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.
- SDK
  The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.

Map Command Server

To use the Map Command Server to execute a map, you will prepare the maps for execution.

For installation information, see the release notes. Before using the Map Command Server after you have installed it, test your installation by running an example map. To see how to test your installation on a specific platform, see the platform-specific topic.

Environment variables may need to be set to execute the map command server. These variables can be set with a setup script which is appropriate for the installation platform. Additional information on special environment variables is given as necessary in other help sections.

On Windows, DTXcommon.bat can be executed before executing a map command server command line. DTXcommon.bat is in the primary Link installation directory.

For a native Linux installation, the setup script should be sourced before executing a map command server command line. The setup script is in the root directory for Link binaries which is created after installation. An example of sourcing the setup script and executing the map command server is given below:

$ cd <Link post-installation directory for native binaries, e.g., tomcat-context/install>

$ . ./setup

$ dtxcmdsv -?
