Why Search?


Productivity: Employee spend 1 to 3 hours per day searching for information*

BI for the Masses: Current BI penetration 20% The Google effect on BI

Information Access: Information doubles every two years Most valuable data is structured in applications and data stores Acceleration of ad hoc queries Unified access to internal and external data

The Case for Enterprise Search

Sources: Business Week; Accenture research on companies with annual revenue of more than $500 million; Forrester research

SAP customer search

Searching SAP with iWay and Google Search Appliance

In this example you’re searching for Doctors in Region 6 within SAP

In this example you’re searching for Doctors in any region within SAP

When you click on the Google search link of the document you would like to see, the results will be displayed in an HTML format which was rendered by the iWay adapter live from the SAP system.

The Alternative?

Logon to sap

Select the proper system and enter the correct credentials

SAP Main Menu

Click on SAP Menu, if not present select menu option menu->SAP menu

Sap standard menu appears

Select Logistics

Logistics menu

Select Sales and Distribution->MasterData

Master Data Menu

Select Business Partner->Customer

Customer menu

Select Customer->Display->Complete

Customer Display entry screen

Click the box in a circle at the end of the customer field to open the search menu

Customer search menu

Customer Search Options

Click the rightmost button at the end of the tabs to display all possible search options

Search options

Important to note that all the options except the first checked one, required the user toknow something about the customer they are searching for. No title search is permitted,

Such as “Dr.” or “Ms”, and it is only a “starts with” that doesn’t display all entries !

Sample search

“judy” is entered and the green check clicked

Wrong result

The term “judy” is auto converted by SAP to uppercase, and the wrong record returned

Desired result

How to find the correct record

If using standard SAP software, write an ABAP program!

Create ABAP program

Assign program to package

Enter code and run

Nothing is returned, so change query and run again!

Run ABAP report

Not using a WHERE clause, returns all customers, could be costly!

Found correct record!

Where program runs, the sap report view displays the results, select FIND from the Menu and enter search term.

Reason why where clause failed

Spelling was not correct (1) or field did not contain the correct data (2) to match the Where clause in the program.

Return to Display Customer and enter customer number

Enter the number found on the report to get the customer display screen

Display Correct Customer

iWay Enterprise Index Object


Flexibility: How adaptable is search?


Typical Search Engine

Data Store


Typical Search Engine

“Snapshot” Indexing Information is crawled 1 to 1 mapping of data to search results

Great for machines, bad for people

Limited Joins on Data for Views Database Driven

No ability to integrate logic

All or nothing approach Can’t customize much per source


i-Way Service Manager

Magnify: Transactional Indexing Overview

Capture incoming transactions

Enrich transaction with meta data

Transform and feed records into Google

Search Request

Process Search

Magnify Results

Report Request

WF Report

• Dynamic Categorization allows uses to narrow down thousands of search results to what they need in a guided manner• Dynamic Tabular View allows users to sort, chart, pivot, etc. the search results• Run directly from the search Hits standard, parametrized, ad hoc and other reports


Utilizing Service Manager with Search

Real-time Transactional Indexing Information is pushed Custom mapping of data to search results

Great for machines, even better for people

Custom Joins Against Any Source Database + ERP + CRM + 3270 + CICS… comprehensive

view of data

Customizable Security


Utilizing Service Manager with Search

Full SOA Stack Conditional Logic Call applications based on data Reformat, modify data as needed before indexing GUI Driven

Customization Customize as much as desired per source Or.. Use a simple reusable flow if no customization is

necessary


Relevancy Enhancements: Dynamic Categorization


Reusability: How long does it take to implement?
