What is the BlackBerry UEM Integration SDK?
BlackBerry UEM Integration SDK
?The
BlackBerry UEM Integration SDK
allows developers to create
plug-ins that extend the functionality of BlackBerry UEM
version 12.7
or later. Using the UEM Integration SDK
(which
includes the UEM
Integration
plug-in for Eclipse
) and the UEM
Integration APIs, you can create and deploy BlackBerry UEM
plug-ins
that allow for the tight integration of new features or services with an existing BlackBerry UEM
installation.The advantages offered by a
BlackBerry UEM
plug-in:
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Integrate new services and features | You can integrate custom services with BlackBerry UEM to
extend service-based functionality to device users. For example, the BlackBerry Workspaces plug-in allows an administrator to integrate Workspaces file-sharing services
with an existing BlackBerry UEM domain. Administrators can use the management console to assign the Workspaces service to users and
groups and to configure and manage various aspects of the service, including distribution
lists, workspaces, and document settings. |
Add UI components to the management console | You can expose UI for new features or services in the management console, including
configuration settings, enable and disable options, administrator permissions, and user
assignment mechanisms. Features or services can also be implemented as "back-end" changes
with no UI impact. |
Leverage existing UEM features | The new features or services that you integrate with BlackBerry UEM can
leverage the existing capabilities of the platform, including role-based authorization,
high availability, group and user management, logging, monitoring, and licensing. |
Leverage existing systems | You can integrate BlackBerry UEM plug-ins with and use data from existing systems, including an
organization's company directory and key components of the BlackBerry Infrastructure (for example, the licensing infrastructure and provisioning
servers). |
Add custom APIs | You can add new APIs to BlackBerry UEM that
can be exposed on an existing BlackBerry UEM port.
For example, you can implement APIs that allow a third-party product to obtain information
about the status of activated devices. |
You can request the free
UEM Integration SDK
package from developers.blackberry.com. The SDK package gives you
everything you need to get started, including the UEM
Integration plug-in for Eclipse
, several
code samples, and API references.
