IBM Connections is a leading business social network platform. Connections empowers people to confidently share knowledge beyond traditional organizational boundaries, allowing organizations to engage the right people, accelerate innovation, and deliver results.
Our IBM Connections Connector was specifically developed for IBM Connections, establishing a secure connection to the Connections application and mapping the content including metadata and attachments from the Connections schema to the search engine schema. It then extracts content and feeds it to the search engine in a process called ingestion. It supports multiple search engines, including Elasticsearch, Elastic Cloud, and Elastic Cloud Enterprise.

This connector supports both full and incremental ingestion, which extracts only content which has changed.
