This view does not seem to be available in version 5. Is there an alternative report that will show business capability related issues? Thanks

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your response. We are currently using the Information Concept and Data Subject to hold classification of conceptual terms normally used by the business and subject areas in our Enterprise Data Model respectively. What I mean by information capability is those area of capabili...

Hi

The metamodel in version 4.0.1 has business_capabilities, application_capabilities and technology_capabilities

Just wondering why an Information_Capability class does not exist.

Hi Jonathan Thanks for your response. The typical load time for stand alone is about 10 seconds. In multi-user mode, it could take up to 2 minutes. I was not aware of the Web Protege initiative but your idea of a simplified web front-end sounds like an option. Is that in the Essential Roadmap or are...

Hi We are a large organisation with a number of architects from multiple business areas contributing to EA content. We have recently deployed a production environment. As our ontology grows in size, the time it takes to load the project from the Protege client has become unacceptable. Also, due to n...

Thanks Jonathan Just replaced the header as per code below and it now works fine. I noticed the same issue in some other views <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xpath-default-namespace="http://protege.stanford.edu/xml" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:...

Hi, I am currently using the default Business Performance Model View. The following error appears when the page is rendered: xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:functx="http://www.functx.com" xmlns:ess="http://www.enterprise-architecture.org/essential/errorview...

Thanks Neil and Jonathan
I just had to re-start Tomcat and that did the trick. It is all working now

Tried the install on Mac OS and had the same result.
The file is 152MB but the installation only creates the essential_viewer.jar file. No essential_viewer folder or files

Hi there, I a currently upgrading from 3.0.4 to 4.0.1 I am having issues upgrading the Essential Viewer environment. I followed the steps in the instructions (i.e. install essential viewer component only) but for some reason the installer does not create the 'essential_viewer' folder. The only thing...

Thanks Jonathan The alternative method worked for me. It took only a few seconds to delete all records once I deleted the Default EA Architecture State and ran your latest script. Having said that, I am not sure what the effect is on the rest of my ontology once I delete the Default EA Architecture ...

Jonathan Thanks very much for the update. I increased the heap size to 1470m (1541406720). Tried to run the script and realised that it is attempting to delete all records regardless of the chunksize. To get around this, I got rid of the While statement that wrapped the rest of the code (while anIns...

Jonathan, Thanks for your response and the script. Unfortunately, after a few minutes from the time when I issue the deleteAllInstances command, I get the following error: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space I increased the heap size to 1.3G as follows: lax.nl.jav...

Hello there,
Does anyone one know how to delete a large number of instances in Protege?
I have tried to select and delete all instances (about 6,000). It takes hours and then it comes up with a java heap size error. Even deleting 100 records at a time takes about 10 minutes
Thanks

Thanks for the useful insight. Hopefully the new class and slots will be included in the next release.

Hi Jonathan Thanks for your response. The only part of my question that is still unresolved is how do I maintain historical data that I can use to generate the dashboards? Am I expected to create a new Business Service Quality Value for each quarter (if that is the frequency of my reporting period)?...

Hi, I would appreciate your views on the following: All our business cases capture business objectives, outcomes and outputs to be delivered (O3). Each business case (when approved) can result in the execution of one or multiple projects. It is our team's (EA) responsibility to track the delivery of...

Also be aware that in some cases, none of the roadmap elements may appear.
Check for javascript errors to identify the root cause of the problem (for example, invalid characters in a milestone description field)

Thanks Neil. Your suggestion worked just fine. The business capability summary report now shows the maturity level. I have an additional question which I am posting here as it relates to what I am trying to achieve. What I intend to produce is a report that shows (for each capability at each archite...

jmk. Thanks for your response. I figured out what the problem was (as always it seems pretty obvious once you find it :oops: ). I was missing the following declarations: <xsl:param name="targetReportId"/> <xsl:param name="targetMenuShortName"/> which should also be used in the te...

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately the linkclasses variable is not the problem as I already had this class in the list: <xsl:variable name="linkClasses" select="('Business_Objective','Business_Capability')" /> Also, the purpose of the report is to show our key business ...

Hi, I have created a new report to show the relationships between business objectives and business capabilities. In the older versions of EAM, the XSL had to explicitly declare the value of the XML, XSL of the next analysis report, PMAs, LABEL, etc. In 3.0.4, this does not seem to be necessary as on...

Charu, I tested Protege 3.4.8 with both SQL Server 2008 R2 and mySql 5.5 today. The response time with SQL server was sub-optimal as you already know but by looking at the activity monitor it seems to point to the way the single query is performed on the database to retrieve the data. MySQL on the o...

Thanks Bev.
After the minor change to the XSL to include the business, application, technology and security strategic plans it all works.

I have extended the Business Capability class to include a new slot to capture the level of maturity of a capability in relation to an architecture state. In doing so, I have created a new enumeration value that is referenced within the capability form. It all works work within Protege but the viewe...

Thanks for your help. I do have two installs one on Win XP and a second on Windows Server 208 R2. I tried clearing the browser cache but that didn't work. Then I replaced the reportXML in the server with the reportXML from the workstation install but had no success either. I am not sure what else to...

I have installed Essential both as stand-alone and multi-user. In the stand alone version, when I click on a hyperlinked instance in any view, I can see a report menu from which I can select the report I want to navigate to in the next view (I.e. process summary view, process flow diagram, etc.) In ...

Hi Wolfgang, I did a quick scan of the Protege API but there does not seem to be any method that would allow you to group fields. http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege3DevDocs As you are probably aware, you should be able to set the label of any widget through either the form editor or the AP...

Thanks Bev. Based on your post I decided to test the business, application and technology strategic plans and none of them displayed. I ended up representing my roadmaps using information strategic plans. Not ideal as it does not allow the creation of relationships to business, application or techno...

Hi Wolfgang I asked this question recently and this is the response from Neil Walsh The Excel importer is now functional however requires UI updates and documentation to be of value to the wider community. We still plan to release this in the future however we do not have a scheduled release date an...

I have created a strategic roadmap. The report shows the milestones but none of the activities required to go from baseline to target are shown (blue lines with timeframes). The JSON response only contains the milestones. I must be missing something obvious from the point of view of the instances th...

jmk. Thanks for your help. Increasing the allocated memory did the trick. :D I also figured out that the reason why the projects did not appear was that there was an offending character in one of the project descriptions which did not allow timeline_data1 to be rendered due to an 'unterminated strin...

Thanks for your help. That works well.

Thanks. This is likely to help with the out of memory error. I am still not sure why the project bars do not appear in the chart even when I have set start and end dates for all projects in the programme. I have the same scenario with any of the roadmaps. Milestones appear but none of the related pr...

I have created a programme and a number of related projects with start and end dates (Quarters). However, the program plan view only shows the timeline but no projects. When I attempt to check and uncheck the Plan check box, the following error appears "Out of memory at line: 2674" Any hel...

I am trying to obtain a list of application providers with id, name and description. I tried to use both the XML extract and the CSV extract. The first one produces a malformed XML and the second one produces a long list of names and descriptions which is hard to clean up and sort. What is the best ...

Thanks Jonathan. All my bulk uploads are working now

During the execution of portfolio management activities, it would be useful to be able to link projects or project activity to business capability. That is, understanding which projects, programs or initiatives are contributing to the uplift or maturity of a particular business capability. In that w...

I managed to resolve this simply by removing any references to physical drives (C: or D:) and replacing the back slash for forward slash. Also found an effective way of importing data from excel using the Essential Integration Tab as follows: - Organised the columns in the spreadsheet to match the e...

Just want to add that I tested the xml and xsl using an external XSLT 2.x parser and it worked fine. Is the integration tab using XSLT 1.x or XSLT 2x?

My current environment is a single user install with EAM v 3.0.4, Protege 3.4.8, Tomcat 7, Java 1.6, Windows XP I tried recently to update Protege via the Essential Integration Tab. I am using the sample files provided with the standard install as follows: Source Data: C:\Program Files\Essential Arc...
