The Enumeration Endpoint implements the Pull operation, which retrieves the set of objects returned by a query.

Parameters

Action Header

For more information, see WS-Enumeration specification.

Enumeration Context Element

According to the WS-Enumeration specification, an invocation of the Pull operation uses as input whatever was provided as the enumeration context in the response to the corresponding invocation of the Enumerate operation.

MaxElements Element

For more information, see WS-Enumeration specification.

Pull Adjustment Element

As an extension to the WS-Enumeration specification of the Pull operation, clients can use the optional <PullAdjustment> element to specify the index number of the starting data for the current Pull operationand also change the direction in which data items are to be pulled. The structure of the <PullAdjustment> element is defined by the following schema.

  <xs:simpleType name='EnumerationDirectionsType'>
	<xs:restriction

	<xs:enumeration

	</xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:element
	name='PullAdjustment'
	nillable='true'
	type='rm:PullAdjustmentType' />
</xs:schema>

The elements of this structure are described as follows.

Element Description

StartingIndex

The index number of a particular object in a collection of objects that match the query from which to start adding objects to a batch.

EnumerationDirection

The direction in which objects are to be added to the batch.

Forwards: Proceeds through the collection of objects that math the query, from the current object toward the end of the collection.

Backwards: Proceeds through the collection from the current object toward the beginning of the collection.

PullAdjustment

Combines a starting index and an enumeration direction.

Return Value

Action Header

For more information, see WS-Enumeration specification.

Items Element

A successful invocation of the Pull operation will return, as sub-elements to the WS-Enumerate <Items> element, XML representations of the requested objects. The XML representations of the objects may also be structured to comply with any valid extension of that XML Schema.

Example

The following code example shows invoking the Pull operation without using any extensions.
