TREX with crawling issue full qualified hostname SAP Webdispatcher

0 Kudos

Hello All,

I have a question about the SAP Netweaver Portal. We have configured for our customer TREX and crawling for a web repository using the SAP Netweaver Portal and TREX 7.0. The SAP Webdispatcher server is rerouting the URL like http://sapwebdispatcherserver/index.html to the existing SAP Netweaver portal on the http://netweaverportalserver:51200/index.html.

The problem is that when we are using a link to crawl in the index.html file like for example: http://sapwebdispatcherserver/index.html link, the page cannot be crawled and indexed therefore not searchable using the search option in Knowledge Management. When we crawl an index.html file using the http://netweaverportalserver:51200/index.html link the crawling and indexing is done excellent without any problem.

The following has already been done and configured:

Creating HTTP System

Creating a website

Creating a cache for repository manager

Creating a repository manager

Creating a crawler

Creating an index

Adding a web repository to an index

Configure the IndexServiceTaskQueueReader for two server id’s

Configure the indexing for the SAP Webdispatcher (loadbalancer)

Configure Alternative Host for the SAP Webdispatcher.

The only configuration I could figure out is that the full qualified host name could be an issue with the following:

HTTP System

-> System Administration - System Configuration - KM - CM - Global Services - SLD - Systems - HTTP Systems

or

TREX Name Server

-> System Administration - System Configuration - Index Administration - TREX monitor - Name Server

or

Alternative host

-> System Administration - System Configuration - KM - CM - Global Services - URL Generator Service

Anyone has any experience or information for configuration for TREX with SAPWebdispatcher and full qualified hostname crawling?

Regards,

Stevano Cheung

Hello All,

We have found the solution for this and the TREX machine is indexing the Web Repository now.

HTTP System (Mode: Advanced):

System Administration - System Configuration - KM - CM - Global Services - SLD - Systems - HTTP Systems

With Full qualified hostname:

Server Aliases: http://<SAP Webdispatcher - Full Qualified Hostname>

Server URL: http://<SAP Webdispatcher - Full Qualified Hostname>

Alternative host

-> System Administration - System Configuration - KM - CM - Global Services - URL Generator Service

Without Full Qualified Hostname:

Alternative Host: http://<TREX Indexserver>
