After Installing Trex u need register Trex hosts with EP

Registering TREX Hosts with the Portal:

To register TREX hosts with the Portal, you have to first locate the name server and port of the TREX Installation. This is located in sapmsg.ini. You have to then set up the TREX name server in the J2EE Engine with the Visual Administrator.

Procedure

To locate the name server and port

1. Log on to the server with Administrator privileges.

2. Navigate to the installation folder of TREX (that is C:\usr\sap\trex_00\).

3. Double-click sapprofile.ini to open the file in Notepad.

4. Make a note of the port number. The default is 30001. You will need to enter this port number to the J2EE Visual Administrator in a later step.

To set up the TREX name server in the J2EE Engine

1. Open Windows Explorer in the server.

2. Navigate to J2EE Admin installation directory (that is C:\usr\sap\[SID]\JC##\j2ee\admin).

3. Double-click go.bat to start the J2EE Visual Administrator.

4. Log on to the Visual Administrator.

5. Choose Global Configuration  Services  TREX Service.

6. Select the nameserver.address properties field.

7. Enter the server name of the TREX instance and the port number.

8. Choose Update.

9. Choose the Save button.

10. Select Yes to restart the TREX Service.

11. To exit the J2EE Visual Administrator, choose Close  Exit.

Check the connection to the Enterprise Portal

1. Log on to the Enterprise Portal with super-administrator permissions.

2. Choose System Administration  Monitoring  Knowledge Management  TREX Monitor  Server Status.

You should see the status of the HTTP Server, Name Server, Queue Server, and Index Server is Available.

Hope this helps u

Krishna.
