Projects
A project is a container for HCL Link artifacts.
- 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.
- Schemas
  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.

  Files are used in various places within HCL Link. HCL Link allows files to be uploaded to the HCL Linkserver.

Determining if a component is initiator-distinguishable from its following set

A component is initiator-distinguishable from its following set if:

The component is not a member of the identifier set and
The type of the component has an initiator and
The following set is empty or
The type of the component is initiator-distinguishable from each type in its following set.

Schemas are analyzed to determine if components are initiator-distinguishable. Each implicit sequence group, choice group, and unordered group is analyzed to determine if their components are initiator-distinguishable. A component is marked as initiator-distinguishable when that component is initiator-distinguishable from its following set. The basis for this determination is found in "Determining If Two Types are Initiator-Distinguishable" .
