Use

You use this activity to create an RFC destination. You need this to use BWA indexes, for the BW metadata search, and for the document search (if you are not using the portal document search).

Requirements

You have installed TREX. You must install SAP Gateway before you can install TREX. See the documentation Installing/Administrating Retrieval and Classification (TREX) in a Non-Portal Environment.

  1. Choose Create.
  2. Enter a name for the RFC Destination.
  3. Choose the connection type T.
  4. Enter a description.
  5. Choose Save.

On the Technical Settings tab page, you specify the settings for the RFC destination.

  1. Select Registered Server Program as the activation type.
  2. In the Program ID field, enter ims_server_admin.exe.
  3. Specify the Gateway Host and the Gateway Service.

On the Technical Settings tab page, you specify the settings for the RFC destination IMSDEFAULT.

  3. For Save As, select the required option (Host or IP Address).
  4. Depending on the option selected, in the Target Host field, enter the host name (with domain name if necessary) or the IP address of the Windows NT computer on which the Index Management Service is installed.
  5. Choose Save.
