Hello,

 

Question about sustainability of custom development

I want to develop a custom tool which interact with OCUM (currently 6.3)

I only need to retrieve OCUM information (no action trigger) 

So I have to method to reach my goal

- use the OCUM API (Java binding in my case)

- connect to OCUM DB and SELECT from OCUM DB Views

Are both methods sustainable (stability in next future releases) ?

What is recommanded for custom code sustainability ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help

Best Regards

Christian

Hi Christian,

 

both methods are valid, supported and sustainable.

With regards to API we (NetApp) may suggest to use OnCommand API Services instead of going to the OCUM server directly.

In regards to ODBC you are also on the save side. We purposefully only disclose the DB views rather than the actual tables as the views are meant to stay wheras engineering is free to alter the actual tables in later releases as required.

 

Kind regards, Niels
