Integrating Apama with External Data Sources
You can connect Apama to any event data source, database, messaging infrastructure, or application. There are three ways to do this:
Develop client applications with
Apama Java, .NET, or C++ APIs.
Create applications that use the Java Message Service (JMS) connectivity integrated into the
Apama correlator.
Implement Integration Application Framework (IAF) adapters. The IAF is a server component that adapters plug into for run-time invocation.
IAF adapters provide bi-directional connectivity between an external event source and Apama, and XML-based mapping between the event source’s data format and Apama's internal format. Apama offers a range of standard adapters for capital markets, infrastructure, and connectivity to data and messaging sources, and provides APIs for building custom adapters.
