Runtimes
Descriptions of Link runtime services.
- REST API
  The REST Runtme provides a REST API used to run maps and flows that have been deployed.
- Flow Command Server
  Deploy a flow from the HCL Link to the local filesystem using Execution flow server definition.
- Map Command Server
  To use the Map Command Server to execute a map, you will prepare the maps for execution.
  - Overview
    Map Command Server is used to develop, test, and execute maps in development environments. It can also be used to execute commands in production environments.
  - Executing a map
    After a map has been built for a specific execution platform and transferred, the map can be executed using a Map Command Server.
  - Troubleshooting tools
  - External interfaces for applications, EXIT and RUN
    Maps can interface with other maps, functions in libraries, or programs using the EXIT function, the RUN function or an adapter as a data source or target.
  - Windows platforms
    There are several activities you can do with the Map Command Server that you have installed on your Windows environment.
  - Execution commands
    This documentation includes information about the various ways to use execution commands and their options when executing maps. Execution commands are used to specify how to execute a map.
  - Utility commands
    You can use the utility commands to do various functions.
    - Troubleshooting
      After executing a utility command, a value is returned into the ERRORLEVEL environment variable indicating the success or failure of the execution. The ERRORLEVEL variable is a Windows™ environment variable that contains the return code of the last DOS command you executed.
- SDK
  The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.

Utility commands

You can use the utility commands to do various functions.

The functions you can perform using utility commands include the following:

Analyzing schema
Importing and exporting schema
Converting schema
Converting schema properties from bytes to characters
Compiling maps
Importing to and exporting map source files
Generating a map report HTML file containing information about a map source file
Deploying systems
Importing to and exporting systems
Calculating suggested memory page size and count for maps
Analyzing map execution behavior
Converting XML type definitions
Creating one map that can transform any input data into XML output, and a second map that can transform the XML that the first map produced into output data in a format described by the schema that you specified
Use the second map only when the schema that you specified was imported from a COBOL copybook.
Updating a resource or virtual server in MRN files
