PLM 7 and Netweaver Enterprise Search

[Former Member]

We installed PLM 7.0. We also had an existing TREX server and we set that up to do indexing in ABAP. Now we have a requirement to use PLM UI on the portal and we need the search results to display there. All the docs I have read are basically saying we have to use Netweaver Entrprise Search for any search to work within the portal. Can anyone confirm this? Or maybe does anyone know if its possible to display search results in the portal just using TREX and embedded search.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance.

hello All,

The Standard Search functionality of PLM Core 7.0 is shipped with Embedded Search of NW which has a dependency on the TREX 7.1.

If all the features of PLM Core Search are to be used the version 7.1 version of TREX is Important.

Best regards,

HI Storm,

We are in the same decision making for moving from TREX 7.0 to 7.1 with Enterprise Search Functionality as we are planning to go for SAP PLM 7.0.

We have gone thru no of documents & presentation which suggest to go for TREX 7.1 for SAP PLM 7.0 (which is access able thru EP or using the NWBC) to take advantage of the Enterprise search functionality.

you can reffer to following notes

SAP Note 1164979

SAP Note 1266024

SAP Note 1249465

thanks

john
