Finding the Data Records in a Data Set

Problem

You want to obtain a list of all the previously created Data Records contained within a specific Data Set potentially for use in a Content Creation operation.

Solution

The solution is to create a request using the following URI and method type and submit it to the server via the Data Set Entity REST service:

Get Data Records for Data Set

/rest/serverengine/entity/datasets/{dataSetId}

GET

Example

/* Data Set Entity Service - Get Data Records for Data Set Example */
(function ($, c) {

    $(function () {

        c.setupExample();

        $("form").on("submit", function (event) {

            event.preventDefault();
            if (!c.checkSessionValid()) return;

            var dataSetId = $("#dataset").val();

            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url:  "/rest/serverengine/entity/datasets/" + dataSetId
            })
                .done(function (response) {
                    c.displayStatus("Request Successful");
                    c.displayHeading("Data Record IDs for Data Set '" + dataSetId + "'");
                    c.displaySubResult("Plain", c.jsonIDListToPlain(response));
                    c.displaySubResult("JSON Identifier List", c.jsonPrettyPrint(response));
                })
