Sort Hierarchy with Java API

[former_member207329]

Hi Mdm guru,

I have to sort the getHierarchy results.

In the MDM Data Manager is possible "Sort Entire Branch" (in the context menu).

My question: there is a method in the Java Api for this funtionality?

Best Regards

Hi Rocco,

It depends upon <i>which</i> API you are using. The API <b>mdm4j</b> has a function

CatalogData.GetChildren()

which has a parameter for defining the sort field. So you can create your own recursive function which drills down through a hierarchy, creating each level sorted.

The class <b>SortDefinition</b> belongs to the "new" API <b>MDMJavaAPI</b>, but at present I do not see a way of gettting a sorted hierarchy with this API.

Hi Rocco,

Hope this helps you.

java.lang.Object

com.sap.mdm.data.SortDefinition

public class SortDefinition

extends java.lang.Object

This class includes information how the records retrieved from repository should be sorted in result set.
