Integration of TREX/Enterprise Search

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to integrate TREX/Enterprise Search into a web dypro application? That means the user can put a search string into an input field in a web dynpro application, the request goes to the TREX and the result will be shown in a web dynpro table.

Are there any documentations? How to handle this? I couldn't find anything to manage this.

Thanks.

Regards, Susanne

The ABAP Dictionary F4 Search Helps (transaction se11) are supported by Web Dynpro ABAP in the same way as with SAP GUI.

Note that the function module TREX_EXT_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS is an SAP internal interface.

It is not released for customer use, i.e. you cannot claim SAP support for your implementation.

Instead you should use a released search framework, that resides on TREX.

For details read SAP note 1254901 - SES for customer projects on TREX search

If you need a cookbook, how to include your specific search help into a standard F4 search help, you can refer to SAP note 1345777 (FAQ SES), chapter 8.

Hi

We have integrated TREX in web dynpro .Just design your screen and use function module TREX_EXT_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS.

Hi Susanne,

Sure, this shouldn't be a problem...

just code up your Web Dynpro so that you call the methods of class CL_RSOS_TREX_SEARCH

As for examples - hmm nope sorry can't think of any, but there is nothing specific to WD ABAP that should stop you from being able to use TREX. Nor stop you reporting the results in a table.

What in particular are you worried about WDA not being able to handle? Or have I misunderstood your question?

Cheers,
