WebSphere Business Integration Adapters

WebSphere Business Integration Adapters consist of a collection of software, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and tools to enable applications to exchange business data through an integration broker.

Each business application requires its own application-specific adapter to participate in the business integration process. You can install, configure, and test the adapter using current WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework and Development Kit System Manager tools.

You can use IBM Integration Designer to import existing business objects and connector configuration files, to generate artifacts, and to assemble the solution for IBM BPM.

Operational commands for the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters are part of the administrative console.
