Report: Output IT landscape and architecture information for MashApps
This report outputs IT landscape and architecture information for visualization in MashApps.
You have two selection options on the basis of which the information is compiled. You can select either the context of IT landscapes or the context of assignments.
You select the context of IT landscapes in one of the following ways:
by selecting a model that contains column and row headers,
by selecting definitions or occurrences of column and row header objects or process support units.
All of the relevant process support units and assignments are included.
You select the context of assignments in one of the following ways:
by selecting definitions or occurrences of assignment objects.
by selecting every permitted type of component object used for documenting the technical architecture and having a relationship to an IT system (object type Application system type) or an application system class that is defined as a quadrant of a system portfolio.
If you select quadrants or components, all relevant assignments are searched for. If assignments are either IT system instances or application system classes, all relevant IT systems will be included in the evaluation. Process support information will be output for all assignments found and selected. In contrast to the direct selection of an IT landscape context, only the assignments are included that are selected or indirectly related to the selection.
The information is output in an Microsoft Excel document independently of the type of selection.
The following worksheets are created
Process support unit: This table contains the context of the IT landscape.
Assignment: This table shows assignment and process support information.
Application system type: This table contains assignment objects that are of type Application system type by default. You can customize this type in configuration file psmReportConfig.xml.
System components: This table shows the relationships between IT systems and the components used.
Components: This table contains all relevant components and the standardization status.
Architecture: This table contains all relevant information on architecture and structural elements.
Application systems: This table shows all instances and the lifecycle information for each application system.
Application system class: This table contains the GUID and the name for all assigned application system classes.
The output file serves as input for MashApps. Each table contains non-redundant information as in a relational database. The required keys (GUID) are always available. With this you can provide MashApps with the information.
