How does the Oracle InForm Adapter feature work?

The Oracle InForm Adapter feature is a collection of interfaces for Oracle applications, other client processes, or third-party products, that require data exchange with, or updates from, Oracle InForm studies.

• Each integrated application or process sends requests to the appropriate Oracle InForm Adapter interface.
• The interface interacts with the Oracle InForm Server Adapter (ISA) interface on the InForm server.
• The Oracle InForm Adapter interface communicates with the Oracle InForm application server to perform the requested task through a COM interface.
• Certain interfaces interact directly with the Oracle InForm study database, as necessary, when retrieving information.

• InForm Adapter deployment
  You install the Oracle InForm Adapter server on the same computer as the Oracle InForm application server. Oracle recommends creating the Oracle InForm Adapter database schema in the Oracle InForm database.
