Connectivity plug-ins perform a similar role to IAF adapters: both allow plug-ins to transform and handle delivery of events. In most cases, we recommend using connectivity plug-ins instead of the IAF for new adapters. See also How Apama integrates with external data sources, which gives the reasons for using connectivity plug-ins.
The samples/connectivity_plugin/application/genericsendreceive directory of your Apama installation includes a simple sample which provides an easy way to get started with sending and receiving messages to or from any connectivity plug-in. For more information, see the README.txt file in the above directory and Sending and receiving events with connectivity plug-ins.
