I have a 3 year old database that is FULL of band-aids and patches. I need to rebuild, but have no documentation. Is there a product that I can run against this database that will give me some semblence of workflow? I know that Team Studio used to have something like that…
Thanks in Advance for any advice.

My experience in workflow analysis is that any automated tool will provide results that will require their own interpretation.
This is an area where a computer or a program cannot substitute for an hour or so of talking to a person to explain how the workflow process operates.

Teamstudio still has a tool like that, it’s called Analyzer (Analyzer — Teamstudio). It will give you all the documentation that you need with the design element dependencies and view of all the LotusScript class/function/subs so you can begin the process of figuring out things like ‘Is this agent called from any action buttons?’ Analyzer also comes with an audit tool so you can find all the places these old applications are not following your current design standards.

I have used Team Studio Analyzer for several years. It is great at “what is called from where” sort of things. What fields are on a form, etc. However, as good as it is, it is not a mind reader and can not tell you what the intended action was supposed to do. Only searching through the code can help in that way. What it can do is determine if an agent is called from an action, or another agent and stuff like that.We have been called into several companies to try and straighten out messed up DB’s (obviously not ones we designed 
) and it is generally a very time consuming process, but Team Studio tools have shortened the process up a fair bit.

You probably already tried NotesPeek by now, but you really should take a look at scanEZ which is based on the same technology but have much more possibilities(editing, better interface, many tools).
Hope this will help.
