Check your version of OD Developer’s Guide.

Payload Adapters framework allows OD Base Server to get Files directly from Repositories other than
OS/IW File Systems, like for example IBM ClearCase repository. In other words, PAs extend OD retention(source)
capabilities.

Delivery Adapters extend the content delivery (target) capabilities of OpenDeploy. This is application specific,
you can do pretty much anything with received Files.

Some Adapters and samples are coming OTB. Vendor also provides an API to code your own Adapters.
