Hi, I have the following projects, coming from a list created in Protege. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13gOyrpN7vMFzeFLl6Vv1HJF4DWKYqCis/view?usp=sharing Bars in light blue lack an entry in the Project Life Cycle. 1) Ordering What is the rationale for the ordering of the projects in this view? Ho...

Hi John, I'm reposting my last reply because for some reason, I cannot find the response I posted earlier today, and I assumed that you can't see either. My initial problem, posted last week, was that I could not see the Application Reference Map (ARM) from the data imported using the Launchpad foll...

Hi John.
Here it is. Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Hope this helps,

Hi John, 1) When I put in my browser's address this URL: http://localhost:8080/[my_project_name]/enterprise/core_el_it_asset_dashboard_checker.xsl I got a 403 reply from the server, as shown below https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dA4Onwa6y5dVDS6j3qbq0rfe6dKqnm1P/view?usp=sharing 2) If using Windows ...

Hi, I cannot see the Application Reference Model View. All I see is this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19D5Ze8AK34b1V_7s9SSo7fg9pUvp2t5s/view?usp=sharing I used the Launchpad to upload to Protege, and loaded it with a bunch of test data in the 5 tabs indicated as documented in https://enterprise-...

Hi John, I just wanted to let you know that although the verbiage on the documentation page below captures what you said in your previous response, the video in that page still shows the old way of modeling. https://enterprise-architecture.org/docs/business_architecture/business_goals_and_objectives...

Hi, I need to upload a long list of initiatives that range from ideas to approved projects and for the latter, elements that are in different states of execution, like not started, ongoing, and completed. I thought I'd be able to use the Launchpad to do the upload but I could not find a tab for proj...

Hi, For future reference, the problem was that for some reason, the file Protege.lax (C:\Program Files\Protege 3.5\Protege.lax) was modified for some reason. Everything started to work again after I configured the parameter as shown below: lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_333\\bin...

Hi, I' sorry for asking again, but I'm currently dead in the water. Protege does not start after upgrading Java. I tried to uninstall Protege to re-install it. I get the same Windows error 2 because the Protege uninstaller uses Java I tried to re-install Protege, but got the same Windows error 2 aft...

Hi, I received a message that Oracle had a new Java version and I upgraded from what I had when installed Essential to C:\Program Files\Java\ jre1.8.0_333 \bin\server\jvm.dll I managed to make Apache work with the new Java, but when starting Protege, I get the message "Windows error 2 occurred ...

Hi, I'm finding that the complexity of the metamodel added to my ignorance about it are acting as a big barrier to getting things done. Case in point: I'm playing with Value Streams, trying to create a nice diagram like the one shown in https://essentialviewer.com/demo/report?XML=reportXML.xml&P...

Perfect. That solved the problem.
Thank you!

Alex

Hi, I have a few questions about Value Streams. Q1: How do I configure the Target Emotion? I can see that the diagram in the Viewer shows it, but I can't find how to enter it in the Value Stage using Protege. Post-edit: Please ignore this one. I found how to do it. Q2: How do I add the same vale sta...

Thx for the response, but I don't think I formulated my question properly. I don't seem to be able to have more than ONE environment, called essential_viewer. The documentation leads me to believe that I could have more than one, either to keep separate Live and Test environments, or perhaps to keep...

Hi, I'm following the Essential documentation in https://enterprise-architecture.org/docs/introduction/getting_started/#how-does-essential-work , under Publish Your Model for Essential Open Source. For some reason, if I try to call the model something different from "essential_viewer", (th...

Hi, I was following the documentation shown here: https://enterprise-architecture.org/docs/import_utility/import_utility/#os to upload data in the launchpad spreadsheet. I figured out that I had to point the browser to http://localhost:8080/essential_import_utility after not finding in the Viewer th...

Hi, I also got an error when performing this update. In my first attempt, Protege became unresponsive. I left it just in case and killed it after 1 hour. I retried, this time ticking on the show details checkbox, and got the trace below. My machine is an i7 with 8 GB of RAM, Windows 10 Pro and I'm i...

Thank you, Jason. I think that when time comes, it would be useful to consider a few aspects and incorporate them into the design. a) Projects may have one or more candidate Solution Domains, of which one will be chosen (ideally before the project is approved) as the scope of the project. b) Each So...

Thanks John

Hi, I am wondering how to model and visualize the following situation. Assume the organization has a project called Project Ducky. Project Ducky will have a lifecycle with one if its attributes (which I think you call slots) defining the state in its life cycle. Project Ducky will impact several ele...

Hi Greg,
Do you mind sharing the instructions that you used to install the Open Source Viewer?
I really don't know how to do it from Github.

Many thanks!

Hi, The Essential download page (https://enterprise-architecture.org/os_download.php) references Protege version 3.5 The Essential project page from Stanford U (https://protege.stanford.edu/products.php#desktop-protege) indicates that the latest version is 5.5 Would the latest version work with Esse...

HI, I noticed that there are some inconsistencies between the 2 documents in the Tutorial > Information Modeling and what I see in Protege has and I'm wondering if someone can help with a) the missing definitions b) clear examples of what to model (and not to model) in each class The gory details ar...

Thank you, John.

Thank you John I had read the documentation prior to asking So, using your example, I understand that there are three instances here: Accounts Payable Accounts Payable - Global (variant 1 of Accounts Payable) Accounts Payable - London (variant 2 of Accounts Payable) Let's say that when I start model...

Hi, I"m new in this forum and I'm exploring the features of the Essential Project. My first impressions are that the massive metamodel, obviously intended to represent most possible problems an enterprise architect need to model, is confusing for a new user of the product. I wrote asking about ...
