Functions

Tab Page: Search Server Relation

The table gives an overview of all Search Server Relations (SSR) created so far in the BW system. However, the system displays the key (ID) for the Search Server Relation, the chosen search engine, and the specification regarding whether this Search Server Relation was set as default.

The following functions are available in the lower screen area as well as by using the pushbuttons in the toolbar:

 Create SSR

 Delete SSR

 Change Search Engine

 Display Applications

Additional Information

Set SSR as Default

Tab Page: RFC Destinations

The table gives an overview of all RFC destinations created so far in the BW system. However, for each Search Server Relation, there is an RFC destination with the action I (index) and one with the action S (search).

In the Settings Display area, you can restrict the Search Server Relations display to specific value ranges by using Filter: Status Filter and Filter: Action.

Using Maintain RFC Destinations in the toolbar, you arrive at the Display and Maintenance of RFC Destinations (transaction SM59) screen. To connect to the search engine, you can create, change, delete, or search in the area of the TCP/IP-connections destinations. (You can find additional information about creating an RFC destination in the BW system in the "Prerequisites" chapter in the Implementation Guide.)

If you select a Search Server Relation, you can change or check the following search engine settings both in the lower screen area as well as by using the respective push buttons in the tool bar:

 Change Destination

You arrive at the Set a Search Server Relation RFC Destination dialog box. Enter a new RFC destination.

Of the functions available in the toolbar, Delete Category is especially important: With the help of this function you can target and delete an index category and the indexes that belong to it. For example, this can be helpful if errors occur when indexing documents for a search.

Note that deleting an index category cannot be reversed, and that re-indexing can take a large amount of time in some cases.
