[Rets-dev] Supported Search Formats

[William Smith]

So, how do I determine if the server supports COMPACT, COMPACT-DECODED
or STANDARD-XML?

 

Thanks,

Will

Yes, clear as mud, isn't it?

 

This refers to the SearchType argument of the RETS Search Transaction.
It in turn corresponds to a METADATA-RESOURCE.  The list directly
following that statement in 7.1. are well-known METADATA-RESOURCES.  So,
you would evaluate a server's METADATA-RESOURCES to see what Resources
are available.    Basically this sentence states that a server is
required to have at least one Resource available for performing searches
against.

 

That sentence is probably a good item for clarification by the errata
group.

	In Section 7.1 of the 1.5 specification it is stated:

	"The server MUST support at least one type of search. The types
of searches supported by the server are specified in the metadata."

	 

	What part of the metadata identifies which search formats are
supported?  As a client that integrates with multiple servers, it will
be necessary to identify the supported formats so I use the correct
query.
