Rosettanet Standards and RNIF adapter

  RosettaNet industry standards provide business frameworks that allow individual companies to enhance the interoperability of business processes across the global supply chain.

  These standards transcend proprietary solutions in the marketplace. In fact, RosettaNet leverages existing protocols, guidelines and specifications to quickly create standards for efficient business communication across multiple platforms, applications and networks.

  RosettaNet standards are global. They prescribe how to implement collaborative business processes between supply-chain trading partners using networked applications. These specifications include the business process definitions and technical elements for interoperability and communication.

  RosettaNet standards are developed by users for users, facilitating speed, efficiency and reliability, enabling greater collaboration and improved communication between trading partners. By streamlining the exchange of business information, companies reduce costs while also realizing gains associated with inventory reduction, order processing time, product cycle time-to-market and customer satisfaction.

  The RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) Core Specification is the packaging, routing, and transport of all PIP messages and business signals.

  RNIF adapters support the data communication standard – RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet. This standard defines RNIF protocols version 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF adapters 1.1 and 2.0 are based on these protocols.

  The adapters change the XI message format to the required RosettaNet message format. The adapters also change the format of messages from partner systems to the XI system.

  You use RNIF adapters to send messages between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system.
