Baseline 2.5 GetReport

This topic describes how to get the report information for ALL objects in the specified baseline. The information is retrieved in the requested languages.

GetReport is a combination of GetBaseline followed by ExpandReport for the returned Baseline XML. After executing GetBaseline all objects in the baseline are used as starting points for the ExpandReport method. The logical identifiers in the parameter pasStartResourceLogicalIds are not used as starting points. They are just used to know on which objects the (extra) fallback languages of the parameter pasResourceLanguages should be applied!
