Introduction¶

About this Guide¶

This guide provides information required by an External Application (EA) to interface with IFS Scheduling applications. For detailed xml definitions please see the Scheduling Schema Guide and the Modelling Schema Guide.

Backwards Compatibility¶

As a general principle, all aspects of the interface are kept backwards compatible wherever possible. This means that under normal circumstances it should always be possible to upgrade to a new version of the software without any changes being required to the integration.

If updates are made to the software that require changes to the integration for any reason, these will be documented in the 'Appendix: Deprecated and Removed Features' section of the Release Enhancements Guide.
