The Integration Server provides you with adapters that are built around industry standards and that therefore simplify communication.

      The industry standards support within Process Integration focuses on supporting RosettaNet-based scenarios that are standardized for the High Tech industry

Process Integration provides the RNIF Adapter, which supports RosettaNet-based communication between business partners.

RosettaNet’s standardization effort essentially involves the alignment of business processes between trading partners in a given supply chain. RosettaNet specifies these as Partner Interface Process (PIP) specifications.

The solution will enable an application, which implements a private business process, to interact with a business partner in conformance to a specific PIP.

      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.

Given below is a representation of the architecture when industry standard adapters are involved.
