Process documentationCreating Connectors

 

You create connectors based on models, which are provided by applications such as SAP ERP. These connectors are then used for searching.

Note Note

For documentation about the models provided by SAP from other SAP applications, see the documentation for the respective SAP application.

End of the note.

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

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

Create Connector

  1. Launch the Embedded Search administration cockpit 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.

    You can also launch the administration cockpit using transaction ESH_COCKPIT.

    End of the note.

  2. Choose Create.

  3. Choose the software component that provides the required models.

  4. In the list, select the required models that you want to use with Embedded Search.

    Note Note

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

    End of the note.

  5. Choose Create Connector.

Continue with the Starting the Indexing of Connectors step.
