Create a digital integration in Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management), to create a connection between a consuming business application and a provider business
application.

## About this task

The digital integration is a design object used by the Enterprise Architects. It describes a connection between two business applications or between a business application and an external service (for example: AWS, Yahoo, a
TimeZone Conversion service) that provides an interface (API) to interact with.

You can define why a connection is required between two data entities, over which Interfaces they should communicate, and provides a link to relevant design and architectural material. A Digital Integration underpins a business
capability and provides business value.

## Before you begin

Important:  
Starting with the Xanadu release, the legacy digital integrations module is moved to the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. To learn more, see [Add or edit a digital integration in the EA Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/wtpXRDnoM3baCvaKPbtVzg "Add a digital integration or edit an existing digital integration in the EA Workspace. The digital integration is a design object used by the Enterprise Architects. It describes a connection between two business applications or between a business application and an external service (for example: AWS, Yahoo, a TimeZone Conversion service) that provides an interface (API) to interact with.").
If you have an Enterprise Architecture user role (sn_apm.apm_user), use the Business Application Life-cycle Management services to request, add, or retire a business application.

Role required: sn_apm.apm_analyst

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllEnterprise ArchitectureApplication PortfolioDigital Integrations.
2. Select New
3. On the Create Digital Integration form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [Create digital integration form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r4Xwn08eilddoeMgFFry2A "Use the Create Digital Integration form to create a digital integration between two business applications.").
4. Select Submit.

## Result

On the Digital Integrations page, a success message and the link to the newly created digital integration appear.

After submission of the form, within the CMDB platform, a CI relationship (Interfaces::Interfaced By) gets created between provider and subscriber business applications. In a case, where the digital interface has no relation to
a business application (using Open or Public API), the digital integration is created between the subscriber business application and a standalone digital interface.
