Highlight builds up the application link map based on the survey inputs from all the application contributors .
Details
The application link map survey can be created by the portfolio manager.
The survey should be filled by each Application contributor.
The survey should have question for each different types of link ( API, FTP/SFTP, SOAP).
Each question should collect information about the incoming link (from which application), the outgoing link (to which application).
If it is not possible to fill the survey manually. Highlights public API can be used by each application contributor to automatically answer these “link” questions using third-party application dependency discovery tools.
HIGHLIGHT consolidates the information from all the surveys submitted by each Application contributor into a visual and interactive global map.
This map is beneficial when in the application portfolio there are thousands of applications with each application having multiple incoming/outgoing links, a global map of which is otherwise difficult to build.
