Resource Adapters
Resource adapters are used to retrieve and route data. They provide access to databases, files, messaging systems, enterprise applications and other data sources and targets. Each adapter includes a set of adapter commands that can be used to customize its operation. Adapter commands specify different queues and queue managers, specific messages by message ID, specific sets of messages with the same message ID, message descriptors in the data, and more.
Resource adapters answer the question "Where should have the data come from?" and "Where should the data go?".
The resource adapters provided with many integration products enable data transformation and adapter-specific behavior recognition on different systems and data structures.
