CMF 5.0 APIs are distributed in correlator deployment packages (CDPs). A CDP contains application EPL code in a proprietary, non-plain-text format. This treats EPL files similarly to Java files in a JAR file. You can inject a CDP file to the correlator just as you inject an EPL file or a JAR file containing a JMON application. When you inject a CDP file into the correlator, the package ensures that all the EPL files in the CDP are injected and injected in the correct order.

To support CDPs, Apama 5.0 includes a number of new features, which you can learn about in the Release Notes of Apama.

Distribution of the CMF APIs in CDPs means that you cannot modify monitors and event types defined in the CMF APIs. If this becomes a problem, contact Software AG Global Support.
