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 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.

Hello everybody,as we are getting started with LeanIX at the moment, our challenge at the moment is how we define and structure our business capabilities. LeanIX provides a best practices business capabilities map for the energy sector, but this seems a bit much for us. Therefore my question is, if somebody is interested in exchanging ideas / best practices for municipal works companies. Thank you in advance and have a good start into the week!Markus

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

Newbie question on how to list both applications and components at the same time

Hello,From seeing many views, lists  and reports, it seems to me that out-of-the-box, one can only list either applications or components at the same time, not a mix of both.If true, what would the rationale be on this? I could understand that not all fields or tags can be listed in the same list if different types of objects does not have the same ones, but given that some fields or tags ARE shared by all objects types it seems to make perfect sense to be able to list them in one single list.A bit like having a list called “Fruit basket”, it listing all kinds of fruits you have and then showing shared properties of these kinds. You don’t have to know in advance what fruits you have as all kinds will be listed assuming there is no other filtering. The list can then be exported to Excel for further analysis.This seems way more dynamic compared to having to make a separate list for each fruit type, exporting each list to Excel and then trying to merge lists in Excel.
