Hi Ken,

The limit you hit is a hard limit on the amount of search results that will be returned by a Artifactory's queries via Jackrabbit, since large result sets can consume a large amount of system resources. Currently, the REST API searcher which allows limitless search results is the "Created or modified in range" searcher. It's details can be viewed in the REST API wiki <http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory%27s+REST+API> page, under "Searches" -> "Get All Artifacts Created in Date Range". I have also created a JIRA issue for allowing limitless search results from all searchers: RTFACT-2920 <http://issues.jfrog.org/jira/browse/RTFACT-2920>.

Hi Noam,
I tried your suggestions without any luck. Looking back at the results from yesterday I found I was only getting artifacts listed from three of the five local repos, not all the local repos. This is what I saw: Permissions: All browser requests show a non_authenticated_user in the request log. This makes sense according to your statement that REST commands executed from a browser are made anonymously:
20100304165310|1953|REQUEST|xx.xxx.xx.xx|non_authenticated_user|GET|/api/search/artifact|HTTP/1.1|200|0
I tried the browser requests with both anonymous access disabled and enabled (initially anonymous access was disabled with encrypted passwords required, LDAP auth enabled and various permission targets restricting access). With anonymous access enabled, encrypted passwords supported and all permission targets giving the anonymous user read access to the local repos and the sole remote repo, the request returns a list of 501 artifacts from three of the five local repos. No artifacts were listed from the other local repos or the remote repo. Disabling read access to the local repos and rerunning the request returns a list of 44 artifacts from the remote repo. Searching the UI for Group Id of '*' from the remote repo displays 400 matches. The remote repo is to central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2). There are three permission targets that tune access to five local repos depending on the type of user. If only TargetA is set to give the anonymous user read access to three local repos, the request returns a list of 501 artifacts from those three repos. There are 842 artifacts in those three repos. Removing the anonymous user's read access from TargetA and applying it to TargetB that assigns perms for four local repos returns a different list of artifacts but the number of entries in the list from TargetB is the same as the list from TargetA - 501. Is there is a limit to the number of entries returned by a REST request? If so, is there another method that can be used to obtain a complete catalog of everything stored in Artifactory, local repos and remote caches? Regards,
--Ken

Hi Ken

There is no reason for artifacts to be filtered by repository (when no repository is specified in the query) and I can't seem to reproduce the issue you describe. There are a couple of things you can check in order to troubleshoot the problem:

    * Permissions: When normally executing REST commands (from a
      browser, for example), the request is made anonymously. It is
      possible that the "missing" artifacts are filtered for
      permission reasons.
      You can view the the history of HTTP requests made to
      Artifactory via the request.log file
      ($ARTIFACTORY_HOME/logs/request.log) to see the name of the user
      that performed the request.
    * Do the "missing" artifacts appear when searching for them via
      the UI Artifact search?

If the sections described above behave as expected, could you please provide us with specific details like the name of the repository cache, the name of the artifact, the query, etc'?

HTH,
Noam

Hi,

I'm testing some of the Search REST commands from (_http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory%27s+REST+API_) to get a complete list of all artifacts stored in Artifactory. The basic artifact search works (api/search/artifact?name=*) but only lists artifacts stored in the local repos. Is there an option I can use to include the remote repo caches as well?
