CIDX Adapter 

Purpose

The CIDX Adapter supports Chem eStandards, a standard published by Chemical Industry Data Exchange used for collaborative commerce over 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.

The CIDX Adapter is used for sending messages between the Integration Server and a Chem eStandards Business Transaction-compliant system by transforming the Exchange Infrastructure (XI) message format into a CIDX transaction message format and so on.

When receiving a message from the external partner using Chem eStandards, the CIDX Adapter transforms the message protocol into a message protocol that is understood by the Integration Server and sends the message to the Integration Server for further processing.

To send a message from XI to a receiving external partner, the CIDX Adapter accepts the message from the Integration Server transforms the message protocol from XI to a Chem eStandards message and sends the message to the external partner.

The CIDX adapter supports the Single-Action Asynchronous business transaction pattern.

Integration

The CIDX Adapter runs on behalf of an adapter engine. The inbound CIDX Adapter is located before the Integration Engine pipeline, and calls this pipeline while the outbound CIDX Adapter is called by the pipeline.
