Best Training for Application Owners in LeanIX Academy?

Hi everyone, We are currently undergoing adoption efforts at our organization, and wanted to know from all of your perspectives what, if at all, would be the best training in the academy for users just joining or seeing LeanIX for the first time should take? Do you all have ideas on what certifications would be best? Thanks!

Importing Application to Business Context with a Constraint Relation

Hello all,We’re in the process of uploading an application inventory for a new Business Organization.All Organizations share the same Business Capabilities Architectures. Although some organizations might use different Business Process coverage for the same application. For example: This example requires that App A’s Relation to Process A is applicable only for Org A (same for App B for Org B).We can specify that doing it FactSheet by FactSheet. The question is: Is it possible to do it using the import template? I was not able to see any relation attribute to specify it when exporting an application with this feature…Factsheet screenshot: Exported file ThanksPaco

Include "Date created" and "Date mapped" fields in factsheet search results

We are looking into reporting metrics on specific factsheets data, and in that, one of the key attributes is when the factsheet (Factsheet A) got created (date created) and when it gets mapped to another factsheet (date mapped to Factsheet B). While the date created and date mapped are available as part of the audit information, they are not available to include in search results. Can these be configured to expose for search, atleast between Factsheet A and Factsheet B?

Modelling Interfaces with multiple lookup to other applications

I’m struggling with how to best represent interfaces that make calls to multiple applications to prepare a dataset to provide to a consumer application. My scenario is as followsApplication A initiates a push of data to Application B The above is implemented in our ESB/Middleware (Mulesoft in our case) Additional data from Application C is merged with the Application A data ESB pushes merged dataset into Application BRepresenting a single application to application interface via an ESB is OK, follows the LeanIX Modelling guidelines. I’m just stuck as to how to best represent this scenario as this will make up a significant majority of our interfaces. Any help would be appreciated

ETL Flows

Hi, We have all app interfaces in Leanix but I was wandering: Did anyone also model/describe their ETL data interfaces in Leanix? Do you create interface factsheets for them too? How do you do this then? Are there best practices?Thanks in advance for the feedback!Tim

Multiple servicenow integration configuration sync error

Hi everyone,After configuring 4 integrations to 4 different servicenow instances, I am seeing that only one of them is run daily by the Full_sync_job and the other 3 are skipped. Can this be resolved so that all of the 4 integration sync run everyday. Moreover, if that is possible then is it possible to choose the  order of running the sync by which I mean that I can choose which sync should run first and then which one should run and so on so that all of them follow an order of running.

Cost Report on Provider Basis

Dear all,we are currently diving into a very basic cost overview.One of the basic reports are focusing on the provider, which is in general fine. As providers are only connected to the IT components in the meta model and not the Application itself I need to assign all IT components (which all have the  costs on them) to the provider again. That seems not a big issue for SaaS solutions (mostly there is just one IT component), but for on prem solutions / applications there can be maaaany IT components.To be honest: My application owners will be lost if they have to add that information to providers and the applications. ;)Do you guys have any hands on solution or automation in place for this issue? Thanks and best,Christina

IT Component Costs and currencies

Hi everyone, This is a feature request.  When adding costs to an IT component linked to an application, it is listed in the local currency which is set in the general settings.  At the moment, I’m performing a point-in-time conversion for contracts in USD, GPB etc to my local currency which over time will become inaccurate.  If possible I’d like to enter the cost of the IT component in the currency the contract is paid in.  LeanIX knows about different currencies from the general settings, so if I can enter that value, that would be superb.  In the costings reports, they would convert those costings to the local currency so I know what each provider is costing me, in my local currency.What does everyone else think? Would this be a useful feature?

Democratization of LeanIX

Hi Everyone!Happy Monday, and hope everyone is doing well.I know there are many segments within LeanIX that have layers of functionality and value utilization, which are dependent on use cases and stakeholders that are leveraging the platform.I would love to know if you have a favorite or a set of favorite functionality that you find extremely helpful within the platform and how it has contributed to your success within LeanIX.Are diagrams being leveraged and if so, which part of your technology infrastructure is being mapped out by visuals?  Are there selective fact sheet types (standard or custom) that have been of focus for capturing data elements this year? Which type of automations have you implemented that has delivered greater efficiency (could be APIs or out of the box automations within the admin function)? Are their certain types of reports (i.e., landscape, matrix, portfolio and roadmap reports) that have signified importance in resonating the needed information to make effe

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 instal​​​​led 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.

Updating Business Application data from ServiceNow

Hi all, I have a requirement to update fact sheet type- Application data in LeanIX through Servicenow. I have already integrated with ServiceNow through the O-O-B integration available but that is for creating Application records in Servicenow from LeanIX. And since, we can't make another fact sheet mapping to do the opposite too, I was thinking of how to do that in LeanIX. Please let me know how to do it. Also, can Integration API do this ? (Just to remind again, I want to update BA records in LeanIX from Servicenow). Thanks for your help in advance.

Portal - Add functionality to the "Request application"

Hi We are doing a bit of discovery into the portal now, and have an idea, at this stage, to smooth out the process for end-users needing access to an application. Has anyone used the “Request Application” to anything useful? Currently - it simply points to the documentation for the self-service portal - I have a few ideas to either trigger a request in ServiceNOW, either by prepopulating an email running through the think-automate, or using Power Automate to streamline the process to get access to an application. Has anyone done something similar and would be generous enough to share some insights? BRTore
