Runtimes
Descriptions of Link runtime services.
- REST API
  The REST Runtime 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.
- SDK
  The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.
  - Link programming interface overview
    The Link programming interface is an object-oriented approach that enables applications to invoke HCL Link maps, thus removing reliance on command lines.
  - C API
    The C API enables applications to invoke maps and to develop adapters to use with HCL Link.
    - C API interface methods overview
      The map, card, and adapter object properties define the properties that can be set for each object. Use the C API interface methods to GET or SET the adapter object properties.
    - Object methods
    - Loading, running, and controlling maps
      There are various methods you can use to load, run, and control maps when you use APIs with HCL Link.
      - Loading and running maps
        Use the following methods to load specific maps, refresh maps when the maps have changed, and run maps.
        mpiMapLoadFile
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapLoadFile.
        mpiMapLoadMemory
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapLoadMemory.
        mpiMapRefresh
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapLoadRefresh.
        mpiMapReloadFile
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapReloadFile.
        mpiMapReloadMemory
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapReloadMemory.
        mpiMapRun
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapRun.
        mpiMapUnload
        The C API uses different methods to load, run, and control maps, including mpiMapUnload.
      - Controlling and monitoring maps
        These methods allow map execution to be controlled from another thread and to report map progress.
      - Initialization and termination methods
        The following methods initialize the environment required for running maps and clean up the environment after the map run is complete.
      - Callbacks
        An API application uses callback to receive logging messages on a per-map basis or for global logging based on HCL Link initialization.
      - C API examples
        The examples included with the C API are located in the following directory: install_dir\examples\dk\dtxpi\c
    - Custom adapters
      The custom adapters interface makes it possible for users to develop adapters with as much functionality as those provided with the product.
  - Python API
    Use the Python API to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Python program. For details, see the documentation installed in install_dir/python/api/hip/docs/html/index.html. Examples of the Python API are installed in install_dir/python/api/examples. Documentation for the Python API examples is available in install_dir/python/api/docs/html/examples.html.
  - Java API
    The Java API interfaces enable you to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Java™ program.
  - Java Tools
    The Java™ Tools provide objects and JNI utilities that you can use to get information about your map instances.
