Baseline 2.5 ExpandReport

Used to get the report information for the specified logical objects in the given Baseline Report XML. This allows you to get the report information for objects for which you just selected a version, without having to save the baseline.


Parameters

NameTypeDirectionDescription
psAuthContextStringInOutDeprecated proprietary authentication context only used by .ASMX web services based on internal username/password authentication. Claims based security standards drive all the WCF .SVC web services making this parameter redundant.
psBaselineReportStringInA Baseline Report XML structure
pasStartLogicalIdsStringArrayInString array with the logical identifiers which are used as starting points in the baseline reporting methods.
pasStartResourceLogicalIdsStringArrayInString array with the logical identifiers of the resources which are used as (extra) starting points in the baseline reporting methods.
pasLanguagesStringArrayInString array with the languages
pasIllustrationLanguagesStringArrayInString array with the languages used for illustrations
pasResourceLanguagesStringArrayInString array with the languages used for resources.
pasResolutionsStringArrayInString array with the resolutions
psOutXMLBaselineReportStringInOutA Baseline Report XML structure

Requirements are:
  • The user must have read access to all objects used in the baseline
Note that:
  • The parameters pasIllustrationLanguages and pasResourceLanguages contain extra (fallback) languages for the illustrations and the resources.
  • The pasResourceLanguages is not only used for the objects which are specified in the pasStartResourceLogicalIds parameter but also for all objects which are referenced by those objects.
  • When a library is referenced by a resource, the language information is retrieved in all languages which are specified in the parameters pasLanguages and pasResourceLanguages.
  • When an illustration is referenced by a resource, the language information is retrieved in all languages which are specified in the parameters pasLanguages, pasResourceLanguages AND pasIllustrationLanguages.
  • Objects which are present in the baseline but not referenced by one of the starting objects, are not returned in the Baseline Report XML.
  • Objects in the baseline for which the user has no read access are reported as missing.

The algorithm could do:

  • The user selects versions of objects
  • The ExpandReport is then used to get the objects these selected versions link to
  • These referenced objects can be presented to the user in order to select versions for then
  • The user again selects versions of the objects
  • ...
