Type property (for example Document 4 files) query

keletis

Hy All,

I would like to analyze our vault's size and user's behavior so I need some information.

As one of these I need the Type property, which show how many file content by multiple-document.

There are too much objects in the vault to use desktop client's export function (more than 100.000).

This property was in export file earlier, if I group by ID segment, but now there is not in it.

I thought that, I could query by API, but I don't know how could I identify this property at the script.

Could you help me with any idea?

Thanks in advance

    You asked explicitly about the API.  When you do a search, or perform various other operations, you often get an ObjectVersion instance.  This instance has a "FilesCount" property, which is the value you can see above.

    If you do go down the API route then you may want to consider the segmented searching extension methods from the VAF Extensions library.  Whilst this library is designed to be used from the VAF, it can often be used in other scenarios where you're just using the COM API.  If you can't use the library for some reason (e.g. you're not using dotnet) then the source code to these extension methods are available and could be used to implement your own methods in whatever language or environment you're using.

    With the above all said: the reporting database is definitely the route I would go personally.
