通过内置属性代码搜索主数据服务成员

Question

I can search member by EntityMembersGetCriteria where SearchTerm containing expressions for custom attributes for exampel SAP Code = 'abc' .

var criteria = new EntityMembersGetCriteria
        {
            ModelId = new Identifier { Name = Model },
            EntityId = new Identifier { Name = Entity },
            VersionId = new Identifier { Name = Version },
            SearchTerm = searchTerm,
            MemberType = MemberType.Leaf,
            MemberReturnOption = MemberReturnOption.DataAndCounts
        };

However it does work with Code='xyz' .

Any idea pls?

Answer 1

SearchTerm sets WHERE clause search criteria to filter records. That means it is needed to put exactly the same names as it is stored in the MDS DB .

The point is that the user defined attributes (UDA) have special names in MDS DB .

Every UDA attributes is stored in the following format: uda_{Entity.InternalId}_{Attribute.InternalId} , for example uda_2012_45231. In case of Entity.InternalId = 2021 and Attribute.InternalId = 45231.

So you have write into SearchTerm:

"uda_2012_45231 = 'abc'"

PS: You can find the values of the Entity and Attribute InternalIds within MetadataGet method .

UPDATE : It seems that UDA attributes do not work within SearchTerm at all. "Name", "Code", "EnterDTM" ( CreatedDateTime ) and "LastChgDTM" ( UpdatedDateTime ) are working, but the UDA are not.
