Adapter Library Adapter Library InterSystems IRIS provides many adapters, and you can define your own. InterSystems IRIS provides adapters for the following scenarios: Email Receives email messages via the POP3 protocol and sends email messages via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).See Using Email Adapters in Productions. File Reads and writes files on the local network. Able to open, create, delete, modify, and move files. The file content can be character or binary data. See Using File Adapters in Productions.Also see Business Host Classes That Use File Adapters. FTP Receives and sends files between local and remote systems via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The file content can be characters or binary data. The adapters support FTP over TLS and SFTP.See Using FTP Adapters in Productions.Also see Business Host Classes That Use FTP Adapters. HTTP Provides an HTTP listener for custom port listening, XML listening, or raw HTML handling. Supports the standard HTTP operations Post, Get, Put, and Delete. Allows the use of proxy servers.See Using HTTP Adapters in Productions.Also see Business Host Classes That Use HTTP Adapters. LDAP The outbound LDAP adapter can send requests to an LDAP server and receive responses.See the EnsLib.LDAP.OutboundAdapterOpens in a new tab entry in the Class Reference. Managed File Transfer (MFT) The Managed File Transfer adapter allows you to send and receive files from Box, DropBox, and Kiteworks managed file services. MQSeries Receives and sends messages in IBM WebSphere MQ (MQ Series) format. Message content can be a specific data type or a binary data stream. The adapter can simply send the message, or send it and then pull the corresponding response from the message queue.See Using IBM WebSphere MQ Adapters in Productions. Pipe Able to execute a shell command and communicate with it via pipes. Capable of handling character data or a binary data stream.See the EnsLib.Pipe.InboundAdapterOpens in a new tab and EnsLib.Pipe.OutboundAdapterOpens in a new tab entries in the Class Reference. SAP Allows a production to interface with the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo).See Using the SAP Java Connector in Productions for details. Siebel A subclass of the HTTP adapter that sends requests to a Siebel server and returns responses.See the EnsLib.Siebel.HTTPOutboundAdapterOpens in a new tab entry in the Class Reference. SOAP Listens for SOAP requests on a local TCP port or via a standard web server. Dispatches outbound requests by acting as a SOAP client to an external SOAP server. In this special case, adapters are not necessarily involved.See Creating Web Services and Web Clients in Productions. SQL Executes SQL statements against a remote database via an ODBC-defined or JDBC-defined connection.See Using SQL Adapters in Productions. TCP Manages an incoming or outgoing TCP connection. Allows simultaneous handling of multiple connections. Supports character and binary data streams, and counted data blocks. The adapters also supported framed protocols.See Using TCP Adapters in Productions.Also see Business Host Classes That Use TCP Adapters. Telnet Directly initiates and manages a Telnet connection.See the EnsLib.Telnet.OutboundAdapterOpens in a new tab entry in the Class Reference. To use an adapter, you define a business host class that uses the adapter class. For a general description of this process, see Developing Productions. The topics in the previous list provide details that apply to the specific adapters.As noted previously, you can also define your own adapters. For information, see Developing Productions.
