Hi,

Have you altered the view code, as I've never seen this in the bus cap view? If so, can you upload the code and we can have a look. Or, do you have any orphan capabilities that are linked to parents?

Unfortunately due to the restriction at our end we could post the code block through here.


Previously core_bl_bus_cap_model.xsl file had 6 top level bus cap groups. (4 manage 2 back)

We took a copy of the above file for a new set of records (no code change) have only 2 top level bus caps groups (as shown in the screen shot) (1 manage 1 back).


Does the above gives the insight required for understanding the issue.

We've had a look and this is an issue with your data. This happens if you have capabilities linked to your root capability that have no children capabilities defined. You will need to tidy them up.

To find your root node got to EA Support > Essential Viewer > Report Configuration > Report Constant and select the Root Business Capability instance. In the Associated Instance slot you will see your root capability. Open that and look for the Contained Business Capabilities slot - in there are all the capabilities, some of these will have no children - either remove the link or delete them if you don't need them.

There is another scenario we've come across that can cause this. If you change the position of capabilities at Level 1 then it can leave orphans, e.g you place a capability in 'manage' then move to 'front'. In this case, when you remove the manage it leaves an orphan. You need to remove this otherwise you will get blank boxes. To do this go to EA_Relation > Business_Relationship > BUSCAP_TO_PARENTBUSCAP_RELATION and delete the orphan ones
