Customize an Archer Application from an external Application


I would like to make a desktop application (C#) that can create a custom Archer application and modify one of my current Archer applications (and subforms). I checked the SOAP and REST API but they have no functions for this purpose.

I was wondering if this is possible, and if it is, then can you help me get in the right direction to solve this?

is there a way to automate the creation of a custom archer application?

i've been thinking about creating this custom apps adding directly their info in the archer database. Nevertheless, i don't know if this could be a good way, since the archer database is complex and i haven't found any documentation about it.

Thank you for your time!


Solution

  • you are going to struggle to get any support from RSA for doing this. It is possible to reverse engineer the database to make changes but you would be working without any documentation and would be vulnerable to any system updates changing the way the data is stored as RSA release new updates.

    You could look at reverse engineering the packaging and have your desktop application output packages that could be installed. This limits your impact in making direct database changes but is still not advisable.

    Sorry I can't offer more help to a fellow Archer hacker, good luck!
