Feature add-ons can be created, installed, and accessed with Content Engine API's, as shown in these code examples.
Creating an Add-on
The following Java™ and
C# examples show how to create an AddOn object.
Creating an Upgrade Add-on
An UpgradeAddOn object is the vehicle
that is used to move a superseded add-on to its current, upwardly compatible
version.
Retrieving Registered Add-ons AddOn objects that are registered in a
domain's Global Configuration Database (GCD) can be retrieved.
Installing an Add-on
After an AddOn or UpgradeAddOn object
is registered in a domain Global Configuration Database (GCD), it can
be installed to a new or existing object store.
Checking for Superseded Add-ons
An application can determine whether an add-on has been superseded
by a newer version in the domain, and, if so, whether the newer version
has been installed in the object store.
Retrieving Add-on Installation Records
Add-on installation records for all of the add-ons and upgrade add-ons
that are installed on an object store can be retrieved.
Deleting an Add-on UpgradeAddOn and AddOn objects
can be deleted from a domain's Global Configuration Database (GCD).
