Hi Dave,

We want to do a review and audit of our content to get a better handle on it.

From what you say, it sounds like this may be better implemented as a request to RWS Support so I will reach out to them.

Thanks for your feedback,

Ann

You can also search by date using IshRemote which avoids searching the whole repository at once. Borrowing some of Dave's code, the following will count objects created during December 2023 a day at a time. If you know when the earliest objects were created you can start there and work forward to today. Still takes a while but I've found it avoids issues with folder searches where they run for ages and then crash without telling you exactly why or where.

$imageCount=0
$xmlCount=0
$endDate = [datetime]::parse("31/12/2023")
$startDate = [datetime]::parse("01/12/2023")
for($i = $startDate; $i -le $endDate; $i = $i.AddDays(1))
{
    $searchDate=$i.ToString("d/MM/yyyy")
    write $searchDate
    $metafilter = Set-IshMetadataFilterField -Level Logical -Name CREATED-ON -FilterOperator Equal -Value $searchDate
    $Objs=Find-IshDocumentObj -MetadataFilter $metafilter |
        ForEach-Object -Process { 
          if ($_.IshType -in @("ISHIllustration")) { ++$imageCount }
          if ($_.IshType -in @("ISHModule", "ISHMasterDoc", "ISHLibrary")) { ++$xmlCount }
        }
}
Write-Host ("imageCount["+$imageCount+"]")
Write-Host ("xmlCount["+$xmlCount+"]")

Thanks for that Barra, I have it running now.
