Developing with XCC

Point-in-time queries allow you to query older versions of content in a database. In an XCC application, you set up the options for any requests submitted to MarkLogic Server with the RequestOptions class. One of the options you can set is the effective point-in-time option. Therefore, to set up a query to run at a different point in time, you just set that option (the setEffectivePointInTime method in Java) on the RequestOptions. The query will then run at the specified point in time.

There are several things you must set up on MarkLogic Server in order to perform point-in-time queries. For details, see Point-In-Time Queries in the Application Developer’s Guide.
