Overview of the adapter

This chapter describes the IBM WebSphere Business Integration adapter for Lotus Domino and the associated system architecture.

The adapter for Lotus Domino consists of an adapter and the adapter framework. The adapter framework is the software that IBM provides to configure and run an adapter. Together, the adapter and adapter framework enable a Lotus Domino server to exchange information with the integration broker, InterChange Server Express.

The adapter for Lotus Domino enables integration with Lotus Domino Server versions R5 (5.0.3 and above) and R6 (6.5 and below). It is not compatible with earlier versions of Lotus Domino. Each Domino server requires its own instance of the Lotus Domino adapter. However, a single adapter instance can support multiple databases on the same server.

For more information about the relationship of the integration broker to the adapter, see the System Administration Guide.
