Using templates for paging parameters

Input REST file syntax : Table definition entries : Paging : Using templates for paging parameters

For REST services that use more complicated paging parameters, such as a single URI parameter that contains both an offset and limit parameter, the driver supports using templates to configure paging parameters. In these scenarios, you can specify the pair for the values for the following parameters:

NextPageParameter

PageNumberParameter

PageSizeParameter

RowOffsetParameter

The following syntax specifies templates for paging parameter values:

"<paging_parameter>":"<uri_option_name>=<option_element1>:{<token1>}[,<option_element2:<token2>[,...]]"

For example, the following demonstrates using variables to configure RowOffsetParameter paging:

"<table_name>": {
"#path": "<host_name>/<endpoint_path>",
"#maximumPageSize":100,
"#rowOffsetParameter":"locator=start:{OFFSET},count:{LIMIT}"
},

You can specify one or more of the following templates in the option_name=template pair:

Table 31. Paging parameter variables
Token	Description
{LIMIT}	References the page size.
{OFFSET}	References the starting row number.
{PAGE}	References the page number.
{NEXT}	References the next-page token.
