Content
The list of supported bridges and connectors and the functionality of particular bridges can sometimes change between releases. This document contains the most up-to-date information about which bridges and connectors are supported for importing and exporting metadata by using InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager.
This topic has the following sections:
- Supported import bridges
- Supported export bridges
- Supported connectors
- Supported bridges for prior versions
For instructions on importing metadata by using InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager, see Importing metadata.
For a list of bridges that are no longer supported at version 9.1, or whose names have changed, see Import bridges that are no longer supported.
Additional prerequisites must be met before you can import or export by using bridges. For details, see InfoSphere Metadata Integration Bridges Version 9.1 system requirements at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg27035749.
