Function

a!cmiGetFolderChildren( scsExternalSystemKey, usePerUserCredentials, atomPubUrl, repositoryId, folderId, pagingInfo )

Retrieves the children of the folder given as the folderId parameter, obeying the given pagingInfo.

Parameters

Returns

The function returns the standard connector result dictionary described in the main Connectors page.

If successful, the result field contains a dictionary representation of the objects within the given folder.

Usage considerations

If called multiple times in the same expression with the same parameters, only one query is made when the expression is evaluated and the result is reused for each identical call. This caching only applies within a single expression evaluation. Return values are not cached in separate expressions, or in separate evaluations of the same expression.

Examples

Copy and paste an example into an Appian Expression Editor to experiment with it.

Get the contents of a folder in CMIS

This example returns an array with the contents of the folder if the query is successful. Otherwise, it returns a message with the error encountered.

Replace the <folderId> text with a valid folder id in CMIS, e.g. workspace://SpacesStore/becc294e-e3df-4c8a-a548-9bbf61a29026.
