Creating custom EA Diagrams & Reports - Help please.

Hi,

for Diagram 1 you should go into Tag Manager and create a Tag for the project you are interested in. Tag all project objects with the name of the tag. The new tag should be high enough in the structure that you can see all other applications in a single structure. For example,

HOME

¦

-> 'My Project'

¦

-> 'Everything else'

Then in Diagrammer use the Group By option and select 'HOME' (the top level tag) and create your digram of choice - e.g. Call Map

You will be able to see the interfaces visually abut can also create a report from the 'File' menu called 'Save Blackbox Interface Report'. You can take the same approach for things like Data Flow, shared Tables, etc by selecting the right diagram scope.

For Option 2, there are probably several answers depending on your environment and database. For jobs running programs accessing table you will need to create something like this:

Left           Relationship                            Right

JOB          Runs Program                         PROGRAM

JOB          Runs Program thru Decision   PROGRAM

Program   DeletesTable                           Table

Program   InsertsTable                             Table

Program   ReadsTable                             Table

Program   UpdatesTable                          Table

I can send you the scope if you email me at neil.shaw@microfocus.com

Sorry for Diagram 2,

if the program that accesses the table is called by another program, that is, not run directly in the job, you will need to add two more relationships:

PROGRAM        CallsProgram                          PROGRAM

PROGRAM        CallsProgramThruDecision     PROGRAM

That should pick up program usage down the chain from the 1st run program.

Remember to change the base colour of the Table and Job objects, the default colour is the same as the program object.

Thank you so much. It worked perfectly!
