Central vs Non-central adapter engine.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Can any one tell me how can I find out whether central or non-central adapter engine is configured in my XI system.

Is there any difference between accessing the central and non-central adapter engine cofiguration screen.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Hi,

Central adapter engine is used for conversion of objects within a single sld.

A decentral adapter engine is used when we need to connect to other applicaton systems through a firewall.

Xi does not provide any such security, so in order to ensure security and to allow minimal access to out sld and other objects we use an external adapter engine(a decentralised adapter engine).

An example of using a decentralised AE would be when we connect the PCK

I donot think there will be any difference in accessing that in communication channel?
