Overview of the IAS Extension API

The IAS Extension API provides interfaces and classes to build extensions to IAS such as data source extensions and manipulator extensions. An extension developer packages extensions into a JAR and a IAS application developer installs the JAR and any additional JARs (for third-party dependencies) into the Integrator Acquisition System. After installation, the extensions are available and configurable using the IAS Server API or the IAS Server Command-line Utility.

The IAS Extension API is installed by default as part of the Integrator Acquisition System.

The components of the IAS Extension API include the following:

The IAS Extension API, utility, and record access packages (IAS\<version>\lib\ias-extension-api)
The IAS Extension samples (IAS\<version>\sample\ias-extensions)
Integrator Acquisition System Extension API Reference (Javadoc) (IAS\<version>\doc\ias-extension-api-javadoc)
Integrator Acquisition System Extension API Guide (this guide).
