# Find all Components of specific types

As a developer, I want to get a list of all components of specific types (and sub-types).

For example, you wan to find all **http-connector operations** (`subType="http"`), incl. **patch operations** (`subType="rest-beta"`) and **web-service listener** (`subType="wss"`). You need to following query file, to query to appropriate components.

```json
{
  "QueryFilter": {
    "expression": {
      "operator": "and",
      "nestedExpression": [
        {
          "operator": "or",
          "nestedExpression": [
              { "operator": "EQUALS", "property": "subType", "argument": ["http" ]},
              { "operator": "EQUALS", "property": "subType", "argument": ["rest-beta" ]},
              { "operator": "EQUALS", "property": "subType", "argument": ["wss" ]}
          ]
        },
        { "property": "type", "operator": "EQUALS",   "argument": [ "connector-action" ] },
        { "operator": "EQUALS", "property": "currentVersion", "argument": ["true" ]},
        { "operator": "EQUALS", "property": "deleted",        "argument": ["false" ]}
      ]
    }}
}
```

> It is recommended to use a dedicated Workspace directory to collect all information in that directory: `work\http-operations`.

1. Create that directory in your workspace.
2. Create a file `q-http-ops.json` with the query from above.

```
bc comp get /wd work\http-operations /q q-http-ops.json /children none
```

This command retrieves the metadata of all components matching the query-filter, **incl. their children.**

* [**comp**onent **get**](/boomi-console/commands/arguments/comp-arguments/comp-get-arguments.md) - Resolve and get component metadata incl. their children.
  * Specify `/children none` to omit children, to get only the components returned by the query.
  * Otherwise, in that case, all profiles referenced in the operations will be fetched, too.
* `/wd` Specifies the workspace directory for the current command.
* `/q` Specifies the query file - in the current workspace directory - that is used to resolve the components which are subject to `comp get`.
* `/t compList.csv` will use the *compList.csv* template, to render a complete list with all components.

### Use a custom template

The default `compList.csv` does not contain a column for *sub-type*, which is quite important for the use-case above.

1. Get the *compList.csv* template from the `Templates\Freemarker` directory where BC is installed (default templates).
2. Paste it into your workspace directory under `Templates\Freemarker` as `compList2.csv`\
   ![](/files/nlfKZBfqjffv9Zyr4ZJj)

```
bc comp get 
    /wd work\http-operations 
    /q q-http-ops.json
    /children none
    /t compList2.csv
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://boomi.markusschmidt.pro/boomi-console/command-collection/find-all-components-of-specific-types.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
