Does anyone have any guidance on the creation of organizationally defined _type entries?  I cant seem to find anything in the documentation and there are a couple of types that we would require such as Desktop, Desktop Cloud, and other types to help categories our software technologies.

Can you give us more details of what you are trying to do ?

 

You mentioned the Software Technology metaclass. Are you ITPM user or IT Architecture user ?

 

If you are ITPM user one way to create the new type is to use the desktop client.

  1. Connect with a user that has a rule HOPEX Customizer
  2. search the meetaclass _Type with filter on name "Technologies"
  3. Right click on the Technologies Types and click Explore
  4. enable to view "yellow" folder
  5. in the section "Subset_type" create your new type
  6. in the newly created item make sure they are connect on Stereotyping link to (technology/_type)
  7. Don't forget to translate the label if you are in different language.
  8. You may need to recompile the metamodel in the administration part.

Attached 2 screenshots of the steps.

 

Hope this help.
