Build and view roadmap hierarchy in the request level

You can build roadmap hierarchy in the request level if your administrator has done the following:

  • Set desired request types as roadmap types
  • Defined roadmap hierarchy in the request level

For information of the above configuration, see the Application Portfolio Management Administrator Guide.

Note: If your administrator used the database view APM_ROADMAP_ENTITY_HIERARCHY_V to define roadmap hierarchy, the system generates the roadmap hierarchy according to the view your administrator has defined. You do not need to build roadmap hierarchy by the following instructions.

To build and view roadmap hierarchy in the request level:

  1. Open the request detail page where you want to build roadmap hierarchy.

  2. In the table component field that your administrator created to store child entities, click Edit.

    This field switches to the edit mode. The following is only an example of the filed. The field name and its columns can be customized.

  3. Click Add Row to enter the child entity information.
  4. Repeat step 3 until you add all the child entities information.

  5. The system fetches the child entities information from the table and generates the roadmap hierarchy in the Roadmap section on the entity detail page.

    The following is an example of the roadmap hierarchy.

    Note:  

    • By default, the roadmap hierarchy can have 5 levels in depth, displaying no more than 1000 requests along with their roadmaps. It allows more or less levels depending on how your administrator sets the parameter APM_ROADMAP_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_LEVEL.

    • A request may have more than one roadmap, however, only the active and last updated roadmap is displayed in the roadmap hierarchy. If the request does not have an active roadmap, the right side of the request line is empty.
