The Adapter Runtime provides a common framework for webMethods adapters to use webMethods Integration Server’s functionality, making Integration Server the run-time environment for the adapters. The Adapter Runtime functionality is delivered as the WmART package. The WmART package provides
logging, transaction management and error handling for adapter connections, services, notifications, and listeners. Each webMethods adapter is provided as a separate package that has a dependency on the WmART package.
