This document provides a brief overview of the Enterprise Manager product and its architecture and then describes each of the subsystems that provide interfaces for extending the product features for a new or customized target type.

Each section provides an overview of the particular subsystem and describes the features it exposes to Enterprise Manager end-users, and the ways in which plug-in developers may leverage the provided interfaces to support those features for new target types being added to Enterprise Manager.

This document is not a reference guide and as such does not include details of these interfaces including API details. Refer to Oracle Enterprise Manager Extensibility Reference Guide and individual API Documentation for those details.
