Welcome to the GitHub home page for the i2 Connect gateway. The examples in this repository demonstrate how to create and configure connectors that retrieve data from external sources.
In a deployment of i2 Analyze that uses the i2 Connect gateway, a connector transforms data from an external source into entity and link records that conform to an i2 Analyze schema, to be viewed and analyzed in IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook Premium.
When you implement a connector, you develop services that allow analysts to perform parameterized searches to find records based on conditions, and seeded searches to find records that are connected to other records.
The example connectors in this repository provide services that can be used to search all the data in an external source, or a subset of the data that satisfies a set of specified conditions. The connectors also perform server-side validation to prohibit invalid requests.
