The Essential Project Forum

Hi Paul, sorry for the delay, I've nudged the team to come back

This is great Terry, thanks

Thanks Paul, if you have any ideas for improving it then do let us know

John

Hi Holger,

I think there is a newer version, we'll send you that

Regards

John

If you want to build new views using AI, then we've released our View Builder MCP.

See this post on linkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/posts/enterprisearchitecture-ai-innovation-ugcPost-7450558953081577472-guEr?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAqtG4B9XRir-X4BLepqZxgOYjMxqho3Ho ...

Hi Paul,

Your modelling is correct. It needs a specific editor and a fix to your menu One of the team will contact you to sort this out.

John

It would probably need a custom data set for the audit data, I'll mention it to one of the team and we'll come back to you

Hi Paul,

We'll taken a look. I suspect the view is hardcoding the score and assuming a lower score is bad, when in the editor a low score is good.

John

Hi Sanjay,

That's quite a long list so will take a while to go through. You are missing data but it is tricky to work out what you are missing without seeing how you have captured the data, so we'll try our best.

Re the Editors, they are in Cloud/Docker only, hence why you don;t see them.

Hi Rihab,

One of the team will come back to you

John

We'll add a feature request for this.

John

Strategy Planner Issue Resolution
Mapping to your document rows:
1.4 load your capabilities
2.1 – 2.4 just map your processes to the business capabilities, use Launchpad to do this
4.6 Map you applications to the processes via physical processes (again use launchpad)
3.1 Create some value streams ...

Sorry for the delay, we''ll come back with a summary for you, hopefully by the end of the week.

Sorry for the delay, at the moment no, we'll raise a ticket to fix so you can add custom attributes

Hi,

Yes, that's a gap as at the moment as that editor is fixed, we'll see if we can make it configurable for the next release.

Can you raise a ticket please (so we can identify you) and we'll send you pre-release version to install if that helps.

Some updates, we still need some examples to finalise a few areas

NORA App and Business mapping.zip

Hi Terry,

This is excellent, no problem at all with the logo use

John

Hi,

Business and Application sheets with mappings for the salmon colour tabs on Business and all tabs for Application.

This is a working document so there are some places where we need some examples to help us work out the best place to map them to the Essential meta model. There are some places ...

Hi,

We are working through it at the moment, sorry, it's quite extensive so taking a little while. We''ll drop the sheets here as we complete them

The spreadsheets look a bit longer than the pdf, so will take a little time, do you have a priority order you need them done?

Hi,

We can map to those concepts, some of your mappings aren't quite right, could you provide as an Excel list and we'll update that

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Meta model attached graph-12.png
There is an SVG version zipped up here (SVG is blocked) and is easier to view/zoom into. I've also uploaded the tubemaps generator that creates these images - you can zoom in/out, drag, move the nodes and labels around to see relationships. There are a few ...

Hi Paul,

Sorry I missed this. I think you mean the strategy planner view. The video is here https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... y-planner/ but there is no meta model diagram, I'll ask one of the team to document it for you

Regards

John

Hi Holger/Terry,

We're happy to help, particularly with the meta-model mapping.

Just let me know

John

The Application Summary was a bug, we've pushed fixes up to github

Hi,

Did you select the sheets you want to export first? Select for example Business Capabilities, Apps, etc then export Blank file? If you don't select a sheet first it exports an empty file missing the required folders

We need to make it clearer that the user needs to do this, and add some guard ...

Re 1 App Summary - can you open the console and let us know what you see in the console tab and also, open the Network tab, click refresh and see if you get any errors in the APIs? If so, let us know which ones.

Hi Holger,

Let's see if we can recreate first, if not we'll come back to you.

John

Thanks for raising, we'll take a look

Hi Paul,

I've raised a feature request for this. It should be pretty straightforward

Regards

John

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay, I asked the team and the meta model supports it, but the editor doesn't yet, they've raised a ticket to add it. In the meantime, you'd have to use the back end to add the relationships.

John

Terry,

This is great, are you OK for us to promote this and make people aware?

Regards

John

Hi Chris,

Sorry about that, let me speak to the team that manage that to take a look

Regards

John

Hi Chris,

Apologies, I'll find out what's happened and get someone to contact you.

John

See here https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... ta-import/

Hi Paul,

I'll raise a support ticket for you, we're not sure why it's doing that.

John

We are still looking at this but the possibilities around using AI have made us change tack.

In the meantime, view building isn't too complex, not low code yet, but not complex code. We suggest you work out a json structure for your view that maps to our meta model, post that to AI with 'using this ...

We model this via deployments.

1) Create Technology Nodes (data centres) and associate these with Sites.
2A) In cloud use the application editor, use the technology tab, create a deployment (production) and associate the technology nodes for the deployment
2B) Or you can use Launchpad and the ...

can you provide the URL being used for the catalogue, just the xsl= part please

Hi,

Yes, we suggest you use the default and then elevate their access after they have logged in.

If you open the import spec in a dev tool you'll see it's XML. It's a bit fiddly but you can merge your existing import spec and this spec. Copy the <ns2:WorksheetImportSpec> tags into your existing spec, save it as a new xml file and then zip it up. Upload that to your import

Copy the sheets from ...

I'm told these should work.

An import specification and 2 spreadsheets, one with examples in it, the other blank

Thanks Terry

Hi Ben,

We do use Business Activity in the open source Business Process Flow view and it will in the upcoming Business Process Summary view update (as BPMN for Cloud/Docker), but we don't currently display Business Tasks.

John
PS the reason BPMN isn't in OS is that we use a commercial third party ...

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 ...

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_check ...

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:

Geopolitical_Region.png

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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">
<xsl:value-of select="eas ...

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)

Instructions are here: https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... tallation/

See here: https://enterprise-architecture.org/uni ... y-planner/

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.g some of ...

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

Regards

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

then let us know what Object Type they are
