Is there any option in ABAP , which can replace TREX for talent search

Hi Trex Guru's,

There is an requirement where TREX needs to be replaced with ABAP for talent search.

We understand that this can be done with only ESS and MSS roles, but we have to have TMS also without TREX.

Thanks

Annapurna.

Hi Annapurna,

I don't believe this is possible.

Hi Annapurna,

as Luke mentioned there is no standard way to replace TREX/enterprise search to get search results. All talent management specialist related talent searches are based on TREX. All talent searches done by the manager are based on OADP.

For one customer who did not want to use TREX we created a custom solution without TREX. We enhanced the search class not to use TREX. We developed a solution based on ABAP memory usage. There was a nightly job which precalculated the search results into a ABAP memory table. This table was the bases for the talent search.

This is a very complex solution. I can not suggest to replace the TREX search. But if there is a good reason not to use TREX may be thie can be a solution.

If you need more details please answer here.

best regards

Hi Annapurna,

it is rally a complex solution. Ina give you only high level steps to implement such a solution. You need a Developer who is really familiar with ABAP memory.

1) Crearte Tables in ABAP Memory which contain all the data which you want to search for. Please have a look at Structure hrtmc_t_search_result. This is the (deep) structure which is posted to the fronted.

2) Create ABAP Coding which exports all the OM and PD Data which should be searchable later to your Tables in ABAP memory.

3) Create a Search functionality which performs a search on your data in bap memory.

4) Map the your data to the structure hrtmc_t_search_result.

5) Enhance Method TRIGGER_ADV_SEARCH and TRIGGER_SIMPLE_SEARCH of class CL_HRTMC_AC_SEARCH. They should use your new created search method instead of the standard search methods which get date from TREX.

If you use standard data structures you can use standard UI's to display the search results.

best regards
