There is no data in the portfolio advisor section even after clicking on the "Compute" button in the page.
Solution
- Make sure to click on the Compute button located at the top right corner of the page.
- For Portfolio Advisor for Software Maintenance the segment that is not specifically related to the software maintenance survey may not display any of the applications onboarded. The solution is to apply the software maintenance survey to all applications and if further refinement is needed then customize the segments.
- For Open Source default segmentation, check if the results fit into any of the default segments. The default segments are mainly for high BI applications or low OSS scoring applications which is what that is trying to be highlighted by the Portfolio Advisor for Open Source. If you want to take into account, applications having low BI and moderately high OSS scores, you can customize to create another segment,
- If you are still not able to see any data then, please check the parameters specified in the JSON configuration file. If the onboarded applications parameters falls between the criteria set in the JSON file, then only results will be visible in the portfolio advisor page. To see the formulas for each segment in the segmentation.json file for each advisor (go into custom segmentation, then choose the portfolio advisor you are interested in and then go to the customize tab and download the current json file).
For eg
for the category "Consider Alternate Components', only those applications with a Business Intelligence score of >50 and <75 with an Open Source Safety scores of <100 will only be considered.
Users can use the original CAST-calculated recommended segments or create Custom Portfolio Segmentation. Users themselves can calculate and evaluate their segmentation criteria using a Formula Helper available in the "Customize" view. Users can also roll-back to the original CAST-calculated recommended segments. For more details about configuring the JSON file please refer Custom Portfolio Segmentation
