Listing managed attribute values

You can list either all managed attribute values, or list only values added for a specific managed attribute with listManagedAttributeValues operation in the Configuration Web Service.

To list which managed attribute values exist in the system:

Issue a request with listManagedAttributeValues, using one of the two options:

To list all managed attribute values, regardless for which managed attribute they are added, use:

<ns:configTransaction>
  <ns:listManagedAttributeValues>
  </ns:listManagedAttributeValues>
</ns:configTransaction>

To list managed attribute values for a specific managed attribute, use:

<ns:configTransaction>
  <ns:listManagedAttributeValues>
    <mdex-dimension_Key>managed_attribute_name</mdex-dimension_Key>
  </ns:listManagedAttributeValues>
</ns:configTransaction>

where mdex-dimension_Key is the name of the DDR for the specific managed attribute.

Example

For example, this request:

<ns:configTransaction>
  <ns:listManagedAttributeValues>
    <mdex-dimension_Key>location</mdex-dimension_Key>
  </ns:listManagedAttributeValues>
</ns:configTransaction>

Returns the following result, listing all managed attribute values for the managed attribute "location":
