GraphQL API parity issue. Need to allow more complex SQL queries

GraphQL API inner join query not returning all properties

GraphQL Parity with Java API Problem Description

Doing more complex SQL like a simple inner join query via the GraphQL API does not return information for properties that exist in the class to the right of the inner join. This functionality works in the Java APIs The query works but the properties in the list are being returned only for the first class identified in the inner join.

Example PSUEDO json

{

documents(

repositoryIdentifier: "OS2"

from: " TestFileClass c INNER JOIN TestBoxClass b ON c.BoxNumber=b.BoxNumber"

where: " (c.TestFileNumber ='11GRE32') AND (b.Category ='ROOM12') AND (b.Facility ='74388')"

pageSize: 20

) {

documents {

id

name

properties(

includes: ["TestFileNumber", "RequestorAlias", "ItemStatus", "ReviewName", "ShippingTrackingNumber", "RequestedDate", "CheckOutDate", "NotInStorage", "PreviousLocation", "BoxNumber", "RetentionID", "State", "MultipleLocations", "Facility", "Location", "Category"]

) {

id

label

value

}

}

pageInfo {

token

}

}

}

 

The properties up to “State” will return information as they are on the TestFileClass. The remaining 5 properties are in the TestBoxClass table and are ignored in the output. We have tried prefixing these with c. and b.. That causes all properties to be left out of the output. The pseudo sql that we used currently in the Java APIs is below. It does allow property values to be returned from both classes. (Not the following PSuedo SQL works fine in ACCE, NAV and in the original Java API's. Partially works in GraphQL. We need functional parity.

 

SELECT c.Id, c.TestFileNumber, c.RequestorAlias, c.ItemStatus, c.ReviewName, c.ShippingTrackingNumber, c.RequestedDate, c.CheckOutDate, c.NotInStorage, c.PreviousLocation, c.BoxNumber, c.RetentionID, b.State, b.MultipleLocations, b.Facility, b.Location, b.Category FROM TestFileClass c INNER JOIN TestBoxClass b ON c.BoxNumber=b.BoxNumber WHERE (c.TestFileNumber ='test') AND (b.Category =‘test’) AND (b.Facility =’test’)

    Had to recreate this as a public issue.  Would be nice to be able to toggle this from internal to external from the Web site...
