RetrieveAll operation

The RetrieveAll operation returns a container object that contains any number of business graphs. The business graphs represent the objects.

During a RetrieveAll operation, the adapter uses application-specific values to determine the find keys in the component interface. Attribute values are set on the find keys in the component interface, and the adapter fetches all the objects that satisfy the search criteria. Once the objects are retrieved, the adapter creates a container business object instance. The adapter then adds the business graphs representing the records retrieved from the enterprise information system to the container business object.

The following limitations apply to a RetrieveAll operation:

When performing a RetrieveAll operation, the adapter uses wild-card searching, so the results are not exact. For example, if the FindKey attribute value is set as ā€œGā€, the adapter retrieves all objects having the corresponding attribute starting with ā€œGā€. If none of the FindKey attributes have any values set, the adapter retrieves all the records for the component subject to the maximum limitations.
