Link Components

Link windows installation has the following components:

  • A Link design time, used to design Schemas, Maps and Flows. The Link designtime is a Web based application, runs on a Node.js Application Server and on a Tomcat Application Server.Link design time is also referred by the Windows Link installer as “Design Server”.
  • A Link runtime (REST API), used to run Maps and Flows, runs on a Tomcat Application Server.
  • A Link design time MongoDB Database that stores User accounts and Link Map and Flow designs. The database requires the MongoDB server to be available before installation is started. Optionally OneDB can be used instead of MongoDB.
  • A Link design time execution engine, the runtime that runs designed Maps and Flows directly from the Link Web User Interface.
  • A Redis server, is used by the Link runtime and design-time for communication purposes. The Link windows installer installs Redis server as default option. Link can be configured to use preinstalled Redis server.

Windows Link installation typically installs runtime and design time, you can customize the installation and select to install Link runtime or design time.
