Flows
This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
Nodes
Source and Target Nodes
Source and Target Nodes provide HCL Link with an outside-in approach to developing integrations.
Source Node
The Source Node has a single output terminal. This node supports watches if the selected connection type supports watches.

- Flows
  This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
  - Nodes
    - Map Node
      A Map Node invokes an HCL Link map within a flow.
    - Flow Node
      A Flow node invokes a sub-flow within a flow.
    - Source and Target Nodes
      Source and Target Nodes provide HCL Link with an outside-in approach to developing integrations.
      - Source Node
        The Source Node has a single output terminal. This node supports watches if the selected connection type supports watches.
      - Target Node
        The Target Node has a single input terminal and a single output terminal.
    - Request Node
      The Request Node has a single input request terminal and a single output response terminal.
    - Cache Read and Write Nodes
      Cache Read and Cache Write node functionality is described in this section.
    - Clone Node
      The Clone Node has one input and two output terminals.
    - Decision Node
      The Decision Node routes input data to the true, or false terminals depending upon the condition.
    - Fail Node
      The Fail Node causes the flow execution to fail.
    - Format Converter Node
      The Format Converter Node can be used to quickly convert data from one format to another.
    - JSON Read Node
      This documentation describes the function and use of the JSON Read Node.
    - JSON Transform Node
      The JSON Transform node is used to transform JSON documents from one form to another.
    - Java Node
      The Java Node invokes a Java class, thus performing user defined functionality based on the properties specified for the Java class to act on the input.
    - Join Node
      The Join Node gathers the individual results and appends to a single output file or terminal.
    - Log Node
      The Log Node logs the raw data from the node input into the file and propagates the data from the input to the output terminal.
    - Passthrough Node
      The Passthrough Node propagates data from the input to the output terminal.
    - REST Client Node
      The REST Client Node provides a simple and powerful way to access REST services.
    - Route Node
      The Route Node provides a way to route data conditionally to one or more outputs of the node. The node bases decisions by evaluating a condition for a flow variable and determining whether to send the data to output 1 or 2 or both, based on the result of the condition.
    - Sleep Node
      The Sleep Node suspends the execution of the flow for the specified number of milliseconds
    - Split Node
      A Split Node should be used when there is a need to split CSV data processing. This might occur when CSV data processing becomes excessively time consuming.
  - Terminals
  - Flow terminals
    Flow terminals represent the inputs and outputs to a flow. Every node has input and/or ouptut terminals.
  - Scheduled flows
    This documentation describes the options for defining the flow schedule.
  - Listener
    A Flow that has a Map node as its first node, and uses a File adapter for an input, can enable that node's input to be a Watch.
  - Flow audits
    Flow audits are a way to retrieve more verbose information about a flow instance.
  - Flow variables
    Flow Variables are process data variables that go along with the flow execution, accessible to all nodes in the flow while it is being executed under flow executor/engine context.
  - Create a flow
    Steps required to create a flow.
  - Running flows in the Designer
    When you develop a flow in the Flow Designer you can run the flow directly from the Designer either in Link, or on a different runtime environment.
- Maps
  Maps define input and output specifications and mapping rules for data transformation.
- Schemas
  Use the schema designer to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
- Connections and Actions
  This documentation describes connections and actions.
- Files
  Files are used in various places within HCL Link. HCL Link allows files to be uploaded to the HCL Linkserver.

Source Node

The Source Node has a single output terminal. This node supports watches if the selected connection type supports watches.

A Source node has an input terminal. By having an input terminal, it enables the existing watch mechanism and allows the input to be overridden, such as when running the flow from when you want to bypass the node and pass data from a file instead.

This node supports success, error, and log terminals.
