External documentation (SQL Documenter)

I know that the BI studio can build a nice flow document that is associated with the package. Is there an easy way to build a series fo documents that can be shared with other users without having them go into Visual Studio?

Mark E. JohnsonI have an upcoming presentation and was wondering if there were any methods/features that could display all the SSIS packages, tasks, dataflows, relationships, and such in a functional diagram? Similar to what is seen in a ERD diagram. If not, are there any functions or tools that can help collage these SSIS displays (outside of screen shots)?|||We are building a tool that will traverse IS packages, SQL Server Databases, and AS to get metadata reports. It should be available around the time we ship.
It's called the "SQL Documenter"...
Thanks,

Has a timeframe been defined yet?

Thanks Kirk.

Now that SQL Server 2005 has been released is there any news on this tool? I have been looking around for it but with no luck.

The documenter is a "sample" application, not a released product, so there is no firm release schedule for it.

It's not quite ready yet. It should be quite soon, but I don't have a better estimate just now.

If you need an external beta tester just let me know :o)

Did you find anything about your request?

I am looking for a SSIS Documenter too!

And I got a note that SSIS Documenter is coming from these guys as well.|||

Any updates on this?
