Implementing a Repository Manager

[#1]

Has anybody made further steps in implementing a Repository Manager according to the article of Thilo Brandt?

We are investigating the topic Repository Manager and started by using the example from Thilo Brandt "Simple Repository Manager".

The simple repository manager is now up and running,

but we want to be able to <b>search and find the documents provided by the repository</b> (in this case the file system).

For testing purposes I put 3 html documents and 2 text documents in the repository (C:/temp) and tried to index them.

None of the documents can be prepared:

I get the following error:

Error 8002: Unknown Hostname, Preparation failed.

Has anybody an idea what might be the problem?

Hello Rebecca,

two things to check:

1) have you set up the "Host" in the KM configuration for URL Generator service? --> Check the KM Access URLs in the details dialog of a resource and use the Explorer URL to test the link from the TREX machine.

2) Is this host reachable from the TREX machine (e.g. via ping command)?

Hello Thilo,

I solved the problem a few months ago.

However, thank you very much for your answer.

The problem had been that I worked with VMware and TREX was installed on another machine. So the portal on the VMware provided TREX with an URL not accessible from outside the VMware image.

As I only need TREX for a few testing purposes,

I installed it on the VMware image with the Portal as well.

Today I only edited my message.

Regards,

Rebecca
