As I mentioned in a previous post, I just inherited 4 Contrib apps. I know you will be as shocked as me, but these apps came with no documentation. :o
Before I start to document these apps for my own use, I would like to ask this community how they document their Contrib apps. I was hoping that there would be a utility to generate such documentation, but I haven't found one (nothing mentioned in the Contrib html help files). Oh, by the way, we're using EP 8.1.
Start with Manager Flowcharts for application skeleton libraries, they'll show you what is going on inside. Note that cubes are updated in navigation order.
Mark the inter application transfers with manager flowcharts (if it's inside Analyst) or arrows with commentaries (if it's done by admin links).
Chart all regularly run macros (what they do, how) and it'll give you a nice start.
Thank you for your suggestions, Ykud. :)
I've been studying the Contributor XML and wonder if there's a way to convert object name guids to their developer assigned names?
Hi,
they should be in the respective application db in a table called development_items
regards.
"Table called development_items": found it - just what I was looking for. Thanks for your help Tish! :)
You're always welcome.
