Retrieval: Search Server Relation Monitor 

Use

In the Retrieval: Search Server Relation Monitor screen, you can display your settings for the following areas of the search engine for your retrieval system and, if necessary, change or delete them:

·        Search Server Relation (SSR)

·        RFC-Destination (TCP/IP)

·        Index Category (Index)

We highly recommend using the search server relation monitor in the following instances,

·         If you have difficulty with an index category (for example, when executing the RSTIRIDX program)

·         If you are no longer using an index category and their indexes, and you, therefore, want to delete them

·         If you want to change or enhance your settings in the Business Information Warehouse Implementation Guide (IMG)

Integration

If you are in the Managing the BW Document Administration screen, you use Search Server Relations to get to the Retrieval: Search Server Relation Monitor (transaction SRMO) screen.

Prerequisites

Within the scope of the new installation, you have made the following settings:

·        Creation of an RFC Destination in the BW System

·        Creation of a Search Server Relation

You can find additional information about activities having the same names in the Business Information Warehouse Implementation Guide (IMG) under Documents for BW Objects.

Functions

Tab Page: Search Server Relation

The table shows the Search Server Relation (SSR) created in the implementation guide for the BW system. This Search Server Relation has to be indicated as a standard SSR in the Default SSR column.

Tab Page: RFC Destinations

The table shows the RFC destination created in the implementation guide for the BW system. However, for each Search Server Relation there is one RFC destination with action I (index) and one with action S (search).

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:

RFC destinations

 Change Destination

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

 Connection Test

You arrive at the Test Connection Between RFC Server and Search Engine dialog box. Next to the check results, the system displays whether the RFC connection worked for the selected Search Server Relation, as well as information about the version of the RFC server and the search engine.

 Change Status

You arrive at the Changing RFC Destination Status dialog box. Choose the status you want in the New Status area.

Search engine

 Display Data Path

You arrive at the Display Search Engine Data Path dialog box. The system displays the search engine data path set.

C:/Program Files/SAP/SAPTREX/index. 

 Set Data Path

You arrive at the Setting the Search Engine Data Path (Directory) dialog box. Under New Data Path, you can specify a new path with a maximum of 255 characters.

 Display BACKUP Path

You arrive at the Display Search Engine Backup Path dialog box. . The system displays the search engine backup path set.

C:/Program Files/SAP/SAPTREX/backup

 Set BACKUP Path

You arrive at the Setting the Search Engine Backup Path (Directory) dialog box. Under New Backup Path, you can specify a new path with a maximum of 255 characters.

Tab Page: Index Category (Index)

To display an index category, specify the index category ID, which is the 32-place GUID, in the Index Category field. Input help is available.

Choose  Display. The system shows the index category settings and activates the functions in the toolbar. The following tables are displayed in the lower screen area:

·        Created indexes

·        Document Attributes

·        Index Category Attributes

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.
