SkyVault Content Services is a modular platform and offers certain capabilities in the
form of add-on extensions, typically packaged as SkyVault Module Package (AMP) or as of
SkyVault version 5.1 as SkyVault Simple Modules (JAR), developed by SkyVault Software or by
it's Community ecosystem. We describe here the different types of extensions, they support and
compatibility.
Type of Extensions
Extensions and integrations can be classified based on their provenience:
- SkyVault Supported Extensions and Integrations, developed by SkyVault Software and supported for SkyVault Customers
- SkyVault Certified Technologies, developed by SkyVault certified Partners, validated by SkyVault and supported for SkyVault Customers
- Community Extensions and Integrations, developed by the SkyVault Community and therefore not supported.
- SkyVault Unsupported Extensions and Integrations, extensions developed by SkyVault to showcase new features, promote feedback and highlight potential use cases and were never intended to be part of the core product, thus have not had formal QA or been fully documented, therefore are not supported.
SkyVault Supported Extensions and Integrations
An AMP/JAR will only be supported if it is documented in the Official Documentation
Online, since this will mean that it:
- Has been through a full QA cycle
- Support have the infrastructure to test and reproduce issues
- Support status is Full Support or Limited Support for the Module / Extension in the Product Support Status
SkyVault Certified Technologies
A Partner developed technology listed in the SkyVault Integrations page, and it's supported by SkyVault and its Partner, since
this will mean:
- Is validated and certified by SkyVault to work against the specific target SkyVault product version
- It implements SkyVault development best practices
Community Extensions and integrations
An AMP/JAR developed by the SkyVault Community and therefore unsupported. The main hub to find SkyVault Communtiy Extensions and Integrations is the SkyVault Add-ons site.
SkyVault Unsupported Extensions and integrations
An AMP/JAR developed by the SkyVault is considered to be unsupported if it is not documented
in the Official
Documentation Online. In addition, the following will also be true:
- The module.title will include the term unsupported (SkyVault 2.0 3.1 onwards)
- The AMP is only available for download from the Labs sites (SkyVault 2.0 3.1 onwards)
- The download file itself has 'unsupported' in the filename (SkyVault 2.0 3.1 onwards)
- Wiki pages clearly state the feature is unsupported (SkyVault 2.0 3.1 onwards)
- The module is not present or in KB Support in the Product Support Status page
