Utility business object design question

[JamesGuidry]

What would be the recommended approach to retrieve the captured elements (and their metadata) from the application explorer tree of a given application model?  For example, I want an action to output collection inventory of every captured element of a given application model's application explorer.  Then I'd like a subsequent action to iterate through this collection to determine if each captured element still exists on the page and outputs the result. 
Thanks.

There's no easy way to do that James I'm afraid. You can't dynamically get an inventory of App Modeller elements, although in App manager Diagnostics > Snapshot may be of use. The best option to check whether elements are still viable is to create a test process to launch the application and navigate around - some clients run these on a regular basis, say in the small hours of Monday morning, as a precaution to see if anything has changed. Usually the test process is configured to send a notification if it encounters any problems.
