Oracle Application Server Adapter Overview

The Oracle Application Adapters CD for Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) enables you to install packaged application adapters.

Packaged application adapters integrate Oracle WebLogic Server with various packaged applications, such as SAP R/3 and Siebel. These adapters include Oracle Application Adapter for PeopleSoft, Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3, Oracle Application Adapter for Siebel, and Oracle Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards OneWorld.

Table 1-1 describes the packaged application adapters.
