Resolution

This article aims to instruct users to enable the search function for custom ReportPacks in EMC M&R 6.5.x and ViPR SRM 3.6.x versions.

EMC M&R will only index report trees for searching if the UID is defined in the "/opt/APG/Tools/Frontend-Search/Default/conf/modules.properties" file under the following field:

# all root nodes UID matching this regex will be indexed. Root nodes without UIDs won't be indexed.
apg.search.index.include.tree=EXPLORE-BRANCH|W4N_SP

By default, "EXPLORE-BRANCH" pertains to the "All > Explore" report tree, and "W4N_SP" pertains to "All > Report Library". New UIDs can be added by appending "|<UID>", for example "|TEST". To add the new reports to the search results, see the instructions below:

Adding the new report tree under the default "Report Library":

By adding the report tree to the "Report Library", the front end search will also index the custom report tree.

Log onto the EMC M&R GUI and click on "Administration" on the top right corner to navigate to the Administration section.

Expand the "ReportPacks" menu item on the left hand menu and expand the newly created ReportPack.

For each report tree to be searched, click the "Hook to Another Node" option on the root report node template.

Select the "directly under node with UID..." option and type in the value "W4N_SP" and save the changes:

Run the "refresh-frontend-search" task.

Searching with a custom report UID:

Log onto the EMC M&R GUI and click "EDIT MODE" to enter edit mode and click on the root report node of the custom report tree.

Under "Filtering & Expansion", click on the anchor icon and enter the UID for the report:

Save the changes to the report and return to "BROWSE MODE".

Click on "Administration" on the top right corner to navigate to the Administration section.

Expand the "ReportPacks" menu item on the left hand menu and expand the newly created ReportPack.

Link each report node in the tree to the newly added UIDs by clicking on "Hook to Another Node" and selecting "directly under node with UID..." and save the changes:

Log onto the EMC M&R Frontend host via SSH/Telnet/PuTTy or similar.

Navigate to the "/opt/APG/Tools/Frontend-Search/Default/conf" directory and edit the "modules.properties" file to append "|<UID>" where "<UID>" pertains to the UID that was created:

# all root nodes UID matching this regex will be indexed. Root nodes without UIDs won't be indexed.

apg.search.index.include.tree=EXPLORE-BRANCH|W4N_SP|TEST

Save the changes and run the "refresh-frontend-search" task.

EMC M&R 6.6/ViPR SRM 3.7 and later versions use a new front end search implementation hence this article does not apply to those versions.
