The iAS EPE Sample Application provides an example of how an iPM application can interact with an Enterprise Information System (EIS) using a custom activity. A Stubbed Connector is shipped with this sample application. The Stubbed Connector simulates a real connector and implements the protocol required by Unified Integration Framework (UIF). It returns hard-coded values for queries made from an iPM application custom activity. This Stubbed Connector is used to demonstrate how you can implement a custom activity that interacts with an EIS.
