Where I can check is application appstream compatiable

Hi, how can I find is application supports appstream. Especially applications like mongodb, oracledb, sap hana. If they don't support, is appstream-generator able to generate appstream metadata for them?

No, unless a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ is available for a GUI app.

They need to install a metainfo file into /usr/share/metainfo/ in order to be recognized. The projects you listed would mostly require a metainfo file describing a service or console-application component.

Maybe at some point we could add support to asgen to allow injecting metadata snippets from random sources, but at the moment I really want to avoid that as it makes people not fix the actual issues. Ideally file a bug/patch to MongoDB & Co. to include a metainfo file (might be a lot trickier for SAP/Oracle products).
