Several advanced capabilities follow from the metadata driven nature of the adapters. They include the following.
Also, we saw earlier that the adapter framework can handle synchronous and asynchronous operations in either direction. Business objects, in turn, may be used in either direction. To create a business object, you simply use graphical tools and wizards to introspect application metadata.
Taken together, these features provide a sophisticated yet simple means of accommodating the exchange of business data with an EIS using only one adapter, and without coding.
