Bump - anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi,

This question should better be posted on the ArchiMate Community...

That being said, If you want to keep things as simple as possible (prefered approach IMHO), yes a Communication Network is fine. If you are doing some more advanced modeling, then a Path realized by some Communication Networks (such as Internet), and aggregating elements such as a System Software 'VNP Client', and a Node 'VPN Concentrator') would be best.

Regards,

JB

Quote from: Phil Beauvoir on March 26, 2024, 10:49:12 AMThere is another way to (manually) add an element and all of its connected elements to a View:

1. Create a blank View
2. Select the element you require in the Models Tree
3. In the Properties window, select the "Analysis" tab
4. Drag and drop all the relations in the "Model Relations" table onto the View

Is there an exciting script? I just want a script that creates a view that includes all made conections by that object. This to easily see for example which applications a certain bussines actor uses?

I have found this but it does not seem to work = https://gist.github.com/jbsarrodie/9bcab008be7f7e75b737e43bfab43048

Normally, a user will create custom Views by adding concepts manually from the Models Tree. If you have a particular requirement to add certain concepts to a View automatically then you'll need to create a jArchi script. Because Archi cannot support every unique and particular use case for all users we created jArchi, the scripting plug-in, to address this.

Hi, thanks for the response. However the view is restricted.
For example i want to have a bussines actor connected to a procces, connected to a application service and then the application. When i try to generate a view. I only get the bussines actor and the proces. I would like to see the whole chain. Is that possible within archi itself or will a plugin be necesary?

Hi,

there is the "Generate View For" command where a view is created for an element and all of its connections. See the section "Generate a View from Elements" in the Archi User Guide. If this is not sufficient, you could automate it with a jArchi script.
