Extending doors next generation beyond OSLC
Greetings,
We want to write an application that will automate from CLI (no GUI):
1. Links import, validation and management (custom link types).
2. Reposition/restructure artifacts in a module.
We explored the capabilities of the OSLC API and we cannot achieve this with OSLC RM.
We did not find online the Doors Next Generation SDK (as there is for RTC).
Please advice about our options.
Thanks
Joy and happiness
David

Not exactly sure about item 1, but in previous versions of RRC/DNG, manipulating links is possible via OSLC.

With DNG 5.0, manipulating artifacts within a module also becomes possible.

Thanks you Donald for your answer.
I was researching OSLC this article https://jazz.net/library/article/1197
I also tested OSLC clients to custom DNG link types. Link types like "Link" or "Term" which are not standard OSLC link types.
With Lyo SDK we failed to manage links that are not standard OSLC link types.
The Lyo SDK provide good solution to manage standard OSLC link types.
As for the new DNG 5.0 client extensions.
1. Requires extending the Jazz server, for each Jazz server (good luck managing your testing lab).
2. Requires interactive manipulation with GUI.
Our top priority request is for: a periodically run batch program that will update/import links from input file.
