RNIF Adapters
Purpose
RNIF adapters support the data communication standard – RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet. This standard defines RNIF protocols version 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF adapters 1.1 and 2.0 are based on these protocols.
The adapters change the XI message format to the required RosettaNet message format. The adapters also change the format of messages from partner systems to the XI system.
You use RNIF adapters to send messages between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system.
For more information about RNIF, see www.rosettanet.org.
Implementation Considerations
You implement RNIF adapters when you want to communicate with partner systems that do not understand the XI message format.
Integration
RNIF adapters form part of the Adapter Engine, which is a component of the Integration Server. The following components describe the integration of RNIF adapter with other components:

Features
The RNIF adapters can perform the following tasks:
● Send messages from XI to a RosettaNet-compliant system.
● Receive messages from a RosettaNet-compliant system.
● Transport, package, and route all PIP messages, and business signals based on the relevant information retrieved at runtime from the Integration Repository and Integration Directory.
● Provide measures to enforce the security, authentication, authorization, confidentiality, and message integrity.
