Cognos8 automated documentation

I have been hearing since the time I worked with cognos series 7 that there needs to be a way to automatically documents the Specifications of the Framework Model
Thanks to Cognos 8 now we have an automated framework model specification generation technique.

Create Model Documentation

After you model the metadata, you can create an HTML or XML representation of the model that can be customized and printed.

When you create model documentation, you can document the entire model or you can select a subset of the model.
















To document the entire model, you click the top-level namespace. The model documentation shows the selected object and all the properties and children of that object.

















You can view, save, or print the report in HTML or XML format.

Steps
1. Click the object that you want to document.
Tip: Click the top-level namespace to document the entire model.
2. From the Tools menu, click Model Report.
The model report appears.
You can save, print, or change the format of the report.


But what if some one still using cognos series 7,
Dont worry there is java code available on googlecode to generate model specification doc.

I hope this will save some efforts for documentation.
