Learn about HCL Link services, projects, flows, maps and schemas.
Schemas specify the format of data witin HCL Link maps and flows.
Use the schema designer to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
The documentation provided here defiens the main artifacts in HCL Link. It is necessar to understand what these artifacts are and the relationship between them.
Service definitions define REST services and the endpoints of a service.
A project is a container for HCL Link artifacts.
A HCL Link flow is a transactional data flow comprised of processing nodes.
A HCL Link map defines how to generate data that complies to a specific schema. A map can have any number of inputs and outputs.
A schema defines the contents of at least one input that you intend to map or one output you intend to map.
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.
This documentation describes connections and actions.
Files are used in various places within HCL Link. HCL Link allows files to be uploaded to the HCL Linkserver.
Flow variables provide a means of passing information throughout a flow instance without requiring that the information to be passed through data links. flow variables are name-value pairs that persist, unless deleted.
Cache variables provide a means of processing information throughout a flow instance without requiring that the information to be passed through data links.
Where Used shows how and where the type is used within other types in the schema.
