TREX Search and Indexing in CAF Core 

Use

TREX (text retrieval and indexing) provides CAF with the means to index and search through large volumes of structured or unstructured data and documents. In this way, business object and their related entities in CAF can be readily accessed.

You use the CAF-specific users index_service and  caf_svc_user to check permissions of KM documents for indexing and to index CAF objects, respectively. Index creation is done by KM services.

TREX is based on a client/server architecture and you can configure a secure communication channel between TREX and CAF. The J2EE engine communicates to TREX through the HTTP server that is installed on the TREX server. Therefore, in order for CAF to be able to communicate with TREX, the server must be up and running.
