Digital interfaces in Enterprise Architecture Workspace

Manage all your digital interfaces from the Portfolio page of the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.

Digital interfaces are provided as part of a business application, but they can also stand on their own. Interfaces provide a way for other business applications to interact with the applications. An interface contains the metadata about itself, such as its Name, Version, Owners, Protocol. It also contains a list of all the integrations that are using that interface.

The Digital Interfaces page displays a list of existing digital interfaces and their related information. You can access the Digital Interfaces page by navigating to Workspaces > Enterprise Architecture Workspace > Portfolio > Application Portfolio > Digital Interfaces.

The relationship helps you find out which digital integration uses which API, which APIs are built out of the design specs of the digital interface, and what environments are deployed. The relationship helps to group the deployed APIs.
• Manage architectural artifacts of a digital interface in EA Workspace
  You can create new, add, or remove the architectural artifacts that are associated with a digital interface.
• Relate an SDLC component to a digital interface
  Associate an SDLC component to a digital interface in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. The SDLC components represent the artifacts or configurations that are used to implement an Interface.
• Relate an information object to a digital interface
  Associate an information object to a digital interface in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. You can also define how the information object should be consumed within the digital interface.
