How to query All Types of document from Alfresco repository using CMIS

Question

I have Multiple Custom content types, and based on individual type i am able to query documents. But my requirement is i want to get all types of document.

I wrote query select * from hr:hrdoctype, Because my hr:hrdoctype is my parent type for all other types. But its not working.

But if i will write select * from hr:hrReimbursment, This is working fine.

So how can i get all All Custom types of documents with single parent type or with single condition. Please see the Below configuration.

in this case if i will use specific content type then its working fine. but i want to get all type of document using single query.

Please help me how can i write CMIS Query for this requirement.

Share-config-custom.xml:-

                <type name="cm:content">
                   <subtype name="hr:hrdoctype" />
                </type>

                <type name="hr:hrdoctype">

            </type>

Custom-content-model.xml:-

     <types>
         <type name="hr:hrdoctype">
            <title>HR Document</title>
            <parent>cm:content</parent>

            <properties>
                <property name="hr:employeeNumber">
                        <title>Employee Number</title>

        </type>

        <type name="hr:hrReimbursment">

                </property> 

                <property name="hr:ReimbursmentDate">
                        <title>Reimbursment Date</title>
                        <type>d:text</type>                         
                </property> 

            </properties>

        </type>

        <type name="hr:hrMISCELLANEOUS">
            <title>MISCELLANEOUS</title>
            <parent>hr:hrdoctype</parent>   

            <properties>
                <property name="hr:DocumentDescription1">
                        <title>Document Description</title>
                        <type>d:text</type>                         
                </property> 

            </properties>

        </type>
</types>

It looks like you've pasted in a snippet of Share configuration. What we need to see is your content model XML to show that each of those types really is a sub-type of hr:hrdoctype. — Jeff Potts, Oct 07 '16 at 13:11
@Jeff Potts I have Edited my question, and added sample snipet of my custom content model. Please check it once. Thanks in advance. — Deepak Talape, Oct 13 '16 at 07:32

I just tested simillar case on my repository.

There are four base CMIS types: cmis:document, cmis:folder, cmis:relationship, cmis:policy. Types cmis:document and cmis:folder must be supported by any repository.

I my case the myc:xyz type inherits from the cmis:folder type.

CMIS query selecting all folders:

select * from cmis:folder where cmis:name='ABCD'

returns folder:

{
    "cmis:objectId": "5b97929c-553b-4494-91cc-2c18e50b2f1c",
    "cmis:objectTypeId": "F:myc:xyz",
    "cmis:baseTypeId": "cmis:folder",
    "cmis:name": "ABCD"
}

CMIS query selecting all myc:xyz folders:

select * from myc:xyz where cmis:name='ABCD'

return the same folder with some myc:xyz type's additional properties:

{
    "cmis:objectId": "5b97929c-553b-4494-91cc-2c18e50b2f1c",
    "cmis:objectTypeId": "F:myc:xyz",
    "cmis:baseTypeId": "cmis:folder",
    "cmis:name": "ABCD",

    "myc:AdditionalProperty1": "1111",
    "myc:AdditionalProperty2": "2222"
}

Hope this helps.

OpenCMIS Client API Developer's Guide

PS. You can test queries with Alfresco CMIS 1.1 "The Browser binding". For example, this is URL for the query select * from cmis:folder where cmis:name='ABCD' (Firefox automatically decoding encoded parameters in URL, it is very comfortable):

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/?cmisselector=query&succinct=true&q=select * from cmis:folder where cmis:name='ABCD'

I wrote the query, select * from cmis:document, But Its giving Some Unnecessary fileslike ftl, xml and js. Here my requirement is, I have 72 custom types of documents. and I want node reference of only those 72 types using Single parent type. — Deepak Talape, Oct 13 '16 at 07:26
Try this one, it should be working: select cmis:name, cmis:objectTypeId, cmis:baseTypeId from hr:hrdoctype — kinjelom, Oct 13 '16 at 10:50
In my Application, After query it returns only first 100 records from repository. So how can i get more than 100 records?? — Deepak Talape, Oct 14 '16 at 10:11
in http request... how do you select nodes? Please ask a separate stackoverflow question and include source code. — kinjelom, Oct 14 '16 at 14:59
