Adapter Metadata
Use
With adapter
metadata you can define configuration data needed for a certain type of
adapter at design time. Adapter metadata defines the part of a
Communication
Channel that is specific to the adapter type.
The functions for creating and editing adapter metadata are intended for parties developing new adapters. They are not intended for general use.

To export adapter metadata, choose Adapter Metadata → Export XML Description in the object menu bar.
