The Essential Project Forum

Hi team!

I've installed software by the links according to the http://enterprise-architecture.org/downloads
Protégé 3.5, TomCat8.0, Graphviz2.38 and installed essentialinstall506.jar.
However when I open Protégé and open essential_baseline_v505.pprj I can't see Essential Architecture Report tab. I only see Essential Viewer Tab and some others. The question is how I can find Essential Architecture Report tab and try to publish some reports.

Thank you in advance.
Vladimir

Hi,

Did you go into protege project/configure tab and enable the report publishing tab?

I have the same problem on day 2 of getting to grips with Essential - I can't see the reporting tab. It doesn't appear on the list of possible tabs under project->configure. I can access the viewer and see the canned initial report set on default model, but can't see how to get my model updates to the viewer
Any thoughts?

Hi,

Can I just check, can you see (at least) the tabs below: If you have Essential Viewer tab then you just need to click 'Publish Repository' to refresh your viewer with any changes.

Let me know if you can see the Essential Viewer tab

John

I couldn't see that tab at the time.

Subsequent retracing of my install steps showed I installed Portege twice (second time not as Admin), but Essential only once - so I needed to copy the Essential plugins to the second Portege install. At which point the tab became visible, and publishing worked.

Now I'm struggling to find the superset of icons to customize reports, but that's a different issue
Thanks

Glad you are all sorted.

For configuring the portal reports we have a how to video that we've just put up, that is here https://youtu.be/R_a51toeB4s

For styling/writing reports there are tutorials here https://enterprise-architecture.org/reporting-tutorials

Let us know how you get on
