Support and Feedback

The Sentinel Plug-in SDK includes libraries and code developed by Novell Engineering, as well as template and sample code which you can use to begin developing your own projects. Please ensure, however, that you understand the support policy:

  • Novell recommends that you take advantage of the Sentinel Product Support Forums for support, advice, and sample code. This is a customer forum, but we do monitor and reply to as many posts as we can.
  • Novell officially supports the API (classes, attributes, and methods) documented as part of this SDK. Novell does not support any classes or methods developed by customers to extend their solutions.
  • Novell officially supports the template code that drives the Collectors and Actions, except for any template code that is in the dev directory for the plug-in itself and is modifiable.
  • Novell does not officially support the sample code that is copied into the release.js file and which is editable by the developer.
