Hi Vamsi,

Adapter modules are required to enhance the functionality of SAP XI.

Enhancements like.

1. Converting the payload (not covered with standards)

2. Changing encoding

3. Encryption and decryption

4. Creating and merging of additional attachments

Hi

Simple when you want to achieve something which is not achieved by the normal functionality of an adapter.

Thanks

Consider a business scenario where the input file content has to verified for the debit and credit entries are balanced, the number of records in the file match with the trailer count etc. and these validations might be common for other interfaces also running in the same organization

The standard XI file adapter (sender) will not be able to validate the contents of the file when its reading the file. So in this case, we can use an adapter module ( java code ) to validate the file when it is being read itself and decide whether its valid or not.

Another example might be that you want to zip the output. you can do this using adapter modules
