Revision history:

Introduced in QPR 8.0

 

Performs a query and returns the results as a string containing XML. Apart from the return value type this function behaves similarly as QueryObjects, so please see the sub-sections of that function listing for more information about the functions and attributes available.

 

Synopsis:

 

string QueryObjectsAsXml (string sessionId, string query, string criteria, string sortBy, string attributes, string options)

 

Return Value:

 

Result set of the query as a string containing XML. If the set contains objects to which the user does not have rights to, only object ID is returned for those.

 

Parameters:

 

sessionId: String. ID of an authenticated session.

query: String. The actual query. See the Query Syntax section for syntax information.

criteria: String.

sortBy: String.

attributes: String. Comma-separated list of attributes that are included in the results.

options: String. Additional options for the query.

 

Example Procedure:

 

ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient("WSHttpBinding_IService");

string sessionId = client.Authenticate("qpr", "demo");

string xmlElement = client.QueryObjectsAsXml(sessionId, "[SC.1].SubObjects", "", "", "", "");

client.LogOff(sessionId);

client.Close();
