SearchLookupValues request searches for lookup values that match a given lookup display name (lookup code description).
This request is typically used with foreign key columns that have a large number of possible values. The request includes a lookup column, a lookup display value to search for, and a comparison operator. It also includes a record whose fields contain the lookup information. In each field, the name is the lookup (foreign key) value, and the value is the lookup display name. For detailed information on configuring relationships and lookups in the MDM Hub, see the
Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
.
This request allows search criteria to be specified on the lookup display name compared to
GetLookupValues which retrieves all lookup values for a lookup column.
A system parameter determines the maximum number of records that can be returned. Use
GetSearchResults to get subsequent sets of records.
