About Adapter Listeners
An adapter listener is an object that uses an adapter connection to connect to an adapter resource and wait for the resource to deliver data when an event occurs on the resource. Listeners work with listener notifications to detect and process event data on the adapter resource. When you create an adapter listener notification, you specify the adapter listener that the adapter uses to connect to the adapter resource.
You use Integration Server Administrator to create and manage adapter listeners. In Designer, you can view information about an adapter listener by clicking the adapter listener in Package Navigator view. For information about creating adapter listeners, see the documentation provided with the adapter.
