How is "Business Solution" provided?
Application Type
Service

I found some "Business Solution" type assets on Forge.

I have a few questions about these.


1.How do I upload an asset to Forge as a "Business Solution" type? 

I cannot select "Business Solution" type on the Create new asset screen.  

Where do I upload from? 

From the Partner Center? (Can only partners upload?)


2.If a user wants to download an asset, he/she must contact the partner. 

Is the partner free to decide how to provide the asset and the royalty?

Hi, here is the reply from OutSystems:

The Business Solution needs to be published in the Partner Business Solutions Portal. The Business solution will then appear in Forge. 

A Partner needs to have access to the Partner Center, and there is able to find the documentation needed.

Hi Naho,

Question 1.How do I upload an asset to Forge as a "Business Solution" type?  Where do I upload from? From the Partner Center? (Can only partners upload?)

Answer 1: only OutSystems partners can do that, if you work for a partner, and you are not able to do it, then ask your OutSystems Partner manager for help on the process. How and where to upload I don't know, good question. It doesn't seem to be publically documented, but that might be because only partners are allowed to do it. I will see if OutSystems can provide an answer.

Question: 2.If a user wants to download an asset, he/she must contact the partner.

Answer 2: As far as I understand, yes, but let's assume it's not for free, or else it would be a Forge component available for everyone to download. Also the module's can be locked as you have with OutSystems applications like in Case Management Framework, to protect their IP.

Kind regards,

Daniel
