Best Practices for Interface Naming

What is the best practice for naming interfaces? I’m new to using interfaces in LeanIX and how they are used in diagrams. Could you please recommend some best practices? For example, the ones that your company uses.In the Interface Modeling Guidelines, the only recommendation mentioned is:“Define self-explaining naming conventions. Establish clear conventions within the organization to determine ownership and change management responsibilities for Interfaces, promoting consistent modeling practices (e.g., Provider, Publisher/Subscriber)”I also found that in the documentation, they name it “App1 to App2”. However, I find it not suitable if the interface is bi-directional.I would appreciate some practical examples. Thank you.

LeanIX Academy Video content

I am currently learning various courses through LeanIX Academy. However, I noticed that there is no transcript available for the video courses.

When Best to Use Sandbox Workspaces?

The production workspace in SAP LeanIX is the primary environment for managing real enterprise architecture data with a standard, configurable meta model. While a sandbox workspace, available via subscription, offers a safe space for large-scale testing. A sandbox workspace is geared towards the core team, and the number of users who can access it is limited.The added safety of testing configurations in a sandbox workspace comes at the expense of delay, added complexity, and duplicate effort. Hence, the recommended approach is primarily to rely on the production workspace. This post highlights best practices for using both environments effectively.Recommended Scenarios for Production WorkspaceThe production workspace in SAP LeanIX offers built-in safeguards to prevent errors and maintain data integrity, making it suitable for most activities. With features like change tracking, draft status, and detailed audit trails, you can confidently perform tasks without fear of impacting live dat
