com.informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractPluggableAnalytic.configure(Properties): The ServiceController framework calls the configured property-values of the analytic during deployment.

com.informatica.sdk.samples.analytics.GetAnalytic.isSystem(): This method must return whether the analytic is a system analytic. If the method returns true, this analytic is considered as a non-configurable analytic. If the method returns false, the analytic appears in the analytic creation user interface and the user can create instances of it.

Overriding isSystem():
@Override
public boolean isSystem() {
	return false;
}

com.informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractAnalytic.destroy(): This method must provide cleanup logic only for the analytic. If this analytic uses a custom connection, you cannot destroy or clean up the connection. The destroy method for the connection is a part of connection undeployment.

com.informatica.cep.sdk.Analytic.analyze(List<Object>): This method provides the actual evaluation logic for the analytic, which optionally uses a connection if needed. The List<Object> passed is the list of arguments that the analytic takes. The type of elements in this list depends on how it is being used in the rule. The return value is usually a string or a list of strings if the analytic returns multiple values. It can also be a list of objects. Hence, the return type is left open.

com.informatica.cep.sdk.Analytic.isUnary(): This method returns whether the analytic can be used in a condition. If it returns true, you cannot use the analytic directly in a condition, but you can use it as a Boolean expression.

com.informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractPluggableAnalytic.isSimple(): This method returns false for the analytic that crosses engine boundary for evaluation irrespective of the number of events involved. Also, performance intensive analytics return false. The evaluation of this method can be avoided by filtering events in certain conditions. This method returns true if the analytic is simple (evaluated within the engine boundary and not dependent on any external entities).

com.informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractPluggableAnalytic.getInstrumentationIdentifier(): This method returns the instrumentation identifier. This identifier is set up by the lookup and identifies the analytic uniquely within a rule.

com. informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractPluggableAnalytic.setInstrumentationIdentifier(): This method sets the instrumentation identifier. This identifier is set by the lookup and identifies the analytic uniquely within a rule.

com.informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractPluggableAnalytic.needsPersisting(): This method returns whether the service requires its caller to persist it. The analytic returns true if the service needs to be persisted.

com.informatica.cep.sdk.service.AbstractPluggableAnalytic.setNeedsPersisting(): This method returns true if the service needs to be persisted.
