Rational CM API Provider

The Rational® CM API is implemented by a Rational CM API provider. The provider is the collection of Java™ packages with which clients can interact with change and configuration management services. A provider receives requests from Rational CM API clients and interacts with the repositories for the specific products to process the requests.

A subprovider is a component of the Rational CM API that provides product-specific functionality. Each subprovider package maps a product-specific object model to the Rational CM API object model and makes the product-specific objects available to Rational CM API client applications.

The CM API provider dispatches requests to product-specific subproviders, as shown in the following architecture diagram:CM API architecture
