IBM Content Integrator, Version 8.6

Integration SPI overview

The Integration Service Provider Interface (SPI) allows developers to customize existing connectors for their specific application needs and to create new connectors to repositories that are not provided by IBM® Content Integrator.

Developers who use the SPI need to be familiar with the Integration API as well as the classes and interfaces in the package com.venetica.vbr.ejb.spi that describe the requirements of connectors in detail. Components and SPIs that have reached their End of Service date are labeled as deprecated.
