Re: Crawling files in external application

[Shahram Banihashem]

When you create you external content type, you can create a profile page
which displays the item properties (metadata). This form is similar to
'View Properties' page. The same form will be displayed if you click on the
identifier field on the External List.

Anyway, the search crawler indexes items and its properties in my external
list with no error. They appear on search results properly. But I need the
crawler to index the associated document to each item as well.

I have exposed the document URL as one of the properties but it seams the
crawler doesn't traverse through the document URL.

Look like the URL appears as text Search Crawler.



Regards,

Shahram.

Is it the same account used as the application pool account for that site?

I'm using the same Farm/SC Admin account in al cases but I know what u mean. 
I've seen this before with non admin users.

Just very frustrating cos I usually do my dev work on the box via RDP.

There is no load balancing. Just one SharePoint box running as app and WFE, and 
separate SQL server.

The only place this occurs is from the box itself. And it's consistent.

Can view the list from SP servers in other farms, so it doesn't seem to be a SP 
server issue.

Just very odd. Wondering if I'm missing a prerequisite or other app but can't 
find any related info online.

No it doesn't. Completely bizarre.



Can't imagine what occurs before a large list is rendered that would cause this.

Hi all,



I've created a list which exceeds the list view threshold of 5000. I then 
created a grouped view. This view displays without problem in 3 different 
browsers (FF, Chrome, IE) on two different machines (logged in as site admin in 
all cases).



However on one box (the SharePoint app server), all browsers are displaying the 
"This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold..." 
error.



Any idea how or why this would occur??



Regards,



Paul

Re: Crawling files in external application

[Web Admin]

What do you mean by "crawler only index the profile page with all the
metadata in it"?

Do u get results on a search results page using OOTB web part?

Have u considered a custom render template to format the non-SharePoint
metadata to suit your needs?

Crawling files in external application

[Shahram Banihashem]

Hi All,

I need to get my SharePoint 2013 search to crawl files sitting in an
external (non-SharePoint) application. The files are not accessible as a
network drive or similar. They can be accessed over HTTP only through the
hosting application, like a web service with the document Id.

I've tried SharePoint BCS and SQL Server Connector to get the list of the
documents (Title, URL, and other metadata). But, the crawler only index the
profile page with all the metadata in it, not the document itself. The URL
appears as text though in the profile page.

In case it helps, the external application is TechnologyOne ECM.

Do you have any suggestion or solution for this requirement?

Regards,

Shahram.
