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.

Shaping

Text shaping is the concept of combining or separating characters where possible. The Arabic usage is with ligatures (such as the LAM, ALEF, and LAM-ALEF characters). For example, in a non-shaped word, both LAM and ALEF characters would appear separately. In a shaped word, the two characters would be replaced with a single LAM-ALEF character.

Numeric shaping is the idea that normal regular numerals (0–9) can be shaped to be Arabic-Indic

Examples

Ù„ = LAM
ïº = ALEF
Û™ï»» = LAM ALEF
