ATG Search and how to generate XHTMLs from STG file


The ATG search  indexing will give you the idx and stg files. When I analyse the stg files with some text editors like Textpad or Ultraedit , found some <html> and </html> tags and the contents inside these tags seems to be the same content of the temporary XHTML files , which will be generated during the search indexing for each indexed item. So I deicded to take the contents in between the <html> and </html> tags and save as XHTML file and it works for almost all indexed items. As you might know, these XHTML file’s <head> tag contains all the meta properties ( refine properties ) and the <body> tag have the text properties ( searchable properties ) for each indexed item.

Please note that the above steps are not an ATG recommended method to generate the XHTML files. I come across to this simple method to form the XHTML files and I am not 100% sure that this will give all the XHTML files of a search index . But I found this to be very useful for debugging any ATG search related issues.

Please find the below JAVA code written to genrate the XHTML files from an stg file. The main method is expecting the name of the stg file as a program argument. This will create a folder named “XHTML_Files” in the current directory and will save the XHTML files inside this folder.

Please find the below screen shot of XHTML files generated using this JAVA code :




Please find the below screen shot of a sample XHTML file generated using this JAVA code :





import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;

public class ATGSearchStgXHTMLGenerator {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
String fileName =  args[0];
String xhtmlfilePath = ".\\XHTML_Files";
if(fileName ==  null){
System.out.println("Give the stg file name as input");
return;
}
File stgfile = new File(fileName);
FileReader stgfileFis = new FileReader(stgfile);
BufferedReader stgfileBr = new BufferedReader(stgfileFis);
String readLine = stgfileBr.readLine();
String outToWrite = null;
String outFileName = null;
File outFile = new File(xhtmlfilePath);
boolean exists = outFile.exists();
if(!exists){
(new File(xhtmlfilePath)).mkdir();
}
FileWriter outFileWriter = null;
int lineNumber = 1;
int xhtmlFileCount = 1;
boolean canWriteXhtmlfile = false;
do {
if(readLine.contains("<html>")
&& readLine.contains("</html>")){
outToWrite = readLine.substring(readLine.indexOf("<html>"),readLine.indexOf("</html>")+7);
outFileName = "\\XHTMLFile_";
canWriteXhtmlfile = true;
}else if(readLine.contains("<html>")
&& !readLine.contains("</html>")){
System.out.println("In the STG file at lineNumber:" +lineNumber+" ERROR: html tag found, but no end tag for");
outToWrite = readLine.substring(readLine.indexOf("<html>"),readLine.length());
outFileName = "\\XHTMLFile_Error_";
canWriteXhtmlfile = true;
}
if(canWriteXhtmlfile){
outFile =  new File(xhtmlfilePath+outFileName+(xhtmlFileCount++)+".xhtml");
outFileWriter =  new FileWriter(outFile);
outFileWriter.write(outToWrite);
outFileWriter.close();
}
readLine = stgfileBr.readLine();
lineNumber++;
canWriteXhtmlfile = false;
} while (readLine != null);
System.out.println("The STG file is processed fully till lineNumber"+lineNumber);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

ATG search installation and search engine log files

Here I would like to explain how your ATG search folder structure looks like after you do the ATG search installation and also about the search engine log files. To get the ATG search, you need to install the ATGSearch<version>Windows.exe after you do the ATG installation. When you install ATG search, the generated folders include an OS dependant folder. In the below screen shot, you could see the "i686-win32-vc71" folder and this is generated since the ATG search ins installed in a windows machine. The ATG search engine is actually an exe file inside this "i686-win32-vc71" folder. Below screen shot give you an idea about the "atgsearch.exe", which is the search engine application. This search engine application (atgsearch.exe) is started by a remote launcher call from the BCC search administration UI.  The log files like "atgsearch_20120106112413_568.log" are the search engine log files where you could see the engine ...

Intimation u/s 143(1) of the Income Tax act

Have you got your Income Tax filing e-receipt ? After a successful assessment of tax returns, income tax department issues Intimation u/s 143(1). Normally these intimations will be received through email to the Email address provided when filing income tax returns online. If “NET AMOUNT REFUNDABLE /NET AMOUNT DEMAND”  is less than Rs 100, you can treat this Intimation u/s 143(1) as completion of income tax returns assessment under Income Tax Act. It can be useful for the proof of Income/ Completion of income tax returns assessment. In case of demand , we need to pay the entire Demand within 30 days of receipt of this intimation.The payment can be made using the printed challan enclosed in the mail or you can go for online tax payment. The Tax Payment challan is enclosed if the Tax Payable exceeds Rs. 100. If you go for online tax payment, follow the instructions listed @   http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/03/online-income-tax-payment-using.html  a...

ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine. The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml  and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @  <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder. (1)  Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component.               rwTimeout is the  length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed. (2)  Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpar...
