how to get all topics list in repository based folder ID?

Question

Hi, 
 
 I am trying to write all the topics in a repository in a text file based on the root folder ID. Below is my code 
 
 Import-Module ISHRemote 
 # first authenticate 
 $ishSession = New-IshSession -IshPassword 'xxxx' -IshUserName 'xxxxx' -WsBaseUrl ' xxxxxsdlproducts.com/.../' 
 $folderId = 3222 #use correct folder id 
 $ishObjects = Get-IshFolderContent -IshSession $ishSession -FolderId $folderId | Out-File D:\objectlist.txt 
 
 This is not writing anything, anybody can help me what I am doing wrong here?

Hi Roopesh, 
 
I guess you are trying to request folder content for a folder of the type 'ISHNone' which means that the folder can not contain any object. 
 
You can verify this by outputting the metadata returned by the Get-IshFolder call as shown below. 
 
$metadata = Get-IshFolder -IshSession $ishSession -FolderId $folderId 
 
The resulting object will show your ID and the type of the folder. 
 
----- returned information from my reference environment ----- 
PS C:\Users\rsnijders> $metadata 
 
ishtype ishref 
------- ------ 
ISHNone 3222 
----- END OF returned information from my reference environment ----- 
 
Only folders with a type different from 'ISHNone' might return values in the Get-IshFolderContent call. 
 
Kind Regards, 
 
Raf

If I remember correctly, you are working on a quite big repository, so a single call is out of the question any way. To get you started what about... 
 foreach ($ishFolder in (Get-IshFolder -IshSession $ishSession -BaseFolder Base -Recurse | Where-Object -Property IshFolderType -EQ -Value ISHModule)) { Get-IshFolderLocation -IshSession $ishSession -IshFolder $ishFolder foreach ($ishObject in (Get-IshFolderContent -IshSession $ishSession -IshFolder $ishFolder)) { $ishObject.IshRef } } 
 Please do share your endresult or perhaps via GitHubGist to inspire other people.
