IBM Connections 3: New SPIs
- Service provider interfaces that were provided as an add-on to IBM Connections 2.5 have been incorporated into the product in version 3. You can use the SPIs to integrate third-party search engines with IBM Connections. The seedlist feeds for Files and Forums have changed as follows since the 2.5 release:
Files
You used to send the request to a different URI depending on whether you wanted to crawl for personal (http://<servername>/files/seedlist/document/personal) or community (http://<servername>/files/seedlist/document/community) files. Now, there is a single URI which enables you to crawl for both types of files: http://<servername>/files/seedlist/myserver
Forums
Forums is now a stand-alone application and is no longer dependent on the Communities application. Its URI has changed from http://<servername>/communities/seedlist/forum/myserver to http://<servername>/forums/seedlist/myserver.
- Events are generated by each IBM Connections application when content is created, updated or deleted. Using our event SPIs, these events can be processed by third-party tools for auditing and compliance purposes. See Event SPI for more details.
