Application Designer

Application Designer

Architects will use the Application Designer to define the applications that make up a distributed system. This tool allows architects to provide a description of the types of applications that compose the entire connected application and record the configurations of the software packages loaded on those servers.

Here are the various application prototypes that can be modeled using the Application Designer:

• Windows application

• ASP.NET Web service

• ASP.NET Web application

• Office application

• External Web service

• External database

• BizTalk Web service

• Generic application

Windows Application

Logical Server Constraints

• Logical server required—Windows client

• Windows client constraints—operating system type and version, CLR version, directory

Application Settings

• Directories for implementation

• Custom
