Purpose
In an SAP CRM system environment decentral components, known as
Sites, have to be connected to the central component permanently or temporarily so that messages can be exchanged.Each site is assigned to a site type. Sites of the same type use the same adapter for exchanging data between the CRM Server and the sites. There are a range of site types available for connecting mySAP components.
The central control component for the message exchange is part of the CRM Server. Special services and adapters are responsible for converting inbound and outbound messages.
