Adapters

All enterprise services and publish channels are defined within an adapter, which is a set of related programs, mappings, and controls.

The default adapter is the MAXIMO adapter. If necessary, you can add new enterprise services and publish channels to the existing adapter and create adapters. First, determine whether you must create an adapter or you can use the predefined MAXIMO adapter.

Adapters have the following characteristics:
  • Services and channels can be grouped within an adapter.
  • Any adapter can work with interface tables and web services.

You maintain adapters in the Adapter Domain window, which you access in the Domains application. You can create multiple adapters, if necessary.
