Questions & Answers
Why is Aprisma discontinuing EPI, SSAPI, IHAPI, and the Simulator
Playback Tool?
These products are the development toolkits for the SPECTRUM legacy
APIs. The legacy APIs have been replaced with Spectrum’s Corba interface.
The Corba interface will allow customers and partners to develop
applications using standards based development environments (Java,
C++). Our research has shown that very few of our current customers are
using these toolkits; as such the decision was made to simplify the
development options and only offer support for Corba moving forward.
What is the recommended migration path?
Please see the Feature Comparison
[page 73] to gain a better
understanding of the functionality that will be available in the
recommended product.
If you have previously created an integration utilizing the EPI, SSAPI, or
IHAPI toolkits, and wish to continue utilizing the integration, please contact
