Respond to Adapter Request

Activity

The Respond to Adapter Request activity is used to send a response to an adapter for a previously received request. For example, you may have a Wait for Adapter Request activity in a process definition. The incoming adapter request may require a response from your process. The Respond to Adapter Request is used to send that response.
