need help to search documents of specified object type not any sub type documents

Hi all,

I am using structured query with search service.I am passing object type to method setObjectType(objecttype) to search only specific object type.for eg. if i use setObjectType("dm_document") the search service should only search documents of dm_document not any sub type documents.but when i used above method it also searches documents of sub type of dm_document.I need to search only the documents of specified type.

Any help

Regards,

The search service should look for "dm_document" and all subtypes of "dm_document". That's how types work in Documentum, they are hierarchical. If you want to search by a specific object type, then use the r_object_type attribute in your search (i.e. "r_object_type = 'dm_document'").

Also, Karthick, you should mark these as questions and then mark the responses as Helpful or Correct Answers.

I am using setObjectType(objectType) method.i am getting objectType as dm_document or any other type or sub type of dm_document based on user selection.

how do i pass like q.setObjectType("r_object_type='dm_document'").It can work only in query after where clause.

That is correct, you have to specify it in the WHERE clause of a query. In DFS, you have to use the PropertyExpression object, which is added to the ExpressionSet object, which is set on the StructuredQuery. The PropertyExpression would look like:

PropertyExpression expression = new PropertyExpression();

SimpleValue propertyValue = new SimpleValue();

propertyValue.setValue("dm_document");

expression.setProperty("r_object_type");

expression.setValue(propertyValue);

expression.setCondition(Condition.EQUAL);
