Speaking of Adapters...

The adapters are JAVA components responsible for platform communication with the application to be run. The applications can use standard adapters, which will be released in platform and will have the regular support process or they can be adapters developed under demand for varied applications.

The platform provides two standard adapters:

CommandLine – which allows the use of any application through the command line. This adapter has the standard parameter "WORKDIR", which has the same function of "Start in" in Windows shortcuts.

Web – which allows the use of Web applications. This adapter has the standard parameter "TARGET", which allows you to define the window where the page will be opened.

Datasul EMS2, EMS5, and HCM products provide an adapter for communication with platform, which allows accessing them through platform.

It is important to know that the adapters that directly access Datasul products (EMS/HCM) have the feature for controlling and managing the product sessions, avoiding unnecessary license consumption.

When the access to Datasul products is done through platform, you need to have Progress installed in the local machine.
