Design environment
With the Integration Platform design environment, you can develop event-driven application-to-application (A2A) integration, business-to-business (B2B) integration, and consumer-to-business (C2B) application integration. The design environment models and tests integration solutions.
You use the design environment to create HCL Link data integration solutions. The design environment provides a graphical interface for managing the integration of applications and business processes.
The Design Server is the client interface into an extensive array of functionality that is available to create application integration solutions. Application integration solutions created with the Design Server run on transformation servers specific to the HCL Link product being used. The separation of design and execution provides exceptional flexibility for implementing enterprise-wide integration solutions. A single Design Server can deploy integration solutions to multiple servers. Multiple instances of Design Server can create integration solutions for a single production environment.
With the Design Server, you can:
- Define the structure of source data and target data with the schema designer
- Import database object metadata and identify characteristics of those objects to meet mapping and execution requirements with the Database Interface Designer
- Define transformation rules with the map designer
