Restrictions

FirstSpirit External Synchronization has been designed to support distributed development processes and must therefore only be used to distribute and synchronize templates (with all dependent FirstSpirit elements also required for the development process from other stores).

We recommend using the FirstSpirit ContentTransport functionality for distributing editorial content.

FirstSpirit External Synchronization is not designed to transport mass data. Transporting datasets / database content in particular can lead to a high volume of data.

Information on Using External Components

External Synchronization works together with external components (VCS, IDE, etc.) in the distributed development environment. These external components do not form part of the FirstSpirit product. The relevant manufacturer (not Crownpeak) is responsible for the functionality provided by these external components.

When using the functionality, it is important to ensure that FirstSpirit provides the required interfaces for exporting and importing FirstSpirit objects but does not have an impact on the use of the exported content outside the FirstSpirit environment.

Problems that occur when using the exported content in external components can be reported via FirstSpirit product support and will be rectified (if possible) if they refer to the FirstSpirit API interface. However, Crownpeak is not obligated to fix bugs.
