Re: Organization Structure Model Rpt not working

Ok thanks. I will try that. I think it might have something to do with the Taxonomy Terms. When I look in the xsl(and I am not that good at it!) it is looking for this. I don't know which one to use, or where I am using it. I can add a Taxonomy term to the actors, but should they all use the same te...

Organization Structure Model Rpt not working

Hi there, We cannot get the Organization Structure Model Report to show anything. We have actors, roles, etc. and have followed the manual to make sure all the correct information is entered. We defined 1 Group Actor as our parent, with it's Parent Organization being itself (is this how the system k...

Re: Strategic Roadmap

I figured this much out...if you go into the code of that .xsl report, it only includes the Information_Strategic_Plan. I changed the code so that it chooses any of them using an 'or' statement and it worked.

Hope this helps.

Re: Strategic Roadmap

I am also having trouble with the Business Roadmap. The Architecture States displays, as well as Information Strategic Plans, but that is all.

I also have Business and Application Strategic Plans that don't display at all. I also thought that the Timeline points would display.

Thanks,
Bev.

2 Roadmap Models show same elements in Change Analysis repor

Hi there, I have created 2 roadmaps in EA_Support. They contain different Start/End architectural states, and link to totally different Strategic Plans. When I go to the Essential Viewer and go to Business Process Change Analysis I see both roadmaps. But when I open them, they are exactly the same! ...

Also, further to my Switch Off issue, I have a snapshot of what I have entered in Protege and what Essential Viewer displays. I tried to upload attachment as a .docx,.rtf. & .html but it would not accept them. I cannot copy and paste them here either. I am not that familiar with html. Can you ad...

Re: Baseline vs Target and how to populate for this

Thank you...that helped alot, especially understanding how the baseline state is determined. I have followed your instructions and got 'Replace' working, but I still cannot get the 'Switch off' Strategic Plan Action to work in the reports. I am not sure what to do from here. Do you have any suggesti...

Re: Baseline vs Target and how to populate for this

Hi again.... I have another question regarding architecture states. If I have multiple states, how do the Business Change Analysis reports decide on which state to use for baseline and which for target? If state A goes from 2012 Q1 to 2012 Q4, state B goes from 2012 Q3 to 2013 Q2, and state C goes f...

Re: Baseline vs Target and how to populate for this

HI Jonathan, I have been using the Roadmap Manuals to get this far, but I cannot get an element to show as 'Replaced' or to show as Red (decommissioned). I have followed all the instructions, and double/triple checked. For 'Replaced' I would expect that element A would appear in the Baseline and ele...

Re: Baseline vs Target and how to populate for this

Hi there, I did manage to get things populated, but I am getting the same item (e.g. Task) as both a baseline and a target. I don't want that, and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong! I want e.g. Decomission software A and start using software B and have 'Replace' in the grid box between these ...

Thank you. Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you. All of what you said makes sense now that I have been using it for a while.

I am sure I will have more questions in the future!

Thanks again,
