cost models. You can call the Search API to get the report schedule for the hierarchy and verify the entity to
cost model mappings.

Call the Search API by using the following URL in your program.
POST <API base URL>/search

In the request XML, specify the following parameters to search schedules. You can use any of these
parameters alone or in combination with the others.
