Interfaces (Adapter Usage)

The Adapter Usage Interfaces view shows detailed information about specific interfaces that use particular adapter technologies. This view appears when you drill down from the Adapter Usage Overview by clicking on adapter counts or using adapter filters.

Navigate to Reporting → Adapter Usage → Interfaces to access detailed interface listings filtered by adapter technology.

Came from Overview? This view shows interfaces for the adapter you selected. Use filters to refine results or return to Adapter Usage Overview for the technology distribution summary.

Interfaces Overview

Adapter Usage Interfaces displays a detailed table of interfaces using specific adapter technologies, allowing you to analyze which interfaces implement particular adapters and their configurations.

*Adapter Usage Interfaces showing detailed interface list with Interface names, Types and specific Adapter implementations*

What you see:

Interface details table with interface names, types, and adapter specifications
Adapter filter to focus on specific adapter technologies
Data Source filter to analyze specific integration platforms
Environment filter to switch between Production, Test, Development views
Sortable columns for organizing interface information

Using Interface Information

Interface table provides detailed information about adapter usage at the interface level:

Column	Description	Purpose
Interface	Interface name (clickable blue links)	Navigate to detailed interface analysis
Type	Integration platform type (SAP_IS_CI, SAP_IDOC, SAP_PO)	Understand source platform
Adapters	Specific adapter implementation details	See exact adapter configuration

How to use the interface data:

Interface names (blue links):

Click "TEST Receive Messages" → Navigate to detailed interface documentation
Click "ALMCLNT001 | LS | | EXCHANGE_RATE | IN" → View specific interface configuration
Click any interface name to access comprehensive interface details

Type classifications:

SAP_IS_CI → SAP Integration Suite (Cloud Integration) interfaces
SAP_IDOC → SAP ABAP Backend IDoc interfaces
SAP_PO → SAP Process Orchestration interfaces

Adapter specifications:

ProcessDirect - XI → Internal processing with XI protocol
IDOC → SAP IDoc adapter implementation
HTTP_AAE - HTTP_AAE → HTTP adapter configuration
O365_File - SFTP → Office 365 file transfer via SFTP

Filtering and Analysis

Filter options help you focus on specific adapter technologies and environments:

Adapter Filter:

Select specific adapter types to see only interfaces using that technology
Useful for impact analysis when planning adapter migrations or updates
Compare usage patterns across different adapter technologies

Data Source Filter:

Filter by integration platform (SAP Cloud Integration, SAP PO, etc.)
Analyze adapter usage patterns within specific technology stacks
Support platform-specific modernization planning

Environment Filter:

Switch between Production, Test, Development environments
Compare adapter usage across different landscape tiers
Validate deployment consistency across environments

Analysis workflow:

Use filters to focus on specific adapter types or platforms
Review interface names to understand business context
Click interface links to investigate specific implementations
Analyze adapter patterns to identify standardization opportunities

Adapter Interface (Selected)

When you click any blue interface name, you'll see the Interface Details view with comprehensive information about that specific interface.

*Detailed interface view showing Basic Data, Reporting & Metadata, Tags, Objects, Properties, and Description for the selected interface*

What you see after clicking an interface:

Interface name header with the specific interface identifier
Basic Data section showing Name, Type, Data Source, Sender, and Receiver
Reporting & Metadata section with Adapter, Last Traffic, Robustness and Timing details
Tags section for business object classifications
Objects section for associated business objects
Properties section for additional metadata
Description section for interface documentation

Key information displayed:

Adapter type (e.g. IDOC) confirming the adapter technology
Last Traffic showing recent activity (e.g. 2025-06-23 09:26:42)
Robustness score indicating interface stability (e.g. 25.00)
Timing schedule showing execution frequency (e.g., Monthly)
System context via Sender and Receiver information

Use the interface details to:

Verify adapter implementation and configuration specifics
Assess interface health through robustness and traffic data
Understand business context via sender/receiver and object mappings
Document interface specifications using the description field

Adapter Usage Insights

Interface-level analysis helps with:

Migration planning:
