To answer such basic questions you need to read the documentation on map design and type tree design and adapters. You should also attend a training course.

1 Resource adapters are used to retrieve and route data. They provide access to
databases, files, messaging systems, enterprise applications and other data
sources and targets.
Each adapter includes a set of adapter commands that can be used to customize
its operation. Use the adapter commands to specify different queues and queue
managers, specific messages by message ID, specific sets of messages with the
same message ID, message descriptors in your data, and more.

2 Resource adapters answer the questions "Where should the data come from?" and
"Where should the data go?"
