLM consulting.
Kind regards, Klaus Irle
