Search Box objects

You can specify Box sources in

synchronization

tasks, mappings, and

mapping

tasks to search Box objects.

To search objects to Box, perform the following tasks:

Specify the search criteria in the

URI Request Parameters

field when you create the Box connection.

To configure the

synchronization

task or

mapping to search Box objects, perform the following tasks:

Specify a Box connection as the source connection and enter

Entities

as the source object.

Select

Insert

as the target task operation.

Specify a target transformation to write the search results.

When you specify

Entities

as the source object, the Secure Agent searches all objects in the root folder on the Secure Agent machine based on the URI request parameters you specify in the Box connections.

Specify the search string in the

URI Request Parameters

field using the following syntax:

query=search_string;content_types=<name|description|file_content|comments|tags;limit=<number>;offset=<number>

For example, use the following parameters to search a Box object:

query="employee";content_types=name;limit=200;offset=0

The following table describes the

URI Request Parameters

field options:

Options	Description
Query	Searches the Box objects based on the word or phrase you specify. When you specify a phrase, verify that you enclose the phrase in single quote.
content_types	Specifies the scope of the search. You can use one of the following values: Name - Searches based on the names of Box objects. Description - Searches based on the description associated with Box objects. File_content - Searches based on contents in the Box objects. Comments - Searches based on comments associated with Box objects. Tags - Searches based on tags associated with Box objects.
limit	Limits the number of search results that the Secure Agent writes to the target.
offset	Offsets the search results based on the specified offset value. For example, if you specify the offset value as 12, the Secure Agent ignores the first 11 rows in the search results and writes the results from the 12th row.
