You create search object connectors based on search object connector templates, which are provided by applications such as SAP ERP.

To make the objects in the search object connectors available in the search, you have to start or schedule their indexing.

Prerequisites

You have the SAP_ESH_LOCAL_ADMIN role.

You have read the central note for Embedded Search and imported any notes listed there, if necessary.

Process

Creating Search Object Connectors

  1. Launch the administration cockpit for Embedded Search in the browser using the URL http://<host_name>:<port_number>/sap/es/cockpit.

    Note Note

    <Host_name> stands for the SAP NetWeaver host and <Port_number> stands for the port that you use to reach the SAP NetWeaver system.

    End of the note.

  2. Choose Create.

  3. Choose the software component that provides the required search object connector templates.

  4. In the list, select the required search object connector templates that you want to use with Embedded Search.

    Note Note

    Note that a search object connector template can reference further search object connector templates. If this is the case, the system creates more than one search object connector in the administration cockpit although you chose only one search object connector template.

    End of the note.

  5. Choose Create Connector.

Starting Indexing

  1. Choose a search object connector and choose   Actions   Schedule Indexing  .

  2. Choose Start Immediately or schedule indexing for a later point in time. You can also schedule delta indexing here. You can also run or change the delta indexing at a later time.

    Note Note

    Instead of defining delta indexing separately for each search object connector, you can subsequently run a report that starts delta indexing for several or all search object connectors of a software component. For more information, see Using a Report to Run Delta Indexing.

    End of the note.

  3. Choose OK.

Note Note

In transaction RZ11, you must assign the value 4 to the auth/new_buffering profile parameter so that changes in user data are available without delay and can be subsequently indexed. Then schedule object USER_AUTHORITY for delta indexing.

End of the note.
