Extending Distributed System Designers
Using the System Definition Model (SDM) SDK you can model new logical server and application prototypes that display in the Toolbox. The SDM SDK documentation covers creating these prototypes using the SDK. Topics in this section cover installing these prototypes and getting them working in the Distributed System Designers. To learn more about the SDM SDK, see System Definition Model (SDM) SDK Workshop.
