Introducing the Software Developer's Kit

This topic introduces the IBM® Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM) Software Developer's Kit (SDK) and provides a brief overview of the TADDM Common Data Model.

The SDK Developer's Guide provides accurate visibility into business applications by providing application maps that highlight the relationship between the application and its supporting infrastructure. The comprehensive application maps include the infrastructure components that make up the application, their detailed configurations, and the runtime interrelationships and dependencies.

TADDM stores the topology data internally using a Java™ object hierarchy known as the Common Data Model (CDM).
