Does anyone know a tool to automatically document an RTC process template?

Yes. I have used that and it has been really useful, but it just covers the workflow.
I remember some time ago, I used a tool do document a RTC process template, but I cannot remember the name, and diving into internet but not able to find it. I remember it created a set of html pages, that documented the process, and you were able to navigate them.... wondering if someone has seen that... Thanks, |

I have written a small Perl script that goes through to determine the custom attributes listed for each work type and lists the aggregate of the custom attributes as well. I also created some batch files using "find" to pull out where enumerations and conditions were defined. This with the Visualizer gives a pretty good base on which to base a formal written description.

Hi Claudia, not sure if my hint is still helpful after this time, but I believe that you are looking for the Rational Method Composer. That's a tool to create browsable HTML or in newer versions to deploy .war files to get an navigable description of a process.

Claudia,
a partner over here started using this: http://blog.stastnarodina.com/honza-en/spot/rational-team-concert-workflow-visualiser/ and discovered someone else who is working on something similar.
Other than that, I am not sure there are any tools that do it. I am really interested in the experience of others.
One more thought, you can use the Plain Java Client Libraries, to gather information like teams, work item types, attributes, workflows etc.
I have done some coding e.g. for the workflows,you can find something here: http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/26/manipulating-work-item-states/ project area structure etc, can be found here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/analyzing-a-aroject-areas-members-and-roles-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ but I never attempted to go over all the data there is.
What information are you interested in?
Ralph, what do you mean by "Plain Java Client Libraries"? I want to be sure that I understand what you mean.
I refer to the Java Client API that is available for RTC, which allows to get to the data, You can either get at the data using HTML/REST or the API that is used in the Eclipse client.
What about the "Process Analyzer for Rational Team Concert" tool? You can find it at http://joemeagher.com/production/index.php?
Maybe we could try with this tool. Does anyone know how reliable is it?
Thanks in advance!
Victoria.
Interesting, I have not tried it myself, but it looks promising.
