The PD2 Adapter is a mechanism to insert and extract PD2 data in standard eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format
Standard XML format is defined by Document Type Definitions (DTDs)
DTDs are defined for Awards, PRs, Quotes, etc.
The PD2 Adapter is built using the webMethods Product Suite
Versions of wM are (SR13), 8.2 (SR14)

8. Outgoing Transaction Flow
An example of data being extracted from the PD² database is represented here.

9. Outgoing Transaction Flow (cont.)
A document is released in PD²
The document gets inserted into the PD2 Buffer table
The MultiPoll scheduler polls the buffer table for data to be extracted
Documents are only extracted if the corresponding event is configured and enabled in the event subscription table
If extracted successfully, will show up in MWS
The pd2_buffer_pmo table, also known as the buffer table, acts as an outbound document queue. It stores outbound document IDs and events that were captured by a database trigger.

10. Information Exchange
Integrations enable information exchange between PD² and External Systems
