BI Search of Indexed Dimension Elements that Form Data Slices: the GetSearch Operation

Below is the example of using the GetSearch operation for BI search of indexed dimension elements. The request contains text for search, the response contains information about the data slices based on the found dimension elements.

SOAP request:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

</tMb>

<text>Russia</text>

<sourceMeta>false</sourceMeta>

<factorKeys>false</factorKeys>

</pattern>

</GetSourceDataArg>

</tArg>

</GetSearch>

</s:Body>

</s:Envelope>

SOAP response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<soapenv:Body>

<its>

<it>

<time>

</time>

</it>

</its>

</GetSourceDataResult>

</GetSearchResult>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>
