This book is intended for programmers who plan to write applications that work with the Information Catalog Manager. These programs can use application program interface (API) calls to access the Information Catalog Manager functions.
This book assumes that you are familiar with the concepts explained in the Information Catalog Manager Administration Guide and with C language programming. You should also have Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler installed.
The Information Catalog Manager provides the application program interface (API) and import/export interfaces for information catalogs.
