The adapter XML acts as a second layer between FDM and the target application. The XML stores application setup parameters and options and scripts that call API functions and returns the results from the target application. The XML may also contain the information required to configure a FDM application (locations, security, import formats, reports, and so on).
You access the Adapters menu from the Workbench desktop by selecting the Adapters tab at the bottom of the left pane.
Each adapter listed in the Integration Adapters pane contains the following sections:
