Searching for Business Objects an Documents using TREX

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am new to TREX und have a requirement to index the SAP eShop (business objects) as well as several content repositories (html, pdf doc). I am pretty sure that TREX can index all these documents and objects. It is possible to search in these documents using just one search query? As I know, searching for business objects can be done only by using Ses / Embedded Search and the system ID has to be provided.Do I have to split up the search query in two further queries: the first one for searching in content repository (pdf, html) and the second one for searching in eShop (Business Objects)?

thanks for your help

Hi Nicolai,

in this case you have to implement within ABAP a class for the SES interface.

Within this class you have to fetch the document content and store it in an attribute for SES.

This class implementation will be used by SES Framework to send it to TREX for indexing and searching.

So this is a customer ABAP development project based on SES Framework.

This is also done within the SAP Consulting Solution mentioned in Hinweis 1332745 - trex based document search with classification support.

Here the DMS originals are indexed with the DRAW data within SES.

So have a closer look how to use and implement own classes for SES in help.sap.com.

Dear Nicolai,

it is not so easy like you describe your question.

Within AS ABAP it is only allowed to a customer to use the SES or Embedded Search Framework.

SES is available with NW 7.0

and Embedded Search is available with NW 7.01 (Basis of ABAP of cause).

SES and Embedded Search is able to indexing and searching within business objects and documents.

So that's why one query is enough.

But the open question is how and who indexed your documents. So if this is not SES or Embedded Search than there are two indexes and the next question is who will write the search query.... so it is not SAP standard, isn't it?

Hello Frank,

thanks for your answer. Could you please provide some information on how to index documents (no business objects) using SeS?

Hello,

I have a TREX indexed some documents from KM as well as from SAP eShop. If I got it right, the TREX built 2 indexes: KM index ans eShop index. I would like to use the KM indexmanagement API (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9237e490-0201-0010-f3a1-9a322ccbd8b1) for searching with TREX. Can I search both KM index as well as eShop index using this API

thanks for help
