Typical Use

Linx consists of a solution designer, a server and a client application.

The Linx Designer provides a graphical user interface to design and test solutions. The user drags components from a comprehensive library, drops them on the process section of the solution, and fills in some properties. The process can be debugged on the spot and can be uploaded to a running Linx Server in seconds. No scripting or technical implementation knowledge is required.

Solutions are loaded into a Linx Server, which provides the runtime environment:

The Linx Client communicates remotely with Linx Servers to load or unload solutions, start and stop processes, and perform other administrative tasks:
