Implement connectivity plug-ins. These are adapters that run inside the Apama correlator using a mixture of built-in and user-defined "transports" for message sending and receiving, and "codecs" for message transformation. Apama offers a built-in connectivity plug-in transport for use with Universal Messaging.

Create applications that use Java Message Service (JMS) integrated into the Apama correlator.

Develop client applications with Apama Java, .NET, or C++ APIs.

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.
