Hi,

The main use of adapters are to transform the incoming message into Xi-SOAP format..or to transform the XI-SOAP message into legacy systems format.

XI can understand only XI-SOAP formatted messages.When a Thirdparty System send messages to XI the adapter converts it to XI-SOAP format and sends it to Integration Engine.This is the main work of adapter.

In XI, we can categorise the adapters as follows:

<b>Technical Adapter:</b>

File,

HTTP,

SOAP,

JDBC,

Mail,

JMS

<b>SAP Application Adapters:</b>

RFC

IDoc.

<b>Non-SAP Application Adapters:</b>

Oracle,

Seibel,

PeopleSoft

<b>Industry Standard Adapters:</b>

CIDX,

RosettaNet,

EDI, etc.
