ListGroups ?

Hi,

I can't seem to find a ListGroups call in the Member Services. I see ListMembers and GetGroupByName. How do I get a list of all Groups in CS10.

thanks,

Wes.

The SQL for that which you can do as a live report

Select name from kuaf where deleted=0 and type=0

If the thing you are looking for is not

Exposed via WS that is an alternative

If you are new to LR's just look at canned ones

The MemberService's function searchForMembers expects a SearchFilter--this one allows to specify what member type(s) the search should consider ("User", "Group", or "Any" i.e. both: user and group).

Carsten_Kulms

And: If you use MemberService.listMembers to list the members of a particular group then the result can contain both users and groups as a group can contain groups.

I believe the issue with ListMembers is that it can not list all sub-groups/users in the system as you have to supply the call with a GroupId.

I realize this is an old thread, but I don't believe Wesley's question was answered and I have the same question.

How do you query a list of the groups in Content Server through the Content Web Services API?

I'm not looking for a way to query groups which are members of another group or the groups of which a user is a member; I need to be able to query a list of groups defined in Content Server regardless of membership. Ideally I would like to query using some criteria, e.g. 'A*' to get all groups whose names begin with the letter 'A' (think of querying for groups from the 'Users & Groups' tab of the Content Server Enterprise Workspace).

Any help would be appreciated.

Since it was said any help would be appreciated...
In case Carsten Kulms offer is not taken and it cannot be understood in pure webservices ways

One of these days I will try the searchoptions

Are you familiar with creating Live Reports in livelink.The query to find groups is
Select name from kuaf where deleted=0 and type=1
the above will print the name of all the groups in livelink.
Now if you needed to wildcard it
Select name,id,mailaddress from kuaf where deleted=0 and type=1 and name like '%A'
note % is * to a database
If you need to parametrize it basically as a B or a C
one would create an input parameter of string to the query
Select name from kuaf where deleted=0 and type=1 and name like '%%%1%%'
%1 being the first bind param to the query and is the wildcard note you have to do a bunch of escape sequences because the underlying DB has to get the like clause wild card and it has to receive the params as in 'A' ,'B'

In the LR forum there are a bunch of tricks to use escapes on wildcards what I put there could be syntactically wrong. If you do get LR's to work the way you want search in this forum for examples,caveats on executing a LR using WebServicesbut please do try it with the livelink on a browser rather than just reading javadocs.I have a feeling that you know your way with the webgui but a LR is a protected item so many livelink orgs will not allow

I was able to run parametrized LR's with webservices successfully.Jason Smith and also me posted some C# samples,I even converted them to java language as well I have even shown how the setup of the LR is as in screen caps.

if you do go this route and you are able to run LR's and indeed stuck in wildcarding we could help.Do check the OOB method that Carsten says which is there.
