    • Method Detail

      • getLimit

        Integer getLimit()
        Gets the maximum number of instances to return in a single response.
        Returns:
        the limit value for pagination, or null if not set (uses server default)

      • setLimit

        void setLimit​(Integer limit)
        Sets the maximum number of instances to return in a single response. Used for pagination to control response size and manage memory usage.
        • Default value: Server configuration dependent
        • Example: Set to 50 to get at most 50 instances per request
        • Unlimited results: Set to UNBOUNDED_LIMIT (-1) for unlimited results (may cause timeout if results are too many)
        • Query parameter: limit
        Parameters:
        limit - Maximum number of instances to return, or UNBOUNDED_LIMIT for unlimited results

      • getOffset

        Integer getOffset()
        Gets the number of instances to skip from the beginning of the result set.
        Returns:
        the offset value for pagination, or null if not set (defaults to 0)

      • setOffset

        void setOffset​(Integer offset)
        Sets the number of instances to skip from the beginning of the result set. Used for pagination to navigate through large result sets.
        • Default value: 0
        • Example: Set to 10 to skip the first 10 instances (useful for pagination)
        • Query parameter: offset
        Parameters:
        offset - Number of instances to skip from the beginning

      • includeMeta

        boolean includeMeta()
        Checks whether to include metadata in the response instance.
        Returns:
        true if metadata should be included, false for basic information only

      • setIncludeMeta

        void setIncludeMeta​(boolean includeMeta)
        Sets whether to include metadata in the response instance. Controls whether to include Metadata in the response.
        • Default value: false (basic information only)
        • Values:
        • true: includes metadata with role-based filtering
        • false: basic information only
        • Query parameter: includeMeta
        Authorization Restriction:
        • IS-Manager, Infrastructure-Manager, and Context-Manager: See complete metadata including sensitive information (createdBy, lastUpdatedBy)
        • Other users: See filtered metadata with sensitive fields obfuscated
        Parameters:
        includeMeta - Whether to include metadata in the response instance

      • allMeta

        boolean allMeta()
        Checks whether to include metadata for all nested instances in the response.
        Returns:
        true if metadata should be included for all nested elements, false for main instance only

      • setAllMeta

        void setAllMeta​(boolean allMeta)
        Sets whether to include metadata for all nested instances (ConsistsOf relations, Facets, etc.) in the response. Controls whether to include Metadata in all IdentifiableElement or just in the root instance. Must be used in conjunction with includeMeta=true.
        • Default value: false (metadata only for main instance, more human-readable)
        • Values:
        • true: complete metadata for all nested IdentifiableElement instances
        • false: metadata only in the root instance, more readable
        • Purpose: When false, produces more human-readable responses with less JSON to process
        • Query parameter: allMeta
        Parameters:
        allMeta - Whether to include metadata for all nested instances in the response

      • isHierarchicalMode

      • setHierarchicalMode

        void setHierarchicalMode​(boolean hierarchicalMode)
