About the HCL Link Resource Adapters, and how to use them.
This documentation describes the Actian Adapter.
Resource adapters are used to retrieve and route data. They provide access to databases, files, messaging systems, enterprise applications and other data sources and targets.
The Actian adapter provides access to Actian databases.
The Actian adapter is used in maps and flows to write rows of data to the specified database, or to fetch rows of data from the specified database.
The Actian adapter supports username and password-based authentication to establish the connections to the Actian database. The username and password credentials need to be specified in the User and Password properties in the connection definition for the adapter.
This section lists the properties and commands supported by the adapter.

With the Amazon SNS adapter, a user can access the Amazon Simple Notification Services. This adapter connects to the Simple Notification Services (SNS) topics, using AWS keys. The adapter can fetch and send notifications from and to those AWS SNS topics, to which the user has subscribed.
With the Amazon SQS or Amazon Simple Queue Service adapter, a user can access Amazon Simple Queue Services. The adapter connects to the fully managed Amazon Simple Queue Service system, using AWS keys. The SQS adapter can send and fetch messages to and from the queues to which a user has access.
The Batch File adapter processes a (Windows™) batch file as the data source of an input map card or the data target of an output map card. The Shell Script adapter processes a (UNIX™) shell script as the data source of an input map card or the data target of an output map card.
The Cipher adapter encrypts and decrypts data by using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A single cryptographic key enciphers (encrypts) and deciphers data. The cryptographic key is stored in a master key file (MKF) in an AES-based encrypted format. As long as the MKF is not compromised or lost, the enciphered data is cryptographically secure.
An email adapter automatically receives email messages as sources of a map or sends email messages as targets of a map.
Use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Adapter to transport data. When source data arrives at its target, it often must be transformed into a different format for a receiving application to use it successfully.

Use the Java Class Adapter to instantiate a Java™ object and to invoke a sequence of methods on the object.
The HL7 MLLP adapter uses the MLLP protocol over TCP/IP to pass data to and from HCL Link. The adapter has a listener interface that can detect the arrival of data on a socket and trigger a map to run. With the HL7 MLLP adapter, remote applications can pass data to HCL Link without using additional middleware software.
The JAXB adapter converts Java™ objects to XML and converts XML to Java objects. With the JAXB adapter, you can build Java objects that can be represented with XML, parse the objects, and use them in maps. The JAXB adapter supports all JAXB properties for marshalling and unmarshalling an XML document.
Use the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) adapter to query or update a database through the appropriate JDBC driver for the database.
Use the Java™ Message Service (JMS) Adapter as a client to any JMS-compliant messaging system provider.
Use the Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) Adapter to enable maps to look up, add, modify and delete entries in external directories, and retrieve the results that these operations return so that they can be reused in a map.
This documentation describes the MongoDB Adapter.
The OData (Open Data Protocol) adapter provides support for performing read and write operations on data sources that expose OData interface. OData adapter is an ISO/IEC approved, OASIS standard that defines a set of best practices for building and consuming RESTful APIs.
