Hi Furgu5,

 

If you don't have the ability to use the automated programs then the best use of visual demonstrating a requesting from client to server is to use a combination of the Cross-Functional Flowchart Shapes along with the Basic Flowchart Shames. Specifically if you know the order process you can define all the functions from top to bottom. Then use the basic flow chart decision symbols within each functioning. This has been successful, but can get very time consuming if you have hundreds of virtual servers. Another technique that i also used in the past was using the organization chart to demonstrate the same order of process information.

 

 

I hope that helps
