The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.
The C API enables applications to invoke maps and to develop adapters to use with HCL Link.
The following methods are supported by the adapter objects.
The Link programming interface is an object-oriented approach that enables applications to invoke HCL Link maps, thus removing reliance on command lines.
The map, card, and adapter object properties define the properties that can be set for each object. Use the C API interface methods to GET or SET the adapter object properties.
The following methods are supported by the C API map object.
The following methods are supported by the C API card object.
The C API uses different adapter object methods, including mpiAdaptGetCardObject.
The C API uses different adapter object methods, including mpiAdaptGetInputStreamObject.
The C API uses different adapter object methods, including mpiAdaptGetOutputStreamObject.
There are various methods you can use to load, run, and control maps when you use APIs with HCL Link.
The custom adapters interface makes it possible for users to develop adapters with as much functionality as those provided with the product.
Use the Python API to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Python program. For details, see the documentation installed in install_dir/python/api/hip/docs/html/index.html. Examples of the Python API are installed in install_dir/python/api/examples. Documentation for the Python API examples is available in install_dir/python/api/docs/html/examples.html.
The Java API interfaces enable you to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Java™ program.
The Java™ Tools provide objects and JNI utilities that you can use to get information about your map instances.
