Who's using Ultra Search?

Hi all,
I'm thinking about utilizing Ultra Search in a near-future project.
Who's using it? How well does it work? What are you using it
for? How hard was the implementation?
Basically I'm looking for success/failure stories to help me
figure out if it's worth looking at yet.
Also, does anybody know if this is something Oracle designed
themselves, or if they're using somebody else's code as a base?
There are lots of folks out there offering similar stuff, so that
made me a bit curious about where this might have come from...
Thanks,
Sean

Ultra Search is not entirely a new product - it is an application
on top of Oracle's Text technology stack that has been shipping
for a long time.
Here are some examples how Ultra Search is used today: Embry
Riddle University is building a global aviation safety portal on
top of Ultra Search. Boeing is testing it to replace their
in-house search application.

Ultra Search and VPP?

Has anyone successfully used Ultra Search with Virtual Private Portal? When registering my portal data source only the four standard page groups are available (corporate pages, portlet repository, shared components and documentation). The root pages of all the new page groups in each of the portals are "displayed to public users". However, these page groups are not visible unless a user has authenticated for each virtual private portal. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[dave]

hi dave,
one basic question before diving to deep into this. did you check the 'Display Page To Public Users' checkbox in the access settings of the root page of your page group ?
this is the basic requirement to see page groups in the ultra search registration. ultra search only crawls public content in portal.
thanks,
christian

Ultra Search / File system

Hi again,
I'm developing a document management application and now i'm storing files on the local file system with an structure of folders and subfolders created by me. Now, I want to add functionality of searching documents by content and so, I thought in using Ultra Search. My doubt is what shall I do because I don't want to store files in the database because i would mean to redefine the lowest layer of my application and, obviously, I can't. So, my answer is: Is there a way of having a "pointer" to each file in order to return this identifier every time that I do a search of files containing a certain word? The pointer could be a foreign key to another table with information of how to locate the file.
I hope it would be clear! :)
Thanks a lot,
Jordi
Thank you very much!

Moving the Ultra Search search.jsp page

I am trying to move the search.jsp Ultra Search page into a new directory that has non-SSO security on it, does anyone know how to do this? I do not use Ultra Search on a Portal page and I don't want to use SSO for security because we already have all of the pages that are being searched in a secure area and I want the search page in that same secure area.

It might be better if you address this question on the UltraSearch forum at Ultra Search

Oracle Ultra Search wkdbmig.sql is missing when using DBUA

Hi,
As I am upgrading 10.1 to 10.2 using DBUA, DBUA says Oracle Ultra Search ultrasearch\admin\wkdbmig.sql is missing.
Well, where I can find the wkdbmig.sql. I suppose I can not use wkdbmig.sql of 10.1.
Your help will be appreciated,

HT203175 I have no problem signing on to iTunes my issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it. Thanks

I do not have a problem getting in the iTunes stores. My issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a pure virtual function call R6025. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create a new account? Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Thanks

Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate any input here.
If someone from Adobe could GUARANTEE that this problem would go away if I
purchased CS4, I would pony up the cash and do it. However, I'm skeptical
about that because I just saw someone else post a message on the forum today
who is running CS4 and getting the exact same runtime error as me.
I'll try un-installing and re-installing as Admin, and if that doesn't work,
maybe I can find a used copy of CS3.
In the meantime, I'm also wondering if a Photoshop file can carry any sort
of corrupt metadata inside it once it has errored out? Reason I ask is, I
had to port all of my old PSD files to the new computer, and I only seem to
be getting this error when I attempt to work on one of the files that
previously got the runtime error when they were sitting on my XP machine.
When I create new files from scratch on this new computer, they seem to be
working just fine (at least, for now).
If so, I would probably be smart to never open those troublesome
"errored-out" files again.

Ultra Search Portlet Configuration Problem

Guten Tag,
we are using OracleAS 10g Rel. 2 Portal. I've registered the Provider for Ultra Search.
Now I understand that I have to add a data source in the OC4J_Portal configuration file "data-sources.xml"
I want to make Ultra Search crawl and search our Portal.
So I need to create a news Instance with the following entries (also for the data-sources.xml):
- username and password are the Oracle Ultra Search instance owner's database user name and password.
where do I find these info? It all has been done automatically by the RepCa when installing the IASPortal... ?- database_host is the host name of the back end database computer.
is this the URL of our portal server (with or without /pls/portal/)?- oracle_port is the port to the user's Oracle Database.
the standard Port of the Oracle Listener (1521)?- oracle_sid is the SID of the user's Oracle Database.
Where do I get the SID of Portal DB after Installation?Thx,
Gerhard

Hi echee!
I don't know what happened in the weekend, but now the Ultra Search portlet doesn't throws any exception.
It seems works correctly.
Maybe the servers was restarted or the sheduled crawler recovered something in the indexed data.
I'm totally surprised.
I checked the log files, but I didn't find any failure message.
Now I must build a new Search Portlet for our portal, and I will contact you, if the problem returns.
Csaba.

Try to verify the Inso filter ctxhx is working in your
environment; manually do the filtering from the
command line. for example:
ctxhx <input file> <output file> ascii iso8859-1 H Meta
where ctxhx is located under $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/bin/ directory

Thanks & regards,

Hi Sarabjeet,
The XML iView uses server-side fetching, so if you are having problems with a regular URL iView in server-side fetching mode, so the problem with the XML iVIew probably has to do with the proxy settings.
And since you got a 407 error, it seems there is an issue with proxy settings or the proxy server, as mentioned in this description of 407 error:
The HTTP 407 code only applies to users who are accessing the Internet behind a proxy server. This is common in government and corporate workplaces. The 407 code indicates that your computer must first authenticate itself with your company's proxy server. Check with your IT department or computer support group as to the exact reason why you may be getting this error. It may be possible that the proxy server does not allow downloads of specific files (exe, cab, com). You can also verify that your proxy server settings are valid.
I will check if I can find out any more specific info.

Oracle Text And Oracle Ultra search

Hi all,
I have a problem. I have some files in the server file system e.g C:/docs. I want to search these MS Office word files in order to see if they contain a word. I tried oracle ultra search but when i put File data source it provides a form file:/// and when i put C:/docs it gives me file://localhost/C:/docs. Can i configure Oracle ultra search to search into the server file system?Where is the directory that oracle ultra search searches a file?
How can index and search the files in the file systems exept oracle ultra search? Can Oracle Text do my job?
Sorry to bother and thank you in advance for your help
Antonis.

Hi,
Searching a word in a document (MS Word) can definitely be done using Oracle Text.
But, you other requirements can make things a bit complicated.
Oracle Text have something called file_datastore, where you need to mention the file_path/s and individual file names too.
Once you mention them, i.e. path and file names, oracle text can read the file , index them and you can query using simple queries.
If the number of files are huge, entering all the file names can be difficult. In that case you can give the following a try.
-- You can use a perl script to read the file name in a directory, put it into a file in a particular format (1 file name per line) and then load that text file into a table using ctxloader.
You can go through the FILE_DATASTORE and CTXLOADER examples from oracle text reference document.
