programmatically search for Requirements

[ngong]

I can manually search for Requirements in the Find in Project dialog of EA by selecting Requirements and Requirements in the first two fields an leave the third one empty. Then I get all requirements (gt 6000 in my case).

If I am entering

set rqs=Repository.GetElementsByQuery("Requirements","Requirements")

in a script I get a collection size of just above 200.

Where does the difference come from and what is the easiest way in VBScript to get a collection of all?

Probably a

Code: [Select]

Repository.GetElementSet("SELECT * FROM t_object WHERE object_type='Requirement'", 2)should do it.

There's no parameter for the category in GetElementsByQuery. So the equivalent of your GUI search would be:

Code: [Select]

set rqs=Repository.GetElementsByQuery("Requirements","")Which means that you're going to get the same result as qwerty's suggestion. Although that also has the advantage that you're not going to be impacted by a change in the search definition or a new search named 'Requirements'.
