Third Party Adapter

[Former Member]

We are planning to Install Ariba Adapter to interact with our Supplier Network.

Whether Ariba adapter will be installed insisde the Integration Server in the adapter Engine or its going to be outside the IS.

If we install Ariba, whether there is no Message Mapping is needed(Because Ariba says it comes with the Mapping)

Thanks.

Mohan,

Usually all these third-party developed adapters also developed pre-defined business content with mappings, but this does not mean that all the interfaces you have can use it. If you do not have any custom work, then you can automate it, but if there is custom work then you have to enhance or develop new maps.

For example, Seeburger has over 20 maps to convert EDI X12 to standard IDoc maps and vice-versa (INVOIC Idoc to 4010 etc).

Any questions let me know.

Hi Mohan,

I think it should be a part of Adapter Engine. But even there is a Decentral Adapter Engine Concept...

Also look into this guide for-
