Hi Ramesh,

You use the Adapter Engine to connect the Integration Engine to SAP systems (RFC adapter) and external systems. You use the various adapters in the Adapter Engine to convert XML- and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocol and format required by these systems, and the other way around.

Details:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/d906d01f77fa40a4c84683c3f8326f/frameset.htm

A good document:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b8adc3-728c-2a10-7fad-d43f2907...

The Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Adapter Engine.

Chk out this to differenciate central adapter engine and local adapter engine:

The Adapter Engine is based on the adapter framework.

If you wanna chk our Adapter Framework:

The Adapter Framework is the basis of the Adapter Engine. The Adapter Framework is based on the SAP J2EE Engine (as part of the SAP Web Application Server) and the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA). The Adapter Framework provides interfaces for configuration, management, and monitoring of adapters.

The Adapter Framework has its own queuing and logging services. This means that you can run the Adapter Engine temporarily without a connection to the Integration Server.

dETAILS:

The Adapter Framework provides various service application programming interfaces that support adapter implementation.
