In addition to the central Advanced Adapter Engine, non-central Advanced Adapter Engines can be installed on an SAP NetWeaver AS Java without Integration Engines. There may be any number of non-central Advanced Adapter Engines, each associated with exactly one Integration Server with which the Advanced Adapter Engine communicates using the XI protocol.

After the installation of a non-central Advanced Adapter Engine, basic configuration is required. You can use a wizard to carry out this basic configuration.

Additional manual configuration options are described under Advanced Adapter Engine.
