The Essential Project Forum

Terry,

This is great thanks. Are you OK if we put these on the Free Downloads part of the web site and credit you?

John

You'd need to export the class data from repo 1, and then write an import spec to import it. You could do this as a view, putting the data into a dataTable. If you have captured relations against the class data in repo 1, you would need to export that too then import the data back into your new repo...

Hi, We can't replicate this. We've written a quick check, can you unzip this, put it in the user folder and open it in viewer. Add &PMA= and use the id of the process ypou are having a problem with. It will look something like this: [YOUR HOSTNAME]/report?XML=reportXML.xml&XSL=user/process_c...

Sorry for the delay, we'll take a look.

There is an explainer video at the bottom of this page

https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... essential/

Below is the meta-model for this:

If you can't get it working, let us know and we can pick up offline, I know one of the consultants is speaking to you separately.

Is there any way you can share the dup that is generated? If you can't share publicly then alternatively, if possible email it to us and we can take it offline

Hi, There is a Business Glossary Editor in the Editor library, if you add that to your published editors you can update from there. The modelling is quite straightforward: graph-3.png Hope that helps, if not then let us know. John PS the view is in the View Library under Business. We're aware that t...

Can you try and export your spreadsheet as a DUP and import using the Essential Update tab in Protege.

Let us know how you get on

Hi, When you say you merged, how did you do that? Was it using the merge in Protege? If so, then it can cause problems where you are merging classes that are populated in both repositories, and instances with the same name will have problems, and relationship classes will be retained, so you may hav...

Sorry for the delay, but we haven't been able to work out how to do this with the Open Source version.

Sorry for the delay, the video is here https://youtu.be/Azwh-hJ8zrE

The ideal way to do this would be to capture your Application Capabilities, map those to Application Services and map the services to Applications. Your capabilities would be something like Payment Management, Data & Analytics, Finance Management. Alternatively, you could create taxonomies and c...

First point on sequencing, not at the moment, we've raised a request to extend the meta-model for this Second point, see below, map the objectives to the gaol and then tie the actors to the objective(s) supporting the goal. graph (1).png That should work, if not then let us know and we'll work out t...

Hi,

That is only in Cloud/Docker - there are a few views that make use of the back end services in Cloud/Docker or are paid for views, and that one is one of them.

Sorry

Sorry, I should have been clearer, use Inspect to open the inspect panel and screenshot the contents of the console tab Also, In the URL where is says xsl= can open the home page and replace the xsl= with this path XSL= common/utils/core_util_recursion_finder_business_caps.xsl Check you business cap...

Can you post the URL used please. One option is there is no instance being passed to the view, let's discount that first If there is a value in PMA= in the URL then can you open the console in the browser and see if there is an error there please. In the URL, if there is no instance for PMA= then ca...

Hi Holger,

Do you have the URL used and if a selection was made which sheets you selected?

Thanks

That's done for you, hasn't been through UAT but the file is attached if you want it now.

Will be in the next release.

John

J-M is right. Can you replace the code <td> <xsl:variable name="currentType" select="type"/> <xsl:value-of select="eas:i18n(translate($currentType, '_', ' '))"/> </td> with the code below, this will help to debug the issue: <xsl:for-each select="$currentType">...

There is a way to do this with the import utility. I've asked the team to create some documentation on this and we'll come back in the next week or so.

Map your Applications to Physical Processes and map the Procesess, via the Business Processes to Business Capabilities

Use the Launchpad Plus Strategy Planner loader to map the data once you have it loaded (in View Library > Support)

If you want to showcase the views with full data, the demo viewer has populated views https://essentialviewer.com/demo/report?XML=reportXML.xml&XSL=home.xsl&cl=en-gb&LABEL=Home You can't access the editors and some of the views that use the technologies in Cloud/Docker are screenshots, e...

This looks to be an interesting site if you are looking for end of life dates, a open source site sponsored by Netlify and Datadog. https://endoflife.date/

It seems quite broad and you may find this useful for managing vendor lifecycle dates.

Hi

Can you replace your current view with this one, we'll do some more testing and look to get this into the next release

core_bl_value_stream_summary.xsl.zip

John

Hi, We've discovered that there is an issue with how JS handles decimals, we've updated the view to address that, attached. core_al_app_cost_analysis.xsl.zip The repository shared looks different to the screenshot, so we can't compare the spreadsheet to the result, our test data looks OK. We didn't ...

Can you share your code please. We suspect it's where the numbers are being rounded in the code in the existing version.

Thanks.

I'm not sure why but it was using a property on application where the services are scoped to those that support business processes, it used to say which of an application's services could support a logical process you have defined. We changed the view to use a different property that returns all ser...

Sorry it took so long, we finally worked it out. The view was looking for a business mapping, despite it using App caps. Fixed version attached

core_el_lifecycle_viewer.xsl.zip

Hi, the image isn't coming through, can you reshare please

We are using 2.0

Sorry for the delay in this, we suggest using the ea_notes field

Hi, it should be feasible, but we'd need to see the output format.

This is great, thanks for doing this Terry

Hi Sven,

We're still puzzled by this. Can you put this view up and let me know the counts in the top left please

core_el_lifecycle_viewer_CHECK.xsl.zip

Sorry, this one has us confused, leave it with us.

You need the BPMN editor in cloud/Docker to do that, the editor opens the old style flows and converts them to BPMN.

In OS, you'd need to write a view that transforms the Essential data structure to BPMN structure

Hi, Jon's answer is 12 years old and things have moved on. We have a BPMN modeller in the commercial tool now, it allows you to draw flows. If you are using OS then you need to use the Business_Process_Flow classes to create your diagrams, but they are not using BPMN. The output is in the business p...

Hi Sven,

That suggests that the Application Capabilities aren't mapped to Application Services. Have you capture these and related them?

Hi

Sorry, that is only in Cloud and Docker, OS doesn't have the capabilities to support this

Sorry Sven, this isn't a fix, we need to work out what data is being sent. There should be 2 counts at the top of the screen, capsCount and serviceCount, can you see those? it should look like this. :

Screenshot 2024-09-25 at 18.41.25.png

Ah, view names are a little different. Open the report instance and add a synonym, see the example below

Screenshot 2024-09-25 at 09.13.36.png

Can you drop this in your user folder and change the url of the view to xsl=user/...

The let me know what the counts are at the top of the screen please

core_el_lifecycle_viewer.xsl.zip

1). We're refreshing the summaries, that is on the list to do and cost will be part of that process 2) Not yet, the sensor framework will enable this, but the first iteration was around content governance based on dates data was captured. It's on the roadmap but we have a few other priorities we are...

Click where it says English at the top right of the browser and pick a language. Note, some things won't be translated as we haven't got a translation (it may be due to the view being newer). You are welcome to provide translations as you find them, send them across and we'll update the language fil...

Apologies Sven, I've checked the code and it uses the Application Capabilities for mapping the apps. Application Capability --> Application Service --> Application Provider Role --> Application. You need the physical process to understand the processes impacted when you click the information icon on...

Can you confirm it is this view: enterprise/core_el_lifecycle_viewer.xsl It will almost certainly be via the physical process. The difference is you have a Business Process that supports a business capability and has an implementation in the organisation that uses applications. If you know exactly w...

What does the checker say re colours?

You need to map your top level Application Capabilities to classifications Right, Left or Middle, that positions the caps on the left hand side, middle or right of the model. For technology you do this for Technology Domains, which you will map your capabilities to. In this model, you can also have ...

The guys have taken a look, this should work based on the enumeration sequence numbers. core_al_application_dashboard.xsl.zip Let us know how you get on, we'll test it fully and drop in the next release. PS In case you missed it, you can change the chart type/ hide charts, see here on how to do that...

We'll take a look for you and come back.

Your log indicates that the Apache Commons Daemon is running as a 32-bit process (procrun (1.3.4.0 32-bit)).

At the bottom is a table with steps, click the column name, e.g. A1.1, for more detail

Can you go to the Instance Overview by Id View (View Library > Support). and in the ID put

1) viewer3_devrep_14032012_003_Class10015
2) SiteOneBaselineRepo_Class4

then let us know what Object Type they are

Thanks

Usually this happens when you have reused the IDs in your import

Hi

I guess it depends on where you need help, but start here https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... roduction/ then let us know how you get on

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry, that view doesn't work in Open Source

I think you are using Open Source which a bit different to Cloud, in Cloud you can use the application dependency editor, click the pencil on the line and edit the data there. In OS, in the search box for the class tree search for the class :APU-TO-APU-STATIC-RELATION This is all the relations. In t...

We're actually bringing diagramming into the tool, the BPMN editor was the first iteration. We're taking a cautious approach as we want to maintain the integrity of the data, so people won't be able to just create nonsense, so it does provide guardrails. You will see more diagramming coming over the...

It's probably not enabled. Go to EA Support > Essential Viewer > Reports find the Core: Launchpad Spreadsheet Exporter and check 'Enabled on Homepage'

No, the HERM ID is held as an EA Reference, you can use Business Capability ID for your own purposes

Sorry, the editors only work in Cloud/Docker. You should probably delete the panel

Regarding your first question "How can I import some data in the viewer? I have a excel file with list of all the applications we use. How can i import it to populate the application catalog artifact? does the spreadsheet needs to be in the format provided by essential. How do i get hold of a p...

Editing in Open Source is via Protege, Editors are in the Cloud edition, which uses a different technology stack (the technology differs but views and meta model in OS are the same as the ones in Cloud). You can delete the editor panel by going to EA Support > Essential Viewer > Portal Configuration...

if you are a first time user then try username: [email protected] and admin as the password, but we suggest you change those.

Look in [your tomcat folder]\conf\tomcat_users.xml - you can change it there

In the Quality Value worksheet, there is a colour column - what value do I use here? Hex colour code to visualise the RAG value rating measured. This will be used to colour your qualities in views In the Perf Measure Cat 2 Class - what value do I use? For each performance measure category you want t...

It's quite an old view, but I can see it's using Math.round([some number]) in a number of places. This will probably need to be switched to parseFloat([some number].toFixed(2))

Have a go, if you are really stuck then let us know and we'll take a look (may not be immediate as we're quite busy)

It's the way the view is coded, it rounds the numbers. Primarily because the finance teams will almost certainly have different numbers, so we say the EA costs are indicative, they will be close but not exact - it reduces the amount of debate. Experience says it is easier, as long as we are clear wh...

Sorry, you need the cloud version for that view.

The JSON format is really up to you. We suggest you work out what you want to show and then structure the JSON to support that. Here's a template with a console.log of data from one of the Data Set APIs and combines that data with some data from a template. You'll see the promise for the Data Set AP...

It's currently 100. Thanks for the input

There is a param1 variable that holds the PMA value

You can then use that in your data, e.g.
<xsl:variable name="currentApp" select="/node()/simple_instance[type=('Application_Provider', 'Composite_Application_Provider')][name = $param1]"/>

A few questions, have you checked that your viewer works OK? it will be something like http://localhost:8080/essential_viewer/report?XML=reportXML.xml&XSL=home.xsl&cl=en-gb&LABEL=Home You should see the portals If it does work, then if you have used the import utility to create the impor...

Hi, I can see the launchpad was actioned last week. It may be being blocked by your firewall. Also, the dup downloads fine for us, so again, it may be a firewall issue. You may want to use the new HERM model we released for Higher Education on Friday, see https://enterprise-architecture.org/herm-hig...

Can you let us know which model you are downloading please?

We have this on our roadmap. We're still kicking around requirements, e.g. once your snapshot quota is full do you just overwrite or do you notify the user and get them to delete? Should we allow you to lock some snapshot so they are not deleted/overwritten. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

I've fed this back to the team. Regarding "Import Spec should be able to be used for Launchpad Export, so that Import/Export are aligned." Launchpad Export works with the current Launchpad Import Spec, so can I confirm, you want export to handle any additional fields you add to your import...

There is a function for calling slot values: <xsl:call-template name="RenderMultiLangInstanceSlot"> <xsl:with-param name="theSubjectInstance" select="current()"/> <xsl:with-param name="displaySlot" select=" slot name "/> <xsl:with-param name="is...

Hi Xiaoqi Those terms are purely for layout purposes in some of the older views, they are not related to business semantics. We try to avoid baking Framework specific terms into the meta model, it allows us to be framework agnostic and means you can, if you want, map multiple different frameworks to...

Hi Ben, A couple of fixes in the attached . * The menus are not working when clicking the capabilities and services I get a 404 error. - should now work, with these new files. * Can each new top level capability be placed on a new row rather than being contiguous? Just helps with readability. Now se...

That will list any associated instances

Ah sorry. That's using an updated file due in the next OS release. Unzip the file and put in your common folder

core_handlebars_functions.xsl.zip

Can you check the console and see what structure is being returned against 'js'. Expand it out if you can see it and then see if you can see the structure which will be a list of app caps, Pick one with data and it should be app cap (with some properties) > service > applications > environments -> p...

First cut, we've not brought in the value streams yet, very, very draft for now but should let you progress, any bugs then let us know. Taken on board most of your suggestions, we've used a slide in/out cap model rather than a select drop down - click an application or service count to get the capab...

Thanks for this, all helps. Any further ideas then just let us know

Sorry for the delay, we're discussing this view, which is quite old, and are thinking it may be quicker to rewrite it. Give us a few days to look into it.

We'll take your requirements, throw more in if you like and we'll see if we can include them

We can see there are multiple services tied to the cap. There is only one application linked to a service mapped. That is confusing us a little. Can you check if that one has a plan tied to it? Just click the active button in the roadmap enablement to switch it to inactive. Does anything change? Att...

Thanks, that helps. I'll come back to you

You can remove the duplicates. Just check what they are tied to first

Sorry for the dealy. Looking at the view code it should be via strategic plans tied to the roadmap, then each plan should have planned changes (on PLAN_TO_ELEMENT_RELATION) and here you need to add the change activity, or go via the supported by change activity slot. However, it looks like they need...

Can you run this checker please and provide a screenshot

Sorry about this. Can you check if the application mart API is switched on. Look under Data_Set_API and see if Core API: Application Mart is there (and switched on) if it is, then it may be that the file has been updated since the last OS release. In which case can you upload the attached api and re...

Hi,

Thanks for this. We've got something on our roadmap around this, based on some current capabilities we have implemented. We're still gathering requirements at the moment so will feed this in.

Thanks

Thanks for raising, it looks like a library upgrade has caused the issue. Can you try this version.

core_al_app_diversity_analysis.xsl.zip

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Can I just check, are the views there and just the images are missing? Do you have the latest Viewer installed? https://github.com/essentialproject/ess ... ree/master

Thanks

John

We'll take a look for you

You need a physical process. An application can support a logical process via the service, i.e. this application can support this process through this functionality (application service) that is the supporting application services slot, which maps to the application provider role (APR). (app to serv...
