Documenting Applications, Interfaces etc.

[PeterS]

Is there a suggestion how to document a set of applications?
We have about 50 applications, running on all varios platforms OS'es and technology. We want to document those applications, platforms and even the interfaces. Currently we use components and add tagged values to those. But creating the RTF documentation is rather complicated and not really satisfying. Is there a suggestion, sample, or guidline how to document such an application 'inventory'?

Not really sure of your question?

If you mean how can you document all 50 of these applications in a single EA project...

Then add a root project node for each of the applications. The nice thing about that is it is VERY easy now to link between model elements, and this supporting impact analysis across the applications...

Hope that helps...

If you mean using EA's RTF capability... well that is a subject that I won't get into... I use MS Word, Access, VBA code with a EA project hosted on a RDMS to create robust customized documentation...

Thanks for the answer. I've already documented the Apps as Packages and for each Application I've added the Components to document the Applications. So far that is ok.
Now I want to add some kind of metadata, like Hardware, OS or Vendor. For that I've created Package-Tagged values. The problem now, when I try to use the documentation  (F8) I cannot see any tagged values. I can get those from a component but not from any package.
However, I am not realy sure if tagged values are the right way to do it.
