DSaaS - Delivery Server as a Service - REST API for DynaMents
Tim Davis, well known from OpenText™ Professional Services America, wrote a few years ago an article about:
DSaaS is a REST-style API so any web developer for OpenText Delivery Server (AKA RedDot LiveServer) utilizing it's features without touching DynaMents.
The project needs development to achieve this aim. Join the effort on GitHub. Reach out to the contact information provided to get an introduction if you are interested.
DSaaS README v0.1.0
This is an alpha status project that needs some help. It was developed using v10.x of OpenText Delivery Server.
Structure of Repository
- api-doc
- auxillary-data (databases and other auxillary data for providing tests)
- handlers (add and fix these here and we can bundle them back into a DS project later)
- http
- message
- ping
- project
- rdb
- repository
- script
- search
- soap
- target
- user
- (add more here once tested with core project)
- transportPackages-snapshots (snapshots of different versions look for latest)
- exports.zip (Original+Outdated - DS projects and Registry Varibles to get the framework to develop DSaaS)
