Installation in Verse On Premise¶
You may either download Huddo Boards applications.json file and use it as a localFileProvider or just copy the url for it and use it as a httpDataProvider by following the instructions below.

Deploying extensions using the built-in endpoint¶
Verse On-Premises implemented a built-in endpoint to serve the application’s JSON data from a local file or an HTTP hosted file. If storing the applications JSON data as a static file works for you, this is the way to go.
Two data providers are implemented in the built-in endpoint:
-
Local file data provider: Serves the applications JSON data from a local file on the Domino server. This allows you to deploy extensions without dependency on another server. The path of the file can be specified using a
notes.ini
parameterVOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_FilePath
. -
HTTP data provider: Serves the applications JSON data from an HTTP hosted file. This allows you to deploy
applications.json
to a centralized HTTP server. The HTTP URL of the file can be specified usingnotes.ini
parameterVOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_URL
.
The notes.ini
parameter VOP_Extensibility_Data_Provider_Name
controls which data provider to use, either localFileProvider
or httpDataProvider
. By default, if none is specified, localFileProvider
will be used. In either case, the data provider will periodically check the source applications.json
file for updates, so you don’t have to restart the server after a new version of applications.json
is deployed.
To use the local file data provider:
-
Make sure
notes.ini
parameterVOP_Extensibility_Data_Provider_Name
is either clear or set tolocalFileProvider
. -
Deploy
applications.json
to the Domino server. -
Make sure notes.ini parameter
VOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_FilePath
is set to the file path ofapplications.json
. For example:VOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_FilePath=D:\data\applications.json
To use the HTTP data provider:
-
Make sure
notes.ini
parameterVOP_Extensibility_Data_Provider_Name
is set tohttpDataProvider.
VOP_Extensibility_Data_Provider_Name=httpDataProvider
-
Deploy
applications.json
to the HTTP server. -
Make sure
notes.ini
parameterVOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_URL
is set to the HTTP URL ofapplications.json
. For example:VOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_URL=https://files.renovations.com/vop/applications.json
