Use the Topology portlet to define topologies. This portlet is access from the Managed Resource
portlet by right-clicking resources and then selecting Topology. The
topology toolbar is common to
both the this portlet and the
System Topology portlet. It also lets you configure the default view
(see
Topology and View Configuration on page 244 for more about these capabilities).

The topology toolbar helps navigate through the topology, load a view, save a view, and so on.
When you click the Toggle Design Mode tool, several additional tools appear that let you manipulate the
