Required a new API to retrieve the whole catalog from a given root

Summary

Required a new API to retrieve the whole catalog from a given root

Content

As part of our portal we embed OAS objects (reports, widgets, dashboards) in customer's homepages.

In order to do that, we call the existing  ORACLE SOAP API’s - http://<server_name>:9502/analytics-ws/saw.dll/wsdl/V12

many times recursively using getWebCatalogServiceSoap().getSubItems.

Doing it this way ends with a very bad performance (in real time) therefore we would appreciate creating this new API.

Note - this API should  retrieve NOT the whole catalog BUT the catalog  from a given root.

As for performance, it is not ideal retrieving a large catalog or entire catalog, only sub-items.
I would be surprised it was not timing out
The same would apply to archive/unarcive via the UI or runcat command-line.

For smaller recursive, perhaps consider increasing SOAP timeout and make sure JVM memory is adequate.
It's hard to recommend not understanding the performance issue or scripting.
