Hi,

Adapters are used to convert the Sender Application Data Format into XML and Vice versa.this has to be needed because XI can understand only XML language.

This will be possible by the help of adapters.

Sender Adapter will take the sender application format into XML and procees it in XI then Again the receiver adapter will comvert that xml into Receiver application format

List of adapters used in XI are.

1) file

2) Idoc

3)RFC

4)HTTP

5)SOAP

6)Mail

To view the list of Adapters those are installed in your XI server

Goto Runtime Workbench-Component monitoring-Click on display--Select Adapter Engine-Display List of adapters

Here u will be able to see all the adapters
