The CIDX adapter supports Chem eStandards, a standard published by Chemical Industry Data Exchange used for collaborative commerce on the internet in the chemical industry.
The CIDX adapter is based on the Chem eStandards Envelope and Security Specifications, which refer to an extended subset of RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) version 1.1, with certain deviations from this framework.
You use the CIDX adapter for message exchange with a Chem eStandards Business Transaction-compliant system in a cross-company process. For a description of which configuration objects you must create in the Integration Directory, see the section on Business-to-Business (B2B) processes in SAP NetWeaver Library under SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.
The CIDX adapter supports the single-action asynchronous business transaction pattern.
For more information about CIDX, see www.cidx.org.
When you have installed the Advanced Adapter Engine Extended (AEX), integration processes cannot be used. Therefore, the following restriction applies with regard to the usage of the CIDX business packages: those scenarios of the business package that use integration processes are not supported in that case.
