SL_RelatedSearch

Note: This web service is deprecated as of OLSA 2.0.

This function performs a related search. A related search means internally generated keywords associated with the specified asset are used in the search to find related assets. Given an ID for an asset it computes its associated keywords and issues a search using these keywords, returning any related assets. Associated keywords are automatically built from the metadata of the asset.

This web service initiates a search and returns the initial portion of the matching result set. The caller can page through the remainder of the result set by issuing a call to PaginateSearch using the returned searchid value in the result set. The end of the result set is reached when all bins contain zero assets.

The set of assets returned are organized in bins. The assets within a bin return in decreasing relevancy ranking order.This function supports the Simple-user-attributes option of the automatic-user-registration-or-update capability. For more information, see User Registration.

You can extract the nativid or assetid from the book bin and then apply the result to a SignOn, SARMA, or RO launch.
