Prerequisites

Prerequisites

The search engine is installed and its server processes

are running.

Information about the installation can be obtained at:

http://service.sap.com/instguides

-> Installation & Upgrade Guides

-> SAP NetWeaver 

The search engine can be accessed via a gateway.

The gateway can be accessed from the available R/3

system via an RFC destination.

=> See transaction SM59 for RFC-destinations

Business Example

With the search options available before TREX the user

had to know in which field he had to search for a certain

value. If he wasn’t sure about the field, the search was

rather difficult and time consuming.

Example:

The user is searching for a pump of a certain type (piece

of equipment). He isn’t sure whether the “type” and

“pump” information is stored in

- Equipment short text

- Object type

- Model Number 

- Manufacturer Part Number - Construction type

With the new search the user can enter a value or string

and the system will search through all of those fields.

TREX Search Methods (I): Quick Search

Use a single term or phrase for searching

Fuzzy mode: Returns results even if search term or object contains spelling

mistakes (e.g. carbiolet instead of cabriolet)

Equipment data is collected from tables: EQUI, EQUZ, ILOA, EQBT, EQBS

Func.Loc. data is collected from tables: IFLOT, IFLOTX, IFLOS, ILOA

No data from customizing (e.g. description of “object type”) is being searched

No classification data for the object (Equipment / FuncLoc) is being searched
