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

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. :

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

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

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.

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.

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

then let us know what Object Type they are

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

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...

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

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.

It's currently 100. Thanks for the input

There is a param1 variable that holds the PMA value

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.

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...

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.

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).

Regarding the domain filters, have you mapped domains to the business capabilities? Can you see the domains in the drop down?

Hi Rakesh, Yes, you can use performance measures to do this. The model is shown here:https://enterprise-architecture.org/university/application-landscape/. You can define any service qualities you like. At the moment, the application summary will pick up the data, you'd need to create your own views...

I use that if I am using Open Source. The rest of the team here may have different views, but I find that easier as you only have one repository to worry about. Just make sure you save before you import.

Can you try Generate Import File instead. This will generate an DUP, in your protege install use the Essential Update tab and load that file in (save the repository before you do this in case you have to roll back). Let us know if that works. If not, can you send a screenshot of your import screen w...

Hi

Are they appearing in the View Library? If so, then you need to add them to portals, see Assigning A Report to a Portal here https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... ew-report/

If they aren't in the View Library then we'll need to work out the issue

Sorry for the delay. If these are enumerations (they look like them) then they will appear. The Application Catalogue update went out in the last Cloud release, and the new app summary picks this up by default in the Other tab. These will be in Open Source and Docker in the December release

Hi Holger,

Hi Vadym,

We'd need more information on your set-up (OS used, amount of RAM, memory allocated to Protege, etc). We've not seen this before so it's a bit tricky to debug.

Hi,

There is an upper limit around 17M characters, so should cope with most text.

This is fixed in the next release

Hi,

That uses the stakeholder slot

On the physical process, create a stakeholder of type Actor to Role relation and make the role 'Process Manager' and the actor the individual who is the owner.

That will appear after a publish.
