The lifecycle element allows a web script developer to indicate the
development status of a web script. Typically, web scripts start out in a draft state while
being developed or tested, are promoted to production quality for widespread use, and finally
retired at the end of their life. The lifecycle element is
optional.
The lifecycle element can have the following values:
- none
- Indicates this web script is not part of a lifecycle
- sample
- Indicates this web script is a sample and is not intended for production use
- draft
- Indicates this web script might be incomplete, experimental, or still subject to change
- public_api
- Indicates this web script is part of a public API and should be stable and well tested
- draft_public_api
- Indicates this web script is intended to become part of the public API but is incomplete or still subject to change
- deprecated
- Indicates this web script should be avoided; it might be removed in future versions of the product
- internal
- Indicates this web script is for SkyVault Community Edition use only; it should not be relied upon between versions and is likely to change
The lifecycle element has no attributes.
