GetSearchResult GetSearch(MbId tMb, GetSearchArg tArg)
tMb. Moniker of the repository, in which BI search is executed.
tArg. Operation execution parameters.
The GetSearch operation executes BI search in indexed repository objects.
BI search is a full-text search of data by keywords in the structure of multidimensional repository sources.
To enable BI search, a repository must be prepared and set up in the desktop application. For details about repository preparation and object indexation see the Installing and Setting Up BI Search Service subsection.
The GetSearch operation enables the user to send a request and get BI search results. To execute the operation, in the tMb field specify repository connection moniker, and in the tArg field specify search parameters. The repository connection moniker can be obtained on executing the OpenMetabase operation.
Two search options are available:
Search of information about the dimension elements that form data slices. Parameters are set in the tArg.GetSourceDataArg field.
Search by metadata of sources or particular object classes. Parameters are set in the tArg.GetMbObjectsArg field.
The operation results in the appropriate collection containing information about found dimension elements or sources or particular class objects.
Various methods of using this operation are given in the following examples:
| Example name |
| BI Search of Indexed Object Metadata |
| BI Search of Indexed Dimension Elements that Form Data Slices |
