Hi Jonathan Thanks for the response. Basically, yes, when I click on the Business Process I want to see, I get the 2 item menu as expected (i.e. Business Process Flow and Business Process Summary). The Process Flow version works fine including showing the Activities & Process below the diagram. ...

Hi there I been having another odd thing happen, and I;m not sure what I've done (if anything to cause it). In summary the Business Process I've created looks fine on its own. But in the Business Process Summary form (extract in the link below) it shows a broken link and will not show it. I'd apprec...

Hi there
In the Business Process Summary view there is a Slot called "Standardisation Levels". I'm not sure I understand what these are, so I'd really appreciate a short definition of what this is and what it's purpose in the model is.

Joseph

Hi again,

Followed your lead and fixed tit by going back to the source I downloaded, even though I couldn't get to the Zip.

Thanks again for all the help

Regards
Joseph

Hi there
Thanks for the zip file, I'm at work at for some reason I get a message saying I'm not authorised to download the file?

Do you think this could be a work network issue?

Thanks
Joseph

Hi there I've found the Product Type General Menu Group you showed in the screen shot, and I was able to find the 2 reports you listed in the Reports Section, My only remaining issue is how to link the reports to the menu. I could not find a menu group or item called Business Service Summary, so I c...

Hi Sarah Thanks for the reply, I think that would all be ok, I see it as a reason to break down my somewhat cluttered process flows into smaller steps, perhaps add some detail into the Process Descriptions, etc. Of course we can always add the Link to the original PDF if the business requires it. Re...

Hi Sarah Thanks very much for your very informative reply. I've put a copy of the Visio File I'm thinking about at this Drop Box location in PDF and Visio form. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sckf3xeuwg19gty/AABzVLP10lNBcSjt68VxMM6ma?dl=0 Please let me know if you can't access these 2 files. I will use ...

Hi Sarah I'm having a fair amount of trouble getting other process flow diagrams to work. I'm in the Business_Process Flow windows in the Logical_Business_Model. I drag a Start spot onto the editor and then either a Process or Activity, so far so good, mouse over till I see the little white hand the...

Hi there I'm sure this is a very easy questions, but I can't find the answer on the forum. I've populated the "Business Function/Service Model" and the view/report is working ok, but the first column "Business Services" is shown in blue with hyper-links, when I click on them I ge...

Hi Sarah, I re-did the flow that was giving me trouble and now it seems to be working ok. My next question is related so I hope you will indulge me a little further please. I have a number of Visio Process flows which are in the form of Cross-Functional flow charts. I would like to know if these are...

Hi Sarah Thanks for your reply, I believe I followed all the steps and captured a process (as an example). In the Instance browser I can see the simple process with a Start and End points. But when I look in the viewer and click on the Business Process Flow link I get a small black square with some ...

Hi there I've captured quite a bit of detail up to this point, but I'm struggling to build Business Process Flow diagrams. I have a number of Visio BMPN diagrams that I want to replicate in the the EA model. I'd really appreciate a step by step example of how I get to see a Process Flow Diagram in t...

Hi Guys
Thanks for the comments and interesting discussion, I'm finding the tool very comprehensive and quite applicable to our organisation. It really helps to have some insight into your design decisions this way.

Hi there Thanks for your reply, I appreciate the pointer in the right direction, may I ask for a simple example because I located the Product_Class in Protege and I thought added some sample data, but still see nothing in the Business Function/Service View. Similarly in the "Business Capability...

Hi There I'm making good progress with the default model as a base, but I want to use the Business Functions/Service Model report in the Viewer, I have captured Business Domains, Capabilities, Roles, Processes, Activities... But this "Business Functions/Service" report shows an empty table...

Hi there
Thanks, I'm not sure what I did to cause the duplication, but I uncheck that box in the duplicates and it helped so I deleted the extra instances and it solved the problem.

Joseph

Hi there Another odd thing I found is an unexpected duplication of items in the View Catalogue Portal Panel Section I've put a screen-shot here for anyone who'd like to suggest a reason and a solution. I'm pretty sure its just my inexperience with the framework. But a little guidance would be apprec...

Hi there After much struggle I finally got the Protege and the Essential Viewer working and started to build quite a useful demo for management. But, now I get a few unexpected issues, the worst of which generates an error message in the viewer attached in dropbox here https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqz8...

Hi Jonathan I have been working in Protege for a ay or so now, and I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it. One thing I've noticed though is that in the Instance Browser for example the Business_Capability list I see 2 odd things; 1. a number duplications e.g.. Economic Research or development Pro...

Hi Jonathan
Thanks for that, can you give me an idea of what the training could cost please and can it be done on-line as I live in Perth, Australia and working for a Not for Profit org, residential training is very, very unlikely to be approved.

Regards
Joseph

Hi there
Thanks a lot, that all helps. I see from the Essential Project Home page, that I can customise the views or Portals as well, but I can't really see how to do this. I'd appreciate a step by step guide for this.

Thanks again

Joseph

Hi there
I seem to have got up and running now, so thanks for all the help.

Hi Neil Tried the terminal commands but no change to results. Also in Protege oddly enough I get the same error if I use either port 8889 or port 8080 in the URL? I'm may uninstall MAMP for now and see what happens, also I have edited the tomcat config to point at the 8889 port so when I enter local...

Hi Neil Thanks for the response, really appreciate the assistance you guys are giving me on this. I've put the files in this Dropbox folder, you should be able to access them. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q4ym1vitkvty26j/AADSdvxmbETK3XI5_yEHb0rha?dl=0 Screenshot is in the folder as well, please let me...

Hi there My Java is 1.8 and I now can hit the http://localhost:8889/essential%5Fviewer/report?XML=reportXML.xml&XSL=home.xsl&cl=en-gb&LABEL=Home URL successfully, BUT, Protege still gives me an error after rendering the repository, Checking for access... Exception encountered during send...

Hi Neil Really appreciate you getting back to me, I've made the changes you requested and I now see the Essential Viewer home page in Safari. Which is great, BUT, Protege still renders the repository ok, after Checking for Access... it gets Exception encountered during send Fails to send snapshot to...

Just FYI I've fixed this by reinstalling my java and pointing it at the right Java version

Hi everyone I really need some help with getting my essential_viewer.war to deploy, as far as I can tell Tomcat is running, the .war file is in the tomcat/web apps/ folder but refuses to extract the file, so I do not have the essential_viewer folder. I have tried to re-install the viewer via the EA ...

Hi there Thanks for the pointer, I do have the same problem that although my Apache and My Tomcat are running, I still get the "Essential Viewer ReportService could not be found at this URL" In my case I am running MAMP on a MAC which points to port 8888 so my Essential Viewer URL is http:...

Hi All I've made progress :-) now the Rendering is completed but, It stops with the following lines Sending XML snapshot Failed to send snapshot to Report Service: Essential Viewer ReportService could not be found at this URL. I think this means my essential viewer.war has not installed properly? Ap...

Hi John & Colin I'm actually not sure if Tomcat is running as I have MAMP installed on my MacBookPro. I have verified Apache is running because when I use the browser to navigate to localhost:8080 I get my WordPress home page. I've googled how to include Tomcat in MAMP, at the following URL and ...

Hi there I'm a brand new EA user and I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen so far. But I'm trying to render an element of the Demo project supplied with Protege 3.5, but it gets as far as 69% and then hangs. I have not entered any username or password before clicking on "Publish Reposi...
