Kalinda Reference

The architecture of Kalinda Reference is designed for scalability and ease of use. The main components include the Metadata Importer, Documentation Generator, and Publishing Engine. The Metadata Importer extracts data from CICS resources using CICS API calls.

It supports various resource types, including programs, transactions, and files. The Documentation Generator processes the imported metadata and applies predefined templates to create documentation. Users can customize templates to meet specific documentation needs.

The Publishing Engine formats the documentation into various output formats, such as PDF, HTML, and Markdown. The components communicate through a message queue, ensuring asynchronous processing and improved performance. The system uses a flat file system for storing configuration data and generated documentation.

The API uses RESTful principles, with endpoints like '/import-metadata' and '/generate-docs'. The system requires network access on port 8080 for API communication. Kalinda Reference supports RBAC with role-based permissions, and all user actions are logged for auditing purposes.

The system is designed to handle large volumes of CICS metadata and generate documentation efficiently.
