Integration of company search engine and RAM repository using web services
Hello team, We are looking to integrate RAM with our company search engine so that when a user searches for a keyword in our company search engine, it will pull the URL links to the assets in RAM in the search results. To achieve this objective, we are looking to use RAM Web Service. We would like to know if there is any method in the RAM Web Service, that will help us pull all the assets that are stored in RAM.

We had a similar requirement, we used RAM feeds(ATOM) to display in enterprise search results.
We did not find any RAM services for our benefit at that time.

Pramod

Thanks Pramod for your thoughts. Yeah, we also have a similar requirement, where we are trying to get a list of all assets and display them in our enterprise search results. If you have already implemented this, if you don't mind, can you please give us a few pointers which you think will help us ? :)

We use RESTful web services.
In our web services layer, we would read from RAM(using RAM Java API) based on the search key/phrase. From the response we get from RAM we build RSS/ATOM feeds and use that in our CMS.

Feeds is a good option, also URL Reports: (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/ramhelp/v7r5m1/topic/com.ibm.ram.web.doc/topics/c_report_urls.html), and Java API (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/ramhelp/v7r5m1/topic/com.ibm.ram.api.doc/topics/overview-summary.html) ... WebServices are internal API.

Thanks Gili, this helps.
Via feeds, is it possible for a repository administrator to get a list of all assets in the RAM repository. Or will he notified only of those assets that were updated or whose state was changed recently. Please can you let me know?
Thanks much!
From the web, if you do some search ... and click on the atom feed on the top right corner, you will get a feed (URL).... calling it, will list you changes to the assets that are on that search.
