Hi Manisha,

use something like this as URL in your XML query:

http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Catalog?mode=ListFolders&Folder=<folder>&Content-type=text/xml

or

http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Service=FileSystemBrowser&Mode=DirectoryList&Folder=<folder>&Content-type=text/xml

Hi Michael,

it is long time ago that we were in touch. Short information to your suggestion. Using server:// instead the

http://<server>:<port>; it is more flexible and you not need to modify the URL in the XMLQuery, when you

transport from Dev to QA or Prd.

server://XMII/Catalog?mode=ListFolders&Folder=<folder>&Content-type=text/xml

Hi Pedro,

yes, long time no see

Thanks for reminding me of the server://. I think this does not work if you are using the BLT in a scheduled job, however it is quite useful to avoid to change sources as you described.

Hope you're ok!

Hi Pedro,

Thank you.I am getting parent folders only by using this in xml query:

server://XMII/Catalog?Mode=ListFolders&Content-type=text/xml

But I want Child folders path.How to do this?

So that I can pass folder path in BLS to get the list of queries.

Thanks in advance.

Manisha,

use the Illuminator service FileSystemBrowser to get all folders and subfolders. To get the files inside a folder use service FileSystemBrowser with mode FileList.

Hope this helps

Hi Michael,

I tried this:

http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Service=FileSystemBrowser&Mode=DirectoryList&Folder=<folder>...

But it is throwing the error msg as "Loaded content is empty".

Thanks,

Manisha,

which MII version are you using? Is the folder name correct? Do you get a response if you enter the URL in the browser directly?
