LeanIX EAM Developers

Which API do I use to list all my Users that can be added as Subscribers to a FactSheet

Hi All, I’m looking to create basic FactSheet entries from a Project Governance system called Uppwise.This is just a basic integration to LeanIX using a GraphQL client generated using the Netfilx DGS codegen plugin. Having got past some dependency problems, this now works well. I can also connect to the Pathfinder Rest API.However, I’m struggling to work out where I can get a list of my Users that I can use to add as subscribers.I can’t seem to call the MTM service, but I'm not sure if I should be able to. Could someone point me to which API I should call? ThanksAndrew

Multiple sync job error

Hi all, I have 4 integration configurations made for 4 different Servicenow instances. I want all of them to run when the FULL_SYNC_JOB runs every day but I'm seeing that Sync for only one of them runs and others are skipped with the message as "Synchronisation job skipped. A full sync is already running or queued." How to resolve this ?

What are some key challenges in integrating EA with the Business? Let us know your thoughts…

Hey there, LeanIX customers and Architects! Enterprise Architecture (EA) services are incredibly valuable, but sometimes, the theoretical and abstract nature makes it challenging to explain its value/position to the organization. TOGAF describes an EA service as “a manual or automated service that supports processes and business capabilities ... governed by an organization, and what kind of services your EA community offers.” To help spark discussions and improve collaboration, we published a 'How To Sell EA Services To The Business' blog/framework based on customer interviews, and we believe that involving the business stakeholders in defining EA services is crucial, as it specifies the portfolio structure and value of EA services to the organization. I would love to get this group’s opinion on the following questions (blog post has further questions to consider:)Does your EA practice offer well-defined EA Services? How well have EA services helped you execute against your overall bu

Handle version history without overloading Application factsheets

Hello everyone,We would like to envision how to handle versioning in LeanIX correctly. There is the Release field in the Application factsheet type, but in my company we have the need to track several versions of one applications because we have parallel versions.Let’s say we have three applications A, B and CWe have for A:V1.0.1 installed at site 1V1.0.6 installed at site 2V2.0.0 installed at site 3For B:V8.0.0 at site 1V9.2.0 at site 3For C:V5.0.1 at site 2At any time, another version of C could be installed at site 3 and it could be different than the one from site 2 so we have a need to track it also.We could clone three times the Application factsheet for A, two times for B, and change the release field but that seems inefficient. Also if one of the shared field (the description, or the Application Owner, or anything else) change, we’d have to edit every factsheet manually. That is also inefficient. I had thought first to create another factsheet type to represent the Version

Whether and how to model virtual servers for applications

Hi.Any on-premise application (let’s call one here ABC) is typically hosted on one or several physical or virtual servers (let’s have here 2 virtual servers SRV123 and SRV456). These servers have often but not always the same OS (let’s say here Windows Server 2019 for both SRV123 and SRV456) and different purposes with different components (let’s say here SRV123 is the web application server with IIS 10.0 and SRV456 the database server with SQL Server 2019). They also run on different pieces of hardware or a single one (let’s say here that SRV123 and SRV456 run on 2 different Dell PowerEdge R550 Rack Server units).In my example, Application ABC would have relations with the following IT Components in LeanIX:Software: Microsoft Windows Server 2019 + Microsoft IIS 10.0 + Microsoft SQL Server 2019, Hardware: Dell PowerEdge R550 Rack Server.But SRV123 and SRV456 servers actually appear nowhere in this model:Of course, they’re not Applications, They could be IT Components, but none of the s

Modeling Organization for Applications used by everyone?

Does anyone have any advice on how best to model an Organization-Application linkage for Apps that are used by everyone in the organization? I’m thinking I’d want to create a Level 1 Organization (subtype=BU) to represent all employees of the organization generically. If there’s a specific team or region of users where that application has a distinct functional fit that needs to be called out, then we would add those as additional organizations. I think that should give us flexibility to provide insight into different usage perspectives for those shared services, but curious to know what approaches others have taken.

Visualizing Options Assessment

Hello Community,has anyone experience with dealing of options assessment results in LeanIX?Le me explain in more detail:You are dealing with lots of Business Capabilities in LeanIX (amount n) and due to best of breed you have same amount (n) of applications in the portfolio.On the other hand you know about an application supporting more than one business capability - an integrated solution. How to visualize the option that this integrated solution (not implemented only based on capabilities) is providing as it might be the successor for multiple active applications!The successor attribute is too hard wired for this because we are talking about an option and curently there is no initiative planned/release.How would you deal with this requirement in LeanIX (or is LeanIX the wrong tool for something like this)? Best RegardsThomas

Integration API - How update and not create a factsheet?

Hi,I use integration API and processor to synchronize external systems with LeanIX, especially the inboundFactSheet processor type. The default behavior of this processor is to identify if the factsheet already exist (usage of the externalId) and update it or create it if it doesn’t exist.But I don’t know if it’s possible to update it only and not to create it if it doesn’t exist?Thanks for your help.Olivier C.
