Get Collection Members

The Get Collection Members object will create a list of the current members of a collection. Configuring the Get Collection Members object is similar to listing the members of a collection using the SMS Administrator Console.

Note: The Opalis Client and Action Server user accounts must have sufficient rights to view programs, collections, and packages as well as create advertisements.

To configure the Get Collection Members object you will need to know the name of the server and the login credentials where the collection is stored, and the name of the collection whose members you want to list.
