public function FindItems(

    BooleanOperator : BooleanOperatorEnum, 
    Conditions : SearchCondition[]
) : CatalogItem[]

Parameters

  • Folder
    Type: System.String
    The fully qualified URL of the folder to search. To search the entire report server database, specify the root folder (/).
  • BooleanOperator
    Type: ReportService2005.BooleanOperatorEnum
    The logical operator that is applied to connect the search conditions. Possible values are AND and OR. The default value is AND.

Return Value

Type: array<ReportService2005.CatalogItem[]
An array of CatalogItem objects in the report server database that correspond to the specified search criteria.

Remarks

The length of the Folder parameter cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemLengthExceeded.

The Folder parameter cannot be null or empty or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.

The report server does not support wildcard characters in the middle of the search condition. Wildcard characters include %, _, [, ], ^, and -. If a wildcard character is present, the report server treats the character literally.

Only one instance of a property name can be supplied in the set of search conditions.

The search functionality of FindItems is case-insensitive.

Applications that use FindItems typically accept user input for specific properties and property values. The searchable properties are Name, Description, CreatedBy, CreationDate, ModifiedBy, and ModifiedDate. The items that are returned are only those for which a user has Read Properties permission.

Examples

To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example searches the report server database for all reports whose names contain the word "Sales":
