Hi,

Quote from: Jean-Baptiste Sarrodie on February 16, 2024, 10:58:21 AMI'll share this here in the coming weeks.

I'm still working on it internally (as usual, this takes more time than expected)...

Quote from: rchevallier on Today at 13:09:14 PMuid are opaque and technical and specific to a model
Just for reconciling shared objects between imported sources, I'm using an custom uri built, and which is stored as a property.

Some advices:
- A reference model is a model which has its own lifecycle
- Stable versions of a reference model are imported into other models, which can then reuse some views of concepts (but not alter them)
- When a newer version is published, the reference model is imported again, which updates its content into the target model, without impacting other part of the model
- Because importing a model cannot remove objects, a good practice is to set a property (e.g. "Lifecycle Status") on each objects to know if they are CURRENT or DEPRECATED. This way, it becomes possible to check objects which are now deprecated and analyse the impact on the target model.

JB

uid are opaque and technical and specific to a model

Just for reconciling shared objects between imported sources, I'm using an custom uri built, and which is stored as a property.

ex: for a database table data object the uri I create is __uri=db://<instance>/<database>.<schema>.<table>
The source extraction and reconciliation scripts/programs are using this property __uri as the identifier

General Archi Discussion / Re: How would u model a vpn?

There is a decent example on the bizzdesign documentation site



This shows the realisation at the tech layer of how the VPN components.

You could represent VPN as a path, or as a network, depending on what you are intending to describe in the view

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
