Web Services Search API. Cannot find asset.

JimD

Hi. I have this code which suppose to find an asset with a specific filename.
It connects to MediaBin ok. Obtains the MID of the root ok. And search by "name" metadata returns ALL assets in MediaBin.

MBSearchCriteria searchCriteria;
MBSearchConstraint myConstraint1;
String strMetadata1ID;

strMetadata1ID = "{B297C571-F083-11D4-8200-0060080D8AC2}";

myConstraint1 = new MBSearchConstraint();
myConstraint1.setMMetadata(myStub.getMetadata(strMetadata1ID));
myConstraint1.getMMetadata().setMValue(itemName);
myConstraint1.setMBooleanOperator(MBBooleanOperator.NotSet);
myConstraint1.setMSearchOperator("OpExists");

searchCriteria = new MBSearchCriteria();
searchCriteria.setMContainerID(mediaBinRootId);
MBSearchConstraint[] mbsc=new MBSearchConstraint[1];
mbsc[0]=myConstraint1;
ArrayOfMBSearchConstraint ambcon=new ArrayOfMBSearchConstraint(mbsc);
searchCriteria.setMSearchConstraints(ambcon);
searchCriteria.setMMaxHits(1000);
searchCriteria.setMRecursive(true);

ArrayOfMBAsset resultsArray = myStub.search(searchCriteria,false);

The following is VB.NET code that I have working fine. Hope that helps!


 Public Sub SearchAssets(ByVal intArchiveTime As Integer, ByVal strFromContainerID As String, ByVal mMediaBinServer As MediaBinServer)
  Dim objCriteria As New MBSearchCriteria
  objCriteria.mContainerID = strFromContainerID
  objCriteria.mAssetID = ""
  objCriteria.mRecursive = True
  objCriteria.mMaxHits = Integer.MaxValue

  Dim objMetadata As New MBMetadata
  objMetadata.mName = "Insertion Time"
  objMetadata.mID = "{5BE195E7-0726-11D3-9DDE-0060081F836F}"
  objMetadata.mValue = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-intArchiveTime)

  Dim objConstraint() As MBSearchConstraint = Nothing
  ReDim objConstraint(0)
  objConstraint(0) = New MBSearchConstraint()
  objConstraint(0).mMetadata = objMetadata
  objConstraint(0).mSearchOperator = "GreaterThan"
  objConstraint(0).mBooleanOperator = MBBooleanOperator.NotSet

  objCriteria.mSearchConstraints = objConstraint

  Dim objAssets() As MBAsset = Nothing
  Dim intCount As Integer = 0
  Dim strAssetName As String = ""
  Dim strAssetID As String = ""
  Dim strAssetPath As String = ""

  objAssets = mMediaBinServer.Search(objCriteria, False)

 End Sub

Hi Jim,

Are you accessing the web services with Java or .NET. I don't think that the API is different however, the code you posted refers to method calls that do not exist. For example,

myConstraint1.setMMetadata <-- This doesn't exist. Here is c# code using a "Quick Search" for file name.

If you do not have the Quick Search feature enabled on your server, you need to change the metadataAsset.mID to a metadata value you want to search on such as "Name." Additionally, you'll have to modify the Constraint object to use the correct search operator since "contains" may not be an option for the "Name" metadata field.
MBAsset[] searchResults = null;

const String MediaBin_MetaData_QuickSearch = "{F24FC776-00D2-4ED7-ADA3-9D5288B149A3}";

//Create search critera and add metadata by passing the value for "Name" Metadata

MBSearchCriteria criteria = new MBSearchCriteria();

criteria.mContainerID = containerID;

criteria.mAssetID = null;

criteria.mRecursive = true;

criteria.mMaxHits = recordCount; // Convert.ToInt32(OptionsMaxRowsDropDownList.SelectedItem.Text);

MBMetadata metadataAsset = new MBMetadata();

metadataAsset.mName = "Quick Search";

metadataAsset.mID = MediaBin_MetaData_QuickSearch;

metadataAsset.mValue = value;

//Create search constraint assinging the above metadata values and

// set a SearchOperator with options present and set the

//boolean oprator to Not Set

MBSearchConstraint[] constraint = new MBSearchConstraint[1];

constraint[0] = new MBSearchConstraint();

constraint[0].mMetadata = metadataAsset;

constraint[0].mSearchOperator = "Contains";

constraint[0].mBooleanOperator = MBBooleanOperator.NotSet;

criteria.mSearchConstraints = constraint;

// Perform the search

searchResults = _mediaBinServer.Search(criteria, false);
