Report: Lifecycle management

Use

Depending on the selected context, the report visualizes the lifecycle management of IT components (application system types) or IT system instances (application systems). Optionally, this can be done in the form of a table output. For selected models or object occurrences it is also possible to color the occurrences contained in the model according to their current status. In addition, the occurrences can be reset to the default.

The Lifecycle management report relates to either the standardization of an IT component or the operation of an IT system (instance). The selected element is used to decide which lifecycle is used as a basis. If application system types are selected, attributes that relate to standardization are evaluated. If application systems are selected, the report relates to operation attributes.

A table can be output if required, which contains not only the text output of the relevant start times of the individual statuses, but also a time bar and graphical output.

As a further option, it is possible to display the current statuses of the IT components or IT system instances at any time (dynamic simulation of an IT map). Object occurrences are colored according to their attribute values in relation to a comparison date entered by the user. This comparison date is indicated by an arrow () in the output. The period under consideration can also be specified, if required. To color objects in an open model, start the macro with the same name for the model.
