Configuring CAF for TREX Search and Indexing 

Use

In order for each business object and their related entities to be searchable from CAF, you must first create TREX (text retrieval and indexing) indexes. You also need CAF-specific users to index and search for large collections of unstructured and structured data in KM with TREX.

You use caf_svc_user to index CAF objects. Index creation is done by KM services.

Prerequisite

You have launched the TREX administration console and verified that the HTTP service is running.

You have done this because the Application Server Java (AS Java) 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.

Procedure

Creating the caf_svc_user in CAF AS Java

 

       1.      Launch the User Management Engine with http://<host>:<port>/useradmin.

Remember to replace <host> and <port> with the AS Java you are using.

       2.      Create user caf_svc_user.

       3.      In General Information, choose Disable Password.

       4.      Log on to the Visual Administrator and go to Server → Services → Security Provider → Runtime →Policy Configurations → sap.com/caf~runtime~ear*sap.com~caf~runtime~impl.jar → Security Roles → Role Type →Security Role.

       5.      Choose OK when the dialog window appears.

       6.      Choose  and add user caf_svc_user to the users mappings.

Creating the caf_svc_user in KM

 

       1.      Launch the User Management Engine with http://<host>:<port>/useradmin.

Remember to replace <host> and <port> with the AS Java you are using.

       2.      Create user caf_svc_user.

       3.      In General Information, choose Disable Password.

Adjusting the KM Index Service in CAF AS Java

You may need to perform the following steps because newer versions of the KM cannot work without authorization.

 

       1.      Log on to the Visual Administrator tool.

       2.      Go to Services → Destinations → Web Service → sap.com/caf~km.proxies/KMIndexSvcJNDI/KMIndexSvc.

       3.      Set authentication to Assertion Ticket.

Adjusting the KM Base Service in CAF AS Java

You only have to perform the following steps if you have previously installed versions of CAF.

 

       1.      Log on to the Visual Administrator tool.

       2.      Go to Services → Destinations → Web Service → sap.com/caf~km.proxies/KMBasesvcJNDI/KMBasesvc  → Authentication.

       3.      Verify that authentication is set to Logon Ticket.
