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.

    - Logical analysis
      Logical analysis addresses the integrity of the relationships that you define.
    - Structural analysis
      Structural analysis addresses the integrity of the underlying database.

  - Distinguishable objects
  - Return codes and error messages

Mapping effects

The analyzer helps you define your data by locating objects in your input data and creating the objects in your output data. The analysis indicates whether there is something in your definition that may prevent a correct mapping of your data.

If you do not analyze a tree before you map the data or you analyze a tree and do not resolve the errors, you will be warned that you may receive unpredictable results when you map.
