Pagination of transaction responses
The Pagination feature improves the performance and usability of InfoSphere® MDM Search and GetAll transactions.
Pagination enables you to retrieve a set of records from the repository, and then view the result set page-by-page in a series of subsets instead of all at once. If a result set for a getAllContracts transaction includes 492 records, the Pagination feature enables you to view, for example, 25 records at a time. To use this feature, the search query request must include a start index and an end index that define the range of retrieved records.
For each Search and GetAll transaction that supports it, the Pagination feature is optional.
Transaction behavior with the Pagination feature
- pageStartIndex
- pageEndIndex
- returnAvailableResultCount
Optionally, if the returnAvailableResultCount element is set to "true" in the request, the response returns the total number of records in the repository that match the search results. The default value of returnAvailableResultCount is "false".
