Fetching documents with some specified metadata value

[bichi59]

Hi Alfresco-techies,

i am new to Alfresco. Hence my query may seem to be very basic.
My requirement is to fetch all the documents in a specific alfresco space ( and subspaces) whose metadata value satisfies certain desired value. ex. if document has documnetCreatedFor metadata/attribute and we want to retrieve the documents with documnetCreatedFor value as "Reference-Doc".

Can you let me know the process and query details ?

This is an example of a lucene query that achieves what you want starting in space "company home", this one is written for the javascripting environment:

var nodes = search.luceneSearch("+PATH:\"/app:company_home//*\" +@my\\:documentCreatedFor:\"Reference-Doc\"");
for each(var node in nodes) {
  logger.log(node.name + " (" + node.typeShort + "): ");
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍

You have to replace the short namespace with your dito (the "my").

The "//*" in the end of the Path expression instructs lucene to also look in subspaces. You should probably include a +ASPECT or +TYPE as well to reduce the search base.
