Create an information object to capture the logical data for the business application. This data becomes information when it’s applied to the business application.

Before you begin

Important:

Starting with the Xanadu release, the legacy information objects module has been deprecated from Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management). However, if you’re an existing user of Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management), you can still use the legacy information objects module. If you’re a new activation user, the legacy information objects module isn’t available.

You can leverage the same feature by using the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. To learn more, see Manage information objects.

Role required: sn_apm.apm_user

The Application Portfolio Analyst and Application Portfolio User can create information object, relate business application to information object, and relate information object to database catalog.

After creating an information object, you must relate a business application to the information object with the CMDB CI suggested relationship.
