Hi, 'Feed' is a recent technique to syndicate information from multiple sources easily. Recent versions of popular browsers (Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox 2.0) and rich desktop applications (FeedDemon etc) support 'feeds' very well. Popular websites (CNN.com, msnbc.com etc) allow users to subscribe to feeds and get their content easily. In intranet environments, many users'd be interested in getting updates from different systems thru feeds along with news etc.
RSS is one of the popular formats behind this technique. AR System application developers can feed-enable their data using this mid-tier plug-in that communicates with AR System server and transforms data to RSS feed format. This plug-in is tested with 7.0.1 Patch 2 (MidTier and AR Server) but should work with 7.0.1 version onwards. * To reach the download location, do the following: - Go to http://www.bmc.com/arsystem/dev_community/ - Click on Community Downloads - You should see 'Feeds Plug-in' listed under "New to Community Downloads". Select it. - Click on View Download button - In the resulting page, go to Attachment tab * Download Feeds.zip and 'Feeds and ARSystem.doc' and open it for the installation instructions More details: * Attached document has more info on security aspects and general introduction to feeds etc * This plug-in is a sample data visualization plug-in and not officially supported by BMC Feel free to send me an email if you have questions/comments or defects to report or enhancement requests.
