Overview of the R/3 adapters
Both client and server functionality is supported within an R/3 adapter. An R/3 adapter contains the Remote Function Calls (RFCs) necessary to pass inbound and outbound data to and from SAP R/3. The adapter includes transparent integration of the RFCs so that it is not necessary to possess detailed knowledge about the RFCs. The adapters also manage transactional information such as message transaction IDs (TIDs) as needed. This feature ensures seamless integration with SAP R/3 and also provides a robust auditing mechanism.
The R/3 adapters used to interface with the SAP R/3 application are:
