   I'm not clear as to what you are asking. I can see two possibilities: 1) Document the application - Oracle metadata. There are probably some scripts around for that.
2) Document your operational configuration. I have a form I prepared to help me audit a database. Just a series of questions and minor SQL commands like "is archive logging turned on?". If this sounds interesting I will email it to you with the stipulation that you email me back at least one item I've missed.
