SAP TREX 7.10 – update
TREX is based on a client/server architecture. The client software is integrated into the application that uses the TREX functions, and allows communication with the TREX servers. The TREX servers execute the requests of the clients: They index and classify documents and respond to search queries.
TREX offers an ABAP and a Java client. This allows ABAP and Java applications to use TREX functions. ABAP and Java applications communicate with the TREX servers using different protocols and components.
- ABAP applications communicate with TREX servers using the RFC protocol. Communication takes place using an instance of the SAP Gateway and an RFC server.
- Java applications communicate with TREX using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. This communication takes place using a Web server that is enhanced with TREX-specific functions
How to update TREX
Install package You can find here:
- Log on to the TREX host:
UNIX: As root user.
2. Navigate to the directory to which you unpacked the TREX binary files:
UNIX: <path to unpack directory>/tx_trex_content/TX_LINUX_X86_64
This directory was created by unpacking the TREX software package using SAPCAR.
3. Call the install.sh installation script (depending on your shell) as follows:
UNIX: ./install.sh --action=update --sid=<SAPSID> --password=<password for adm/service user> --restart
The installation procedure will take less than 15 minutes. You can find more information about using the installation script executing it with the –help
./install.sh –help
4. If the option restart wasn’t used, after the installation has finished you need to restart TREX:
UNIX: Log on as adm user. To stop TREX, enter: TREX stop To start TREX, enter: TREX start
