Listing deleted categories not working about server

[jessp01]

Might be a discrepancy between the operational [MySQL DB] and Sphinx.
Best way to debug this is to check the log and find the queries made to
both Sphinx and DB and then run them manually to see what comes back.

I am using the API to list any deleted categories of a partner using the following code:

$deleteCategoriesFilter = new KalturaCategoryFilter();
$deleteCategoriesFilter->statusIn = KalturaCategoryStatus::DELETED . "," . KalturaCategoryStatus::PURGED;
$deletedCategories = $sourcePartnerClient->category->listAction($deleteCategoriesFilter, null);

I can see in the database in the categories table there are records with status 4 (purged) ... why aren't these records retrieved
by the API?

Thanks

Could you point me toward the logs files and I should be investigating?

You will not be able to extract deleted or purged categories using API calls at all. The reason is that we implement a core-level (Propel) filter which automatically screens out categories with those statuses. The only way to retrieve deleted items is through a Propel-level script which runs against the DB and Sphinx directly without going through the API entry points.

In light of Hila's answer, the investigation of logs is no longer needed
but just for future reference:
The MySQL queries should be in /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_api_v3.log but
worth checking
kaltura_prod.log as well.

For Sphinx, there is the /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_populate.log file and
also, the data is saved in the MySQL kaltura_sphinx_log DB, the
table is sphinx_log

Hi Hilak thank you for your confirmation I indeed was suspecting that there was some sort of hardcoding somewhere. I don't agree with the implementation tho ... the filter in place also screws up get action if one is searching for a deleted categories with the specific ID you get a Category not found exception. Any chance you could point me in the direction where I could find this hard coded filter please?

Hi Jessp01

I am I correct in saying that the sphinx_log DB only hold inset/update/delete operations? No selects right?

[hilak]

The implementation is in place in order to maintain order, specifically in the GUI applications, so there would not bean over-abundance of filter logic in them.

If you are interested in cancelling the implementation in your own CE installation, you may (to the best of my knowledge) look at the categoryPeer.class.php lines 35-38

Hi ElGabbu,

The selects you can see in the populate log.

Thanks,

Commenting line 36 seems to do the trick :) ... thank you very much for your help both of you
