Getting Started

Hi all!I was integrating ServiceNow with LeanIX with the connector that LeanIX provides but the integration hasn’t been successful due to custom tables. My question is, what is the best APIs method to update factsheets?As I can see, I have these 3 options:API Rest: I do not see the option to update factsheets GraphQL: I believe that this option provides the solution that I am looking for Integrations: at this point, I am not sure what this option is forWhat would be the best solution for this integration with ServiceNow?Thank you:)

Hi community!I am looking for an application lyfecycle management map to incorporate it to the operating model. The thing is, I don’t get any that explains it clear and easy to follow. Does anyone know how to get what I am looking for?So thankful for your help, as alwyas!

Hi community! So helpful everytime I end up here looking for help:) Does anyone know or have an interesting idea of how to present business capabiltities to stakeholders?In the near future I have to give a kick.off presentation to my stakeholders and present them which business capabilities I have identified and its definitions to be alignedThank you in advance:)

Hello, I am relatively new to Bosch and I will be creating an SOP document for a new tool we are developing for use within MA-SNA.  I am wondering if there is any kind of LEAN template or rubric that will enable me to create this template in a “Bosch” way.  Thanks in advance!

Hi, new here! does anyone know if LeanIX provides definition of its proposed business capabilities? Do we have to define them on our own?Looking forward to your answers,Thank you for sharing!

Hallo, was muss man tun, wenn die Meldung kommt “Qualitätssiegel gebrochen” wo finde ich die Stelle, an der ich etwas anpassen muss?

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.

Is it possible to configure the reference catalogs (SaaS, Business Architecture, etc.) to use a langage other than english?

Hi, Is there a way to filter applications using the overall completion percentage of the factsheet? I am planning to use this to track KPI. Appreciate your inputs.

 FindIT lists LeanIX as it's replacement but I cannot find a simple way to simply search servers and those associated

Hi Everyone,At my organization, we are currently undergoing an an effort to get our Application Inventory completely up to date with the rest of our IT department. We have selected some users to represent their team/business area when it comes to LeanIX and provide lists of the applications they use. I was wondering if there was any PowerPoint content that LeanIX has published would be helpful to present to users as far as teaching them how to create fact sheets, updating quality seal, going through each section of an Application fact sheet, adding relationships to other fact sheet types, etc. Does anyone know of any content like that exists? I would love to be pointed in that direction. Thanks!

Hi,is there anyone with a good example of the InboundRelation-Processor from the Integration api. In the documenation and the examples i only could find ways to create relations through external ids.Thank you for help,best Daniel 

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a way in the IT Component table view to see the Obsolescence Risk Status and Obsolescence Risk Description associated with the consuming Application for an IT component.  The reason I ask is that we would like to be able to bulk update these where appropriate, rather than having to go into each application's individual relationship with the IT component and edit it.  Is this something that is only available with the TRM module?  To bulk load or edit this data please?

How does one collapse interfaces after clicking the arrow to expand them? I’ve been searching for hours and this seems like something very simple to achieve but I cannot find it. Once you expand an Interface from a data flow diagram, there doesn’t appear to be a way to revert it back to the “unexpanded” view you previously had.

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!

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?

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

Hi,I’m trying to set the quality seal for a number of Interfaces but the field is not updated.Is there a way to do it without going one by one? Thanks

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.

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

Hi All, I received an email from: IT LeanIX with “subject  : There are 1 new changes in your workspace SiemensProd “ saying that with one of my application commented Quality seal broke. I am complete new to this topic and have no knowledge on this. can anyone help on this topic. Thanks in advance.

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?

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

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 ?
