public class RepositoryFindEntitiesIterator
extends RepositoryIteratorForEntities

RepositoryFindEntitiesIterator is an iterator class for iteratively retrieving entities based on a search criteria. It is used where the caller needs to filter the results coming from the repository and may need to make more than one call to the repository in order to accumulate the number of requested results. Note this class is intended for a single request's use - it is not thread-safe.

                                      String methodName)

Constructor takes the parameters used to call the repository handler.

Parameters:

repositoryHandler - interface to the open metadata repositories.

userId - user making the request

entityTypeGUID - String unique identifier for the entity type of interest (null means any entity type).

entitySubtypeGUIDs - optional list of the unique identifiers (guids) for subtypes of the entityTypeGUID to include in the search results. Null means all subtypes.

searchProperties - Optional list of entity property conditions to match.

limitResultsByStatus - By default, entities in all statuses are returned. However, it is possible to specify a list of statuses (eg ACTIVE) to restrict the results to. Null means all status values.

searchClassifications - Optional list of entity classifications to match.

asOfTime - Requests a historical query of the entity. Null means return the present values.

sequencingProperty - String name of the entity property that is to be used to sequence the results. Null means do not sequence on a property name (see SequencingOrder).

sequencingOrder - Enum defining how the results should be ordered.

startingFrom - initial position in the stored list.

requesterPageSize - maximum number of definitions to return on this call.

methodName - name of calling method
