ATG Search - how estore(commerce instance) forms the search engine SOAP URL ?

The comminucation between the Commerce box and the Search engine is through SOAP. Read  more about this architecture @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.in/2011/11/atg-search-architectural-flow-search.html

The commerce instance forms the SOAP url just like the below code:

private URL getSearchEngineURL(SearchEngine engine) {
      SearchEnvironmentHost h =  engine.getSearchEnvironmentHost();
      SearchMachine hi = h.getSearchMachine() ;
      return new URL("http://" + hi.getHostname() + ":" + engine.getPort() + "/AEXmlService/");
  }

So the commerce instance need the hi.getHostname()  and engine.getPort() to form the url. It is obtained as below:


1. The component /atg/commerce/search/refinement/CommerceFacetSearchService has the siteName defined, which will be pointing to the environment name defined in the Search Project. Read  more about this search project setup @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.in/2012/01/atg-search-how-to-create-search-project.html

          siteName=SearchProjectLocal

2. By using the above siteName, the commerce instance will obtain the search enigne hostbox name just like the below query :

       select * from rout_host_inf  where id =( select host_info_id from rout_host where parent_env_id = ( select id from rout_env where env_name = 'SearchProjectLocal' ) )   --> The hi.getHostname() got from here

3. By using the above siteName, the commerce instance will obtain the search enigne hostbox name just like the below query :

      select * from rout_engine where host_id = (select id from rout_host where parent_env_id = (select id from rout_env where env_name = 'SearchProjectLocal')) --> The engine.getPort() got from here

  1. How does the engine information get populated in the SearchConfigurationRepository for a remote store instance ?

  2. Both the remote store and CA ( content administrator or search administrator or ATG-BCC ) will point to the same SearchConfigurationRepository. So when the Search Project get created @ Search administrator, it will get reflected @ SearchConfigurationRepository with the new search engine information and if a new indexing happens, that information also get updated @ SearchConfigurationRepository.

  3. How do you delete a search project without using the UI?

  4. You need to remove the project from srch_project table and its ref. and child tables.

    The following set of queries might help you. Make sure that you use it wisely. :-)

    --To delete a search project that is not created correctly:

    select * from ROUT_INDEX order by est_start desc
    delete from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null

    select * from rout_dep_hist where time_ended is null
    delete from rout_dep_hist where time_ended is null

    select * from rout_log_part where parent_index in ( select id from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null)
    delete from rout_log_part where parent_index in ( select id from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null)

    select * from rout_phys_part_m where log_part_id in ( select id from rout_log_part where parent_index in ( select id from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null))
    delete from rout_phys_part_m where log_part_id in ( select id from rout_log_part where parent_index in ( select id from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null))

    select * from rout_idx_log_parts where parent_index in ( select id from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null)
    delete from rout_idx_log_parts where parent_index in ( select id from ROUT_INDEX where est_start is null)

    select * from srch_sync_task where srch_project_id = '1900001'
    delete from srch_sync_task where srch_project_id = '1900001'

    select * from srch_env_p_m where srch_project_id = '1900001'
    delete from srch_env_p_m where srch_project_id = '1900001'

    select * from srch_sync_task_def where srch_project_id = '1900001'
    delete from srch_sync_task_def where srch_project_id = '1900001'

    select * from srch_css_id_to_targ_ids where srch_project_id = '1900001'
    delete from srch_css_id_to_targ_ids where srch_project_id = '1900001'

    select * from srch_project where id = '1900001'
    delete from srch_project where id = '1900001'

    select * from srch_project_custom_ds
    delete from srch_project_custom_ds where srch_project_id = '1900001'

    select * from srch_project_custom_dsm
    delete from srch_project_custom_dsm where srch_project_id = '1900001'

    select * from rout_host
    delete from rout_host

    select * from rout_env
    delete from rout_env

    -- To delete and invalid search index to clean up:

    select * from rout_dep_hist where new_index = 2100001
    delete from rout_dep_hist where new_index = 2100001

    select * from rout_idx_log_parts where parent_index =2100001
    delete from rout_idx_log_parts where parent_index =2100001

    select * from rout_phys_part_m where phys_part_id =2100001
    delete from rout_phys_part_m where phys_part_id =2100001

    select * from rout_log_part where parent_index = 2100001
    DELETE from rout_log_part where parent_index = 2100001

    select * from rout_part where id =2100001
    delete from rout_part where id =2100001

    select * from rout_index where id =2100001
    delete from rout_index where id =2100001

Income Tax process and e-filing

http://financeminister.in/income_tax_calculator.php https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in Below I am listing the step-by-step activities of the Tax Process that a working professional need to do in a given Financial Year. Here FY refers to Financial Year  and  AY refers to Assesment Year. Each month we will pay the Tax (From APRIL 20xx to MARCH 20xx+1) through our Employer for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1. In the month April 20xx, we will give the investment details to the employer (in our employer specified portal) for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1. In the month January 20xx+1, we will give the investment proof details , Rent receipts… to the Employer Finance Department for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1. In the month MAY/JUNE 20xx+1, employer gives the Form 16 for the FY 20xx – 20xx+1 to us (The proof given by the employer to the employee for the tax paid by the employee). In the month July 20xx+1 (on or before July 31st of every year), we will fill the ITR forms (earlier it was NayaSaral f...

ATG CA - different activity sources used @ BCC

Read about how a new link can be added in BCC home page @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/03/atg-ca-bcc-home-screen-how-to-add-new.html Normally an ActivitySource.properties file define the set of actions that it supports under a genericActivityDefinitionFile. But some ActivitySource.properties  define the actions  using the workflowActivityDefinitionFiles. For example consider the default "Content Administration" ,  "SearchAdministration",  " Merchanding "  and "Personalization" options in BCC homepage. Below I listed the ActivitySource.properties and other properties for these links. To get all these activitysource names, just take the / atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager  component @ dyn/admin. Content Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/activity/PublishingActivitySource genericActivityDefinitionFile Search Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/...

IFSC and MICR code

For internet banking third party transfer you might need the IFSC or MICR code. IFSC or Indian Financial System Code is an alpha-numeric code that uniquely identifies a bank-branch participating in the NEFT system. MICR or Magnetic Ink Character Recognition is a character recognition technology used primarily by the banking industry to facilitate the processing of cheques. Please find below some useful links to get the IFSC and MICR code for a bank branch: http://rbi.org.in/scripts/neft.aspx http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/content/docs/67440.xls http://bankifsccode.com/ http://banks-india.com/ifsc-code.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Financial_System_Code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_ink_character_recognition

ATG Search architectural flow : Search and Index

I would like to explain the high level ATG Search implementation architecture ( for an online store) through the above diagram. In this diagram 1.x denotes the search functionality and 2.x denotes the indexing functionality. I have given JBoss as the application server. Physical Boxes and Application Servers in the diagram ( as recommended by ATG )  : Estore ( Commerce ) Box --> The box with the estore/site ear (with the site JSPs and Java codes). Search Engine Box --> The box with the search engine application running. Indexing Engine Box --> The box with the indexing engine application running. CA (Content Administration) Box --> The box with the ATG CA ear ( where we could take CA -BCC - Search Administration and configure the search projects) . Search Indexer Box --> The box with the ATG Search Index ear ( to fetch the index data from repository). Note that the engine performing indexing will need access ...
