- Flows
  This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
- Maps
  Maps define input and output specifications and mapping rules for data transformation.

    - Trace files
      - Trace for general data
        The trace file records map execution progress. You can enable the trace option from the map settings or from the adapter command line. You can trace the input data, the output data, or both.
      - Static file validation and tracing
        HCL Link validates a static input file in a compiled map only once, when the map loads, and produces a trace file only if the static file fails validation.
      - Trace for XML data
        Creating an XML trace file
        XML validation log
        Validation sequence
        Validation results
      - Trace for XML parser errors only
  - Error and warning messages
- 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.

Trace for XML data

An XML-formatted trace file that contains XML validation information can be created during map execution for maps that contain XML schemas. When enabled, the XML trace file (mapname_log.xml) is generated in the map directory in addition to the general trace file. The XML trace file is not generated when no input card is present in the map.

For maps that contain XML schemas (created using Xerces), the input XML validation information that is generated to the regular trace file (.mtr) or that is viewable on the Trace tab of the Organizer is not valid. See the XML trace file (mapname_log.xml) for accurate XML input validation information.

When viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the XML trace file:

Contains a validation log.
Displays the XML validation sequence.
Presents validation results.
When using a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer, only the content of the XML file is displayed.

Similar to the general trace, you must enable certain MapTrace settings to create an XML trace file.
