What are our architectural dependencies?
The business question What are our architectural dependencies? helps you to identify how application complexity may be reduced, understand the business data that may be at risk, and assess potential challenges to application migration.
Review the flow chart to understand the information flows for the selected application. Incoming information flows start with the source application and point to the selected application. Outgoing information flows start with the selected application and point to the target application. Point to an information flow to show a tooltip with the following information: Source application > target application.
A filter setting is mandatory for this business question. Click the 
local filter button and select an application in the Application field.
The flow report shows the application selected in the mandatory Application filter in the center of the visualization. Here's how to interpret the information:
- The selected application's outgoing information flows point to the target application of the flow.
- The selected application's incoming information flows point to the source application.
- The information flows are colored based on their object state.
Applications must must be in the repository and their information flows should be well documented.
Go to the Data Quality page and resolve the issues to ensure that the data is complete.
Go to the Data Source page to review the applications and their information flows are used to answer the business question. The data source is a list report and cannot be edited.
