Defining the data on which an operation acts
The Information Delivery API provides three sets of parameters that define the data on which an operation acts. These parameters are:
*Id or IdList
*Name or NameList
*Search
To use Id, IdList, Name, or NameList, define an operation, such as UpdateUser or DeleteGroup, then list each item the operation affects. Identify items by name or BIRT iHub-generated ID number.
Search supports acting on data that meets a specific condition. Typically, these parameters apply to operations that select, update, move, copy, or delete items. The following sections provide examples of using each set of parameters.
