The SAP® C_LIXEA certification checks whether you can actually use SAP LeanIX to run enterprise architecture work, not merely describe it. It spans getting started with the tool and its meta model, the modeling guidelines that govern different fact sheet types, importing data to populate the inventory, and two practical use cases — assessing an application portfolio and rationalizing applications — along with meta model configuration, collaboration and adoption settings, diagrams, and the platform's standard integrations. Because it is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment, the exam rewards applied reasoning: you work through a realistic situation and choose the right LeanIX approach rather than answering isolated recall questions. The content is written for the consultant profile at an entry-level, project-participation depth.
The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
Getting started with LeanIX — a first look at the platform, understanding the meta model that structures the inventory, and the collaboration basics that let a team work together on the enterprise architecture.
Applying the general modeling guidelines, working with the LeanIX fact sheet and its various fact sheet types, and using reports to surface architecture insight from the modeled landscape.
Getting data into LeanIX to populate the inventory — bringing existing landscape information into the tool so fact sheets reflect the organization's real applications and technology.
Working through the first practical use case — assessing an application portfolio step by step to evaluate the landscape and support architecture decisions.
Modeling further fact sheet types such as IT component, tech category, platform, and initiative, then configuring the meta model and applying data-quality assurance to keep the inventory reliable.
Configuring adoption and advanced collaboration — collaboration features, to-dos, automations, and the LeanIX portal — to drive engagement and keep the architecture data current.
Using LeanIX diagrams (free-draw and data-flow), delivering the advanced application rationalization use case, and understanding the platform's standard out-of-the-box integrations.
