You select the context of IT landscape planning in one of the following ways:
by selecting a model that contains column and row headers,
by selecting column or row headers,
by selecting process support units (PSUs), or
by selecting object occurrences of header object types or process support units (PSUs).
All associated PSUs and their assignments are evaluated for the IT landscape planning context thus defined.
You select the context of assignments in one of the following ways:
by selecting assignment objects or their occurrences,
by selecting any component that is used for documenting the technical architecture and is therefore associated with an IT system (Application system type object type), or
by selecting application system classes used in a quadrant of a system portfolio.
If you have selected quadrants or components, all relevant assignments are also considered. If assignments are IT system instances or application system classes, all associated IT systems will be included in the selection. The relevant process support information (IT landscape planning context) will be found for all assignments found or selected. In contrast to directly selected IT landscape planning context (see above), only those assignments are evaluated that are directly selected or related to the selection.
Output format
An output file is created according to the context and chart options you selected. It contains all required charts including the legend and short description.
