Documenting the EO Model

2015-11-06 Thread Benjamin Steiner
Hi list, We are currently designing a quite complex EO Model, and there’s a lot to be documented. Does anyone have some advice on how to approach that on a large scale or is anyone using some Tools to do it? I’ve heard of program called “EO Model Doc”, but i don’t know how to get it or if it’s

However, they don’t have to keep that block of code alive. Although eomodel has not change in a thousand years, so they actually don’t have to touch that code… > On Nov 6, 2015, at 8:37 AM, Ken Anderson wrote: > > I thank them with my $$$ :) > >> On Nov 6, 2015, at 8:23 AM, Paul Yu wrote: >>

Hi Benjamin, For large model, the only solution I found useful is to create schemas using Omni Graffle. I usually create multiple schemas for a single model/project, one for each module like finance, operations, CRM, etc... Trying to document more than 12-15 entities in a single schema does not

Not WO related at all, but I recently discovered the DBeaver Eclipse plugin. It’s pretty amazing. You can use it to connect to any database with a JDBC. It has diagram views so you won’t need something like omnigraffle to see your schema and with a DB like postgres, you can document your tables

I¹Ve used EOModelDoc. Below are some Ant fragments to get you started. I am also attaching a eogen template showing how to drive the documentation from the EOModel into the classes where JavaDoc and you IDE will pick it up. I find that generally more useful. Chuck
