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.

Format

You can define a date-time format from within the type properties, except for native schema XML.

The output format for the native schema XML date/time field is always:

{CCYY-MM-DD}T{HH24:MM:SS.3-3+/-ZZ:ZZ}

To specify a different output format, use Xerces XML instead.

To define the Date & Time format:

Open the type properties.
In the Item Subclass > Format property, click the browse button.
The Date Time dialog box is displayed.
Make your format selections and click OK.
You can use alphabetical characters as separators. In the example, 2001-04-02T10:32:59-0500, T is the separator.

Separators are limited to 60 characters.

Supported date formats:

CCYYMMDD
YYMMDD
MMDDCCYY
MMDDYY
CCYYDDD
YYDDD
DDMMCCYY
DDMMYY
