Abstract
A documentation system for improving the efficiency of maintaining the records of mapping among applications is described. The method of documenting linkage of applications to each other includes displaying source application objects and target application objects along different axis. At selected intersection points of the source application objects and the target application objects, the user of the system inserts cells which define the mapping rules relating the objects. The cells include a unique identification field which identifies the particular mapping relationship between designated fields in the objects.
Claims10
A method of documenting linkage of at least two applications to each other comprising:
- displaying on an electronically controlled display in a first direction source application objects;
- displaying on the electronically controlled display in an orthogonal direction target application objects;
- and
- at selected intersection points of the source application objects and the target application objects, inserting cells to define mapping rules relating the source application objects to the target application objects.
