iKnowBase Service API

The iKnowBase Service API exposes functionality to access and process documents and metadata in the iKnowBase Content Store. The API is available both as functions and procedures in PL/SQL packages, Java methods, and Web Services. This chapter, together with the documentation created from the PL/SQL and Java code, composes the documentation of the API.

Security considerations

When using the iKnowBase Service API, the programmer who implements the api client is responsible for authentication the end user. The programmer will then pass that user identity to the Service API using the parameter authenticatedUser, which is present on all methods. The API will then use the security privileges of that user when determening which functionality and data which is available.
