Tools Index

This reference is organized into topics that correspond either to a kind of item you might want to manipulate programmatically (class definitions, DDL files, Studio, and so on), a technology of interest (HTTP, XML, and so on), or a task you might be interested in (testing, debugging, and so on).

It lists the APIs for some tasks that are commonly performed in the Management Portal, if those are tasks you might need to perform in an installation program.
