Interesting problem:Free Form Searches

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

After upgrading to MDM 5.5 SP1 , i find that i can't do free-form searches on a few fields in a given table .For instance , i have a 'PRODUCTS' table which has fields like 'DESCRIPTION' , 'MANUFACTURER' , 'CATEGORY' , 'PART NUMBER' etc. I find that while using Data manager / JAVA API i get results only when the search field is 'MANUFACTURER' or 'PART NUMBER' whereas for the other two viz.DESCRIPTION' and CATEGORY i don't get any results.

Will appreciate your inputs.

Thanks,

Karambir Singh.

Hi Karambir,

Is this MDM 5.5 SP4 Patch1 or MDM 5.5 SP1?

I have the right JAR file in the classpath.Its not the problem of the JAR file.Even if i go to the data manager and do the free-form searches on those two fields , i don't get any results.

Did you try to "Update Indices" while loading the Repository?

Thanks Alejandro for the reply,

I am not really sure as to how to do that.If you could guide me to some document/link , i'll surely love to try that.

Sure, just unload the repository and when re-loading, do not just right click->Inmediate, but choose the other option right click -> Update indices

I hope that helps

Make sure that the api jar file version matches the MDM Server version.

Remove the old MDM4J jar from the class path.

Add the new MDM4J jar, which matches with the MDM Server version to the Java Build Path.

You can download the new jar from Service Market Place.

Hope this helps.
