(No BPMN files found in input/bpmn/ for this capability.)
Business roles and responsibilities will be derived from BPMN swim lane assignments when process models are available.
Data flows with DB platform details will be populated when tower architects complete the extended flow template columns (42-47) via the Input Portal.
DATA ARCHITECTURE — Database-to-database data flows. Applications (blue) sit above their hosting databases (green cylinders). Thick arrows show data movement between databases.
Data lineage (source schema/object → target schema/object mappings) will be populated when tower architects provide validated schema details via the Input Portal.
RICEFW data objects (Reports and Conversions) will be auto-populated from the Smartsheet Object Tracker when matched to this capability.
| Concern | Approach |
