  • 1.  Problems with retrieving the child objects with the REST API

    Posted 07-08-2022 16:00

    Hello all,

    Trying to query child objects using REST in MXLoader. The parent object is JOBPLAN and the Child object is DOCLINKS. My query in MXLoader is JPNUM="J1013". This returns the parent object, but none of the child object attributes which are detailed in below screenshot. The highlighted column shows the Parent object, with the relationship name and operator. We also tried RELATIONSHIP NAME and OPERATOR and no result DOCLINKS{ADDINFO}

    If we use OS and Native authentication the results are returned for the child object.

    Hey Colin,

    Try removing "JOBPLAN." from JOBPLAN.DOCLINKS.DOCINFO. From my understanding of MxLoader, the relationship includes cell B1 which is the parent object.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt, thanks for your quick response. I've been working with Colin on this as well and we did try both options. We included the parent object and we also tried by not having the parent object. 

    JOBPLAN.DOCLINKS.ADDINFO AND DOCLINKS.ADDINFO

    Hi Colin,

    It does work.  I've replicated using the REST API, see my screenshots.  Whenever dealing with child objects do not include the parent object.  The format is <relationship name>.<attributename>. 

    Could the be something wrong with the relationship query.  If in doubt run the query like in the case:

    Select * from doclinks where <relationship query>;
