This blog is aimed at all important Adapter Framework modules with the examples in a single place. We have the option of specifying generic modules for every adapter that is configured in the communication channel. These modules equip the adapters with additional functions. The modules that are the basis of the adapter configuration on the Parameters tab page are located in the module processor and are displayed in the module processor once a communication channel has been created. We define the module processor on the Module tab page. Also we have the set of predefined adapter modules for the particular adapters. This Documentation link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/a4/f13341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/content.htm) will give the clear picture how to extend the module chain for the Adapters in the module processor.
