Designing Application Systems on System Diagrams

In System Designer, you can design application systems by adding applications and systems as members. The following topics describe how to design a system.

In This Section

How to: Add Members to Application Systems	Describes how to add systems and applications as members to a system definition.
How to: Rename Members in Application Systems	Describes how to rename members in a system definition.
How to: Add Endpoints to Application Systems	Describes how to add endpoints to a system definition.
How to: Add Endpoints to Members of Application Systems	Describes how to add endpoints to members of a system definition.
How to: Rename Endpoints on System Diagrams	Describes how to rename endpoints on a system definition and its members.
How to: Delete Endpoints from System Diagrams	Describes how to delete endpoints from a system definition and its members.
How to: Delete Members from Application Systems	Describes how to delete members from a system definition.
Considerations for Deleting Members and Endpoints from Application Systems	Describes considerations to remember when you delete items from system diagrams.
External Applications in Application Systems	Provides guidelines and approaches to including external applications, such as external Web services and databases, with their referencing applications.
How to: Combine External Applications with Referencing Applications in Application Systems	Describes how to combine external applications with their referencing applications.
How to: Specify Optional Members in Application Systems	Describes how to specify members of a system definition as optional or required when you deploy an instance of the system.
How to: Specify Scalable Members in Application Systems	Describes how to specify whether multiple instances of a member can be installed when you deploy an instance of the system.
How to: Display the System View Window	Describes how to open the System View window so that you can add existing applications and systems to a system definition.
