CAS manipulators modify Endeca records as part of data processing in a CAS acquisition. CAS manipulators typically modify records by adding or deleting properties on records, or by filtering records from the output of a CAS acquisition. Manipulators are optional.

CAS provides two script manipulators: Filtering Script manipulator and Modifying Script manipulator. To enable them, see Enabling script manipulators. These manipulators provide a light-weight solution to perform record manipulation using the BeanShell Scripting Language. Each manipulator has a small example BeanShell script in the default value of the Script Source field. You can modify the default BeanShell scripts as necessary for your acquisition.

If these manipulators do not meet your needs, you can implement a custom manipulator using the CAS Extension API. For details about implementation and installation, see the CAS Extension API Guide.
