The report summary for Information Representation is trying to select slot physbusproc_to_appinfoview_info_delivery.

I checked the sample repository to make sure I had not deleted the slot by mistake, but it does not appear there also.

This slot is referenced by core_il_inf_rep_summary.xsl, line 74.

Has this slot been replaced by another?

Hi Rick,

This slot is used on the PHYSBUSPROC_TO_APPINFOREP_RELATION class.

This is located in SYSTEM-CLASS > EA_Relation > Business Relation

The idea here is when you create a Physical Business Process (the implementation of a logical business process) you can specify if any information is used by the process. Here you would create a new PHYSBUSPROC_TO_APPINFOREP_RELATION which would build the relationship between the process and the information and then allow you to add additional attributes such as delivery mechanism to the relationship.

In the Delivery Method section of the view, it can show one or more methods of delivery derived from the context of the Physical Business Processes.

If you're exploring or debugging things such as this then it can be useful to turn on the Classes Tab and the Slots Tab in Protege. You can then explore the relationships to see where a given slot is used. Your can turn these on by choosing Project > Configure > Slots Tab

Cheers

Neil
