SAP XI provides a set of adapters to connect SAP as well as non-SAP applications with each other and thus to enable them to participate in the exchange of XML messages. An adapter is required to connect other applications or technical systems, or to participate in B2B communication via specific industry standards like RosettaNet.

These partner adapters are sold and delivered through SAP.
