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.
pasFilterLovIdsStringArrayInString array with the element names of the list of values used for filtering
psOutXMLLovListStringOutThe LOV List XML structure containing the metadata of the list of values

Note that:
  • The order of the returned objects in psOutXMLLovList is random.
  • If no filtering is supplied, only public list of values which are not linked with a Content Manager object are returned, blocking all read-only list of values.
  • You can filter on any existing list of values, even system (for example, BOOLEAN) and object (for example, DUSERGROUP, USERNAME) list of values.
  • No exception is thrown when you supply an invalid list of values. The object is just not included in the result.
