The Managed Adapters in the above table are generic, "out-of-the-box" adapters that you do not have to install and are not configured for a specific task. You can, however, create an instance of a predefined Managed Adapter and use the Adapter Configurator and Map Configurator to configure and map it to your specifications, or create your own Managed Adapters with predefined configuration, using the Managed Adapter Browser in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge (for more information, see "Using the Managed Adapter Browser" in the OpenEdge Getting Started: Developing BPM Applications with Developer Studio) or the Map Configurator.
