Developing SMS Applications

Develop an SMS application to manage consumer services by sending and receiving SMS messages.

1. Starting the Server
   Start the SMS Builder server.
2. Launching the SMS Builder Web UI
   Use a Web browser to launch the SMS Builder Web UI and log in to the server.
3. Developing Applications
   Application states are basic building blocks that you can link sequentially to model application task flows. Applications are executed by the processing engine at runtime.
4. Developing Custom Application States
   Custom state development using the State SDK is a Java development task you can perform with or without a development IDE, such as Eclipse or NetBeans. After you develop and deploy custom states, you can use them to develop applications.
5. Activating Applications
   You must activate applications before you can test or run them. If you modify an active application and save changes, you must reactivate the application before changes are applied to the active version.
6. Testing Applications
   Test applications using the built-in application simulator.
