IBM Content Integrator integration services provide bidirectional access to the underlying information and functionality of both content and workflow systems. IBM offers a large library of pre-built connectors to many commercial systems and a toolkit for building custom
connectors. These connectors normalize the vendor-specific API calls of underlying repositories and provide real-time, bidirectional access to the native content, processes and
metadata stored in these systems.

Federation Services

When IBM Content Integrator is used in conction with the content federation services (CFS) features in IBM FileNet Content Manager 4.5, metadata from disparate repositories
is federated into the FileNet P8 content engine, where it appears as native FileNet P8 content, and becomes available to FileNet P8 applications providing search & retrieval, records management and business process management capabilities.

Content Views

Content views allow companies to create a single logical view of content related to a specific process or topic— regardless of where the content is stored and managed. These content views remove barriers imposed by disparate content sources and make content appear as if it were organized in a virtual repository.

Federated Search

Federated search capabilities enable property-based and full-text queries against multiple repositories, returning an aggregated result set. This feature also allows users to create
saved searches for enhanced productivity.

Metadata Mapping

Metadata mapping services normalize index values across multiple systems. This intuitive mapping tool makes it easy to define a common data model for working with content stored
in multiple disparate repositories.

Single Sign-on

Single sign-on encrypts and stores repository credentials and allows users to login to multiple underlying systems through a single authentication process. This capability can also integrate with existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) infrastructures.

Identity-Aware Repository Session Pools

Identity-aware repository session pools are easily configured within the administration tool and can be used to improve application performance by reducing the number of repository logins/logouts, and to manage the use of repository resources by limiting repository connections during peak activity.

View Services

View services (optional) enable companies to convert specialized document and image formats into browserreadable renditions on the fly. View services can convert more than 150 document types into browser-readable formats so they can be displayed natively within a browser, including standard business formats and specialized formats such as TIFF and MO:DCA. View services also provides a signed Java applet for annotations, printing, and client-side image manipulation.

Developer Services

IBM Content Integrator developer services provides several options for making distributed content and processes, as well as the functionality around the content and processes accessible within user interfaces and client applications. Web components deliver access to the information and the features of both content and workflow systems, including:
• Folder, workflow queue, and virtual repository navigation
• Content and workflow queries
• Content list
• Content, folder and workflow item creation
• Content and workflow item update
Developer services also include a rich Java API and SOA style Web service implementation.
