2.4 Companion Documents

Document Description
Business Architecture Included in this document (Section 3) — process flows from BPMN diagrams
This Document Full BDAT Architecture — Business + Data + Application + Technology

3. Business Architecture (TOGAF “B”)

3.1 Business Process Overview

(No BPMN files found in input/bpmn/ for this capability.)

3.3 Business Roles & Responsibilities

Business roles and responsibilities will be derived from BPMN swim lane assignments when process models are available.

4.1 Data Flows — Source to Target

Data flows with DB platform details will be populated when tower architects complete the extended flow template columns (42-47) via the Input Portal.

4.2 Data Flow Diagrams

DATA ARCHITECTURE — Database-to-database data flows. Applications (blue) sit above their hosting databases (green cylinders). Thick arrows show data movement between databases.

4.3 Data Lineage

Data lineage (source schema/object → target schema/object mappings) will be populated when tower architects provide validated schema details via the Input Portal.

4.4 RICEFW Data Objects
