Design Server
The documentation provided here describes how to use the Design Server.
- Projects
  This documentation describes Design Server projects.
- Schemas
- Maps
- Flows
  A flow node invokes a sub flow within a flow. Sub-flows need not be wired to other nodes; it is valid to have a flow that is comprised of multiple sub-flows that each have listeners.
- Using Design Server
  How to use the HCL Link Design Server.
- Flows
  This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
- Schema designer
  Use the schema designer to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
  - About schemas
    A schema defines the contents of at least one input that you intend to map or one output you intend to map.
  - Subtypes
  - Schema hierarchy
  - Defining data
  - Objects, types, and classes
  - Testing part of a schema
    You can test a schema by generating test data for an item or a group. The schema designer creates source and compiled maps that generate and validate the test data. The test-data-generation map automatically runs and produces a text file with the sample data. After that, the test-data-validation map automatically runs on the sample data file.

Indefinite number

When there is no maximum number of occurrences of a component (the maximum is indefinite) use the letter s to stand for Some - you do not know how many. Therefore, a file that contains at least one record and has no maximum number of records has this component:

Record(1:s)

If the range minimum is zero, omit the 0 and only enter s. If a file has a minimum of zero records and no maximum number of records, it would have this as its component:

Record(s)

Remember that when you see (s), the minimum of zero is implied. Therefore,

Record(0:s) is the same as Record(s)

If you enter any number alone in the parentheses, the range changes to a minimum of 0 and a maximum of that number. For example, if you enter (5) for a range and save and close the group view, the next time you open it, you see the range displays:

(0:5)
