Hello Bharat,

In E-Recruiting or generally because in E-Recruiting you can start it via SES_ADMIN but usually it is done automatically in delta mode via the periodical service job.

Nicole,

I just started learning TREX ( As such I am a seasoned E-recruiting consultant) and would like to understand the concepts.

I find a program called COM_SE_DISPATCHER. I guess this is the same periodical service job you are referring to - right!

I also came across in HELP that we would create indexes for business objects(ERC_CAND...) in SES_ADMIN and trigger indexing using the above batch job. Is there any other method to trigger indexing.

Please correct me if I am wrong. We can perform two different tasks in TREX - Indexing and searching.

Indexing would index all the activated business objects - since we have tons of data we would like to place them in a particular order and we perform indexing for that.

After the data/documents/objects are indexed the next part is the search.

Let us say a business user (recruiter search for candidate , candidate search for job postings) starts a search for a particular business object (how does system know which index to use - either candidate index or candidate relationship index!!) then system would look at the index and fetch the data.

How does the search work exactly -  I believe SES would direct the search to TREX and it would fetch data!!

So I have a couple of doubts - I would need to know exactly what happens during indexing and why we perform indexing! what happens when someone searches ! How to administer all these!!

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

Bharat

Hello Bharat,

COM_SE_DISPATCHER is the SES report indexing the objects, so our periodical job (RCF_PERIODICAL_SERVICES) is calling that report. You need to schedule therefore, RCF_PERIODICAL_SERVICES and not COM_SE_DISPATCHER. That's very important because if you have both scheduled, you will get no results because it will run twice!

You have different places where you can start the indexing but in fact, everywhere COM_SE_DISPATCHER is called at the last.

No, if you start a full indexing for example you select the business object index and run it, then you can select the other one and so on.

Every search template is assigned to a particular search profile in E-Recruiting and each search profile is mapped to the corresponding SES business object. So the system knows which customizing it has to read.

E-Recruiting builds the search query and then we use SES-FMs to get data from TREX, they send it back and we build our hitlists.
