Basic Use Case Flows

Graphical overviews describing the interaction of the yuuvis® Momentum core services in exemplary basic use case flows. 

Custom Client Build with Libraries

Documentation of the client core and framework libraries, as usable for custom client development.

Core

  • Page:
    API — Organization and description of the yuuvis® Momentum ReST API endpoints is found here. Consider using our yuuvis® Postman Collections for convenient testing.
  • Page:
    DMS Endpoints — These endpoints may be used by any kind of client, operating under an authorized user. 
  • Page:
    Admin Endpoints — These endpoints allow the administration of system properties for a tenant. They enable the tenant administrator to apply changes to the tenant-specific schema of available object types as well as to the rolesset carrying the permissions. Tenant is always the one the requesting administrative user belongs to.

    Note: to use this API, you must be a tenant administrator. This means that you must have specific authorizations.

  • Page:
    System Endpoints — These endpoints allow the administration of the yuuvis® Momentum system. Global schemas and role sets are merged into each tenant's schema and role set, making the contained object types and roles available in each of them.

    Note: To use this API, you must be a system administrator. This means that you must have specific authorizations.

  • Page:
    Rendition Endpoints — These endpoints provide document renditions in different formats.
  • Page:
    Web-API Gateway Endpoints The higher-level API of the Web-API Gateway on top of the core, as it is useful for client application developers.
  • Page:
    User Settings Endpoints — The USERSERVICE API allows accessing and managing custom user information, settings and content.

Overview of all yuuvis® Momentum Services

 open...

The requirement of high and thus horizontal scalability as well as high availability is currently best combatted by architectures comprising of distributable small services which can be run in more than one instance. Such architectures offer redundance and pinpoint scalabilityleading, among other advantages, to the wild success of this architectural pattern. This article describes the services yuuvis® Momentum is made of.

Core Services

The services yuuvis® Momentum Core is made of.

yuuvis® Momentum fields a core consisting of a small zoo of cloud-native microservices, which allows for high availability and scalability. The entirety of the core's functions is made available through the API-gateway as core API. Two servicesthree if counting in the API-gateway serve the microservice architecture itself: ADMIN allowing service administration like restarting a service or changing its intended amount of instances, and CONFIG, reading, caching and delivering configuration information to the other services.

Additional Services

Services for functional extension as upper layers on top of the yuuvis® Momentum core system.

The client services offer, in accordance with the layered onion approach, both additional functionality as well as higher-level API functions valuable to client applications. Next to the user and the viewer services, the web-api gateway service is the main service for the client development.
