Special features
You start the macro for any model.
In the Generate matrix dialog, you can add more models and define object types for the definition of column headers and row headers. After you have defined the matrix using the column and row header objects, select a group in which you want to save the process support map. Then you enter a model name and select the IT landscape view for which the matrix is to be generated. Enter an analysis date depending on the IT landscape view.
Once you click OK the group structure is created and the process support map opens.
The new process support map is created and available for further processing. This procedure can also be used to create parts or different views of an existing process support map.
If it is necessary to extend an existing matrix, this can be done only by inserting columns and rows. Note that the default column must never be selected here. It is not suitable for macro-based processing. If a new row or column has been inserted, the required object, for example, Function, Organizational unit, or Location, can be copied into the row or column header. This can be done using the normal standard functions, such as drag and drop or copy/paste. The IT landscape administration - Complete matrix macro can then be used to complete the blank cells. If a process support unit already exists for a cell, an occurrence of it is created along with its content. If no process support unit exists yet, a new one is created along with an occurrence. New process support units are inserted into the process support unit group structure. Use the macro of the same name to change the IT landscape view at any time.
