Use

Note the following changes and new features in the administration and configuration of Knowledge Management in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 07.

 

Scheduler Tasks Report (New)

The report lists all scheduler tasks that are entered in the Knowledge Management configuration. In a load balancing environment, you can use the report to redistribute scheduler tasks to other system nodes.

For more information, see Scheduler Tasks Report.

 

Crawlers (Changed)

New Parameter

The Respect the ‘index-content’ Propertyparameter is new.

This parameter is used for crawler in the General Purpose Crawler class and can be deactivated manually. For crawlers in the new Index Management Crawler class, this parameter is always activated and cannot be configured manually.

If it is activated, the crawler takes into account the index-content custom property for documents. If index-content = false, the documents are not passed on to TREX for indexing. However, the documents are searched for links.

 

New Crawler Class

In this release, the new Index Management Crawler class is introduced for crawlers in the configuration. During the upgrade to SPS 07, existing instances of the General Purpose Crawler class are converted to the new Index Management Crawler class automatically.

Crawlers in this class whose new name indicates use for various tasks in index administration are visible due to a lower number of parameters:

●      The Crawl Hidden Documents parameter is no longer visible. It is deactivated system-internally in each instance.

●      The Follow Links parameter is no longer visible. It is deactivated system-internally in each instance.

●      The Crawl Document Versions parameter is no longer visible. It is activated system-internally in each instance.

●      The Respect the ‘index-content’ Property parameter is not visible. It is activated system-internally in each instance.

The General Purpose Crawler class remains. Crawlers in this class can be addressed using API calls for your own projects. You can manually configure all parameters in this class.

For more information, see Crawlers and Crawler Parameters.

 

Consideration of ROBOTS Entries (Changed)

When crawling Web repositories, the following ROBOTS entries are taken into account in HTML documents:

●      <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOFOLLOW"> (was already supported)

This entry ensures that the crawler does not follow the links in the document. However, the crawler passes on documents with this meta tag to TREX for indexing.

●      <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX"> (support for this entry is new)

The crawler does not pass on documents with this meta tag to TREX for indexing. Therefore, the search results do not contain these documents. However, the crawler follows all links in the query documents.

●      <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"> (support for this entry is new)

This entry means that the document is not indexed and links are not followed.

 

Extend Search Queries (New)

You can link the user’s search query with another search query that you define in a Java class. The user's search query and the search query in the class are linked using AND. For example, you can define a search for a specific property value in the class (such as property targetgroup = “public”). The index returns only documents for which this value is set.

This function is implemented using the QueryExtender parameter that you enter in the custom properties for an index. For more information, see Creating an Index.
