What style of diagram to represent a particular process?

  • I have a process that crosses many technologies and servers. Im not sure what diagram will display the info clearly and concisely.

    A high level overview of the process is:

    - Button on a form is clicked and kicks off a job.

    -Job runs a cmd file that kicks off an ssis package.

    -last step of job kicks off a job on a 2nd server.

    -job on 2nd server calls a cmd that runs an ssis package.

    It goes on like that pretty much. Im thinking a simple flow chart will look cluttered and have a lot of text. would a sequence diagram be better or is there another diagram i have not considered?

  • This may be the case where a two levels diagram would help.

    On the first page a simple flowchart showing the main blocks then an additional diagram per block showing each particular block in detail.
