Adding custom or third-party applications

In addition to the HCP Anywhere applications that are available for accessing your HCP Anywhere account, you can access HCP Anywhere using custom or third-party applications if your HCP Anywhere administrator allows it. These can be applications that:

Your HCP Anywhere administrator has integrated with HCP Anywhere. In this case, contact your administrator for information on any third-party applications that they have already integrated with HCP Anywhere and which you can now use to access your account.

You integrate with HCP Anywhere yourself using the HCP Anywhere File Sync and Share API. There are a variety of resources at your disposal for the File Sync and Share API. In the Maven Central Repository, there is a Java software developers kit (SDK) for File Sync and Share API. In addition to the Java SDK, there is a sample program that uses the SDK as well as a reference guide for the File Sync and Share API on GitHub.

oMaven—To access the Maven Central Repository, see http://search.maven.org. If you don’t know how to use the Maven Central Repository, see http://central.sonatype.org/.

oGitHub—To access the Hitachi GitHub page, see https://github.com/Hitachi-Data-Systems.

Note: Your HCP Anywhere administrator determines if you can use the HCP Anywhere File Sync and Share API.

When you first access your HCP Anywhere account using a third-party application, the name Third-party applications appears in the list of devices on the My Devices page. All the third-party applications that are connected to your account are managed through this one third-party applications row. When you deregister or clear the login credentials on the third-party applications row, that operation is performed for each third-party application registered to your account.

In addition to working with your third-party applications on a single row, all the third-party applications you use to access HCP Anywhere count as a single device. That means that if you use three third-party applications to access HCP Anywhere, all three of those applications collectively count as only one device against the total number of devices you can use.
