Visualizer Plugin Support - What's the official support capacity / agreement from Oracle?

Question

Hello,

Can someone tell me where Oracle stands with supporting the Visualizer Plugins?

My current understanding is that it's purely community based and in the hands of the contributor / plugin creator ?

Is there the concept of certifying / supporting certain plugins? Similar to the way "Competitors" do it?

This question is founded in the context of ……. It's difficult to bring it's usage to production if it's not supported.

Thank you @Philippe Lions-Oracle for the speedy response.

This helps us position our own adoption for production scenarios. We'll have to manage and accept the risk per scenario.

Is there any form of adoption to core offering and associated timeline for some of these visual capabilities?

Hi @Ciaran , thanks for the question,

Oracle Analytics supports the SDK to create custom extensions, as well as public APIs for various OAC features that extensions can consume. There is no certification process for custom extensions as they can be of many different kinds. The extensions that exist in the library are examples of what can be achieved using SDK. We officially do not support them, but we do our best to maintain/fix them as users report issues (like in other communities). We are also welcoming contributions of extensions from community in this forum. @Lalitha Venkataraman-Oracle has already posted a few custom extensions directly in this community, we would be happy to help anyone else with posting their own creations as well. Let us know if you need help/support with that.
