    About this task

    You can create or update the scoring profile with new indicators and associate it with the business application. You can also use the same indicators within many scoring profiles, which generate indicator scores unique to that scoring profile.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Enterprise Architecture > Administration > Scoring Profiles.
    2. Click New.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.
      For field information, see Scoring Profile form.
    4. Right-click the form header and click Save.

      After creating a score profile, you must associate a profile indicator to the score profile.

    5. In the Profile Indicators related list, add indicators.
      1. Click New.
      2. On the form, fill in the fields.
        Table 1. Profile Indicator form
        Field Description
        Profile Name of the application profile.
        Indicator Name of the application indicator.
        Evaluate within Application Scoring Profile Option for considering the business applications tied to the selected scoring profile in the evaluation of scores.

        Clearing the check box entails evaluation of all business applications within the enterprise or across all scoring profiles.
        Domain The domain to which this indicator belongs.
        Used in CI score calculation Option for using the application indicator in calculating the application score.
        Weightage Numeral for the indicator.

        Weightage provided in the application score profile for an indicator contributes to the total score of the application.

        An indicator that is added to the profile can be a parent indicator with dependent child indicators. When such a parent indicator is added to a scoring profile, then all its dependent child indicators are also added with weightage 0, if they are not already present in the scoring profile.

        For more information on how to create a dependent indicator, see Create or edit an indicator to assess an application.

      3. Click Submit.

    What to do next

    Regenerate scores: Click the Regenerate scores button to regenerate the scores of all the indicators attached to the scoring profile. This action deletes the existing scores and generates new scores instead of just updating the existing scores. Therefore, the scores of all the business applications that are associated to this scoring profile are also recalculated.

    You can schedule a job to calculate application scores periodically.
