Documents fetch and search issue using XML Search API(Content server 20.4)

shamli

Hi Experts,

We are having below issues while performing full text search

using XML search API.

Can you please help us in this.

• Getting permission related error while clicking on documents hyperlink after searching it through XML Search API and using func=doc.fetch in the URL.

http://<server_name>/otcs/cs.exe/<xxxxx>/<filename>?func=doc.fetch&nodeid=<xxxxx>

• Search result changes intermittently while performing XML Search using below URL. We are trying to search for a word "test" under one particular folder. But the search result has documents and folders from other folder as well even after specifying particular folder node ID in search URL.

http://<server_name>otcs/cs.exe?func=search&objId=<xxxx(folder to be searched)>&where1=<test>&outputformat=xml

Regards,

Shamli

@shamli You've not provided any detail on what you are doing with the XML Search Results to transform them for the user, so I am guessing as to whats happening.

I am not sure why you have a long URL "http://<server_name>/otcs/cs.exe/<xxxxx>/<filename>?func=doc.fetch&nodeid=<xxxxx>" for fetch, you can just use :

http://<server_name>/otcs/cs.exe?func=doc.fetch&nodeid=<xxxxx>

Can you provide the details of the "error" you are seeing, the logs may also give you a suggestion as to the root cause.

For your second question the OBJID is not the correct parameter to use for filtering content under a single container, you need to use the LOCATION property in the search query - on another way to identify the records such as metadata/classifications etc.
