During my 2 day workshop on D6, I had a hands-on on Documentum Composer which is a replacement of Documentum Application Builder (DAB) and Installer. I liked Documentum Composer for 3 main reasons:
1. It has better interface than DAB, and its easy to use.
2. Its combined with DAB and DAI, this is very good because you can create a DocApp and Install it there itself.
3. Since it is built in eclipse, you can identify the issues at the DocApp development level instead of installation level. Any Error in DocApp is immediately highlighted with a red mark.
I tried a few things with Composer... creating objects, types, value-assistance, life-cycles.It all seemed very simple and easy to create a DocApp. Installation also went fine without any issues.
Best thing about Composer is, once you have a DocApp you can install it in multiple docbases without exiting the Composer.
One drawback according to me is, it doesn't show workflows. I saw that BPM is there under artifacts but workflows can neither be created there nor the existing workflows are displayed there. To create and manage workflows, Process Builder is needed.
