Webmethods Adaptors

Adapters provide connectivity between software applications and the webMethods Integration Platform, linking and integrating various information resources. The webMethods adapter platform offers extensive connectivity through a wide range of pre-built adapters for enterprise applications, databases, messaging middleware, application platforms, and other resources. Adapters allow non-invasive integration through advanced features like cross-referencing and synchronization. They are configured graphically without needing to understand low-level application details, and can reconfigure themselves through intelligent introspection of application metadata. A custom adapter development kit also allows creating adapters for unsupported applications.

Topics

Adaptors Overview
Why do we need them ?

Adapters provide connectivity to


information resources, seamlessly
linking and integrating them to the
webMethods Integration Platform.

Features:

 Extensive connectivity- The industry's broadest selection of adapters, with


pre-built connectivity to a wide spectrum of software applications and
resources:

 Enterprise applications - The leading enterprise application packages such


as SAP R/3, Siebel, Oracle, J.D. Edwards, PeopleSoft and many more.

 Databases - Native support for Oracle, DB2, SQL Server and other
databases, as well as ODBC and JDBC

 Messaging middleware - Connectivity to common messaging middleware,


including MQSeries, MSMQ, and JMS

 Application platforms - Integration with J2EE and .NET

 Other - Support for flat files, email, LDAP, etc.

 Non-invasive functionality. Advanced features - including key cross-referencing,


bi-directional synchronization- enable complex integration requirements to be
supported with minimal effort, while requiring no changes to existing
applications.

 Graphical configuration. Visual configuration of the operations performed by an


adapter eliminates the need to understand low-level application details.

 Introspection. Intelligent introspection into the application's meta-data allows


adapters to reconfigure themselves and adapt to application customizations.

 Custom adapter development kit. The adapter development kit accelerates


development of custom adapters for applications not supported by an out-the-box
adapter. The same framework is used by webMethods to build its adapters.

JDBC Adapter Features

 Adapter Connection : Enables the Integration Server to connect to


database systems at run time.

 Adapter Service: Enables the Integration Server to initiate and


perform database operations on a database.

 Adapter notification: Monitors a database and notifies the


Integration Server when an action (not initiated by the Integration
Server) has occurred on a particular database table.
