Enterprise Architecture Workspace Configuration - Business Portfolio

[Zach Allen1]

Hello all,

We have recently adopted a new Business Capability hierarchy that I am wanting to import into our production instance, but we have existing capability data that would be considered legacy. Although these are records I will be looking to remove in the future, we were planning to keep them in the system to allow for some data cleanup efforts while still allowing us to move on the new data set.

Question:

Is there a way in EA Workspace - Business Portfolio to only show Business Capabilities that match some condition (i.e. Hierarchy ID is not 0 or Hierarchy ID is NOT empty, Active = True, etc.)?

Attaching a screenshot for reference of old and new data that are showing today. I am not seeing a way to quickly modify the Business Portfolio section but not wanting to tweak too much.

Thanks,
Zach

Hello Zach,

Unfortunately, there is no direct option to filter data in the Business Portfolio view. The purpose of this view is to display the Business Capability hierarchy, and it pulls data directly from the cmdb_ci_business_capability table. If you wish to keep the legacy capabilities but exclude them from the Business Portfolio view, you can mark them as Active = False in the source table (cmdb_ci_business_capability). After doing this, you'll need to click the Update Hierarchies button in the Business Portfolio view to reflect the new structure. Please note that this process may take some time as it triggers a background scheduled job. I hope this answers your question
