getChildCategories() not working

Hi All,

 

Anyone please help me to access child categories of a category group. Code below

 

List <DataCategoryGroupSobjectTypePair> pairs = new List<DataCategoryGroupSobjectTypePair>();
DataCategoryGroupSobjectTypePair pair = new DataCategoryGroupSobjectTypePair();
pair.setSobject('KnowledgeArticleVersion');
pair.setDataCategoryGroupName('CustomerType');
pairs.add(pair);
List<Schema.DescribeDataCategoryGroupStructureResult>results = Schema.describeDataCategoryGroupStructures(pairs, true);
System.debug('*****'+results);
DataCategory [] toplevelCategories = results[0].getTopCategories();
DataCategory toplevelCategoryAll = toplevelCategories[0];
System.debug('*****'+toplevelCategoryAll );
List<Schema.DataCategory> childCategories = toplevelCategoryAll.getChildCategories();
System.debug('*****'+childCategories[0] );

 

I have 5 child category in category group "All". However, getChildCategories() is returning null. My profile has permission to view all child category. Please help me out.
