Hello,

Can you please advise if it is possible to query via the RAM (7.5.1.2) Java API to find assets by:

- Short Description  AND

- Version

I have created the following, however it appears this is using the long description, not the short description: 

   RAMAssetQueryBuilder queryString = new RAMAssetQueryBuilder(session);

   queryString.addQueryField(queryString.QUERY_FIELD_DESCRIPTION, assetShortDescription);
   queryString.addQueryField(queryString.QUERY_FIELD_VERSION, assetVersion);
      
   SearchResult searchResult = session.getAssets(queryString);
   RAMAsset[] assetResults = (RAMAsset[])searchResult.getAssets(); 
       

I couldnt see anything obvious to do this at the following locations:

Thanks!

It's not documented, but here's the code to search the short description. 

import com.ibm.ram.client.RAMAssetQueryBuilder;
import com.ibm.ram.client.RAMSession;
import com.ibm.ram.common.data.AssetSearchResult;
import com.ibm.ram.common.data.SearchResult;
public class ClientTestSearch {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    RAMSession session = null; 
    try { 
      session = new RAMSession("https://vhost0016.site1.compute.ihost.com/ram", "connie", "connie");                   
      RAMAssetQueryBuilder queryString = new RAMAssetQueryBuilder(session);  
      queryString.addQueryField("shortDescription", "Example of an IBM Workload Deployer Script");
      queryString.addQueryField(queryString.QUERY_FIELD_VERSION, "1.0"); 
      SearchResult searchResult = session.getAssets(queryString);
      AssetSearchResult[] assets = searchResult.getAssetSearchResults();
      for(AssetSearchResult asset : assets) {
        System.out.println(asset.getAsset().getName()); 
      }
    } finally {
      if(session != null) {
        session.release(); 
      }
    }
  }
}

Hi Sheehan,

Can we publish this search strng to RAM Java document as well? Thanks!

It's too late to add this to the documentation for the 7.5.2 release, but you can open an enhancement for a future release.

Hi Angela.
The query for short description are : AssetManager.QUERY_SHORT_DESCRIPTION  and IndexConfigImpl.ASSET_SHORT_DESCRIPTION . But those two classes cannot be put into RAMSession.getAsset(SearchQuery query). And the SearchQuery class and its subclasses don't support the shot description query.  I think there is no way to do that search with JAVA API

Currently this is an internal field. But the search string for this is "_shortDescription_". See if that works.
