ARIS for SAP Solutions

If you selected ARIS for SAP® Solutions as a perspective, you need to configure the connection parameters for the relevant SAP systems.

Further information on this perspective is available in the help under ARIS for SAP® Solutions.

To enable data to be exchanged between ARIS and SAP® systems, you must specify the following settings. In addition, you can enable a wizard to create structural elements, executables, and documents.

Procedure

  1. To synchronize data between ARIS and SAP® Solution Manager and run executables with SAP® Solution Manager 7.1 or 7.2, ensure that project configurations or solution configurations have been created.
  2. Click ARIS > Options. The Options dialog opens.
  3. Click SAP® options > Select server on the Selection tab.
  4. If you want to run executables without SAP Solution Manager, ensure that the correct path to the saplogon.ini file or the SAPUILandscape.xml file is specified in the Path to INI/XML file box.
  5. Disable the Use default server for running executable check box.
  6. Click SAP® options > Solution Manager on the Selection tab, and enable the Open supporting dialog check box.

    The dialog assists you in creating new structural elements, executables, and documents. This ensures that the consistency rules are met and that synchronization is performed correctly.

  7. If you use solution configurations or project configurations and run executables with SAP® Solution Manager, enable the Run executables with SAP® Solution Manager check box.
  8. Make sure to select the required ARIS component that will connect to the SAP system.

    If you have an on-premise installation, that is, you have installed ARIS Server or ARIS Connect Server and you are using ARIS Download Client or locally installed ARIS Clients, select the ARIS Server option. When using an on-premise installation or a private cloud, if a connection cannot be established due to firewall restrictions or if a VPN tunnel cannot be established, you can select the ARIS Architect option. Note that using ARIS Architect for accessing SAP systems in local or private cloud scenarios is not recommended and should be the absolute exception.

    Only if you use a public cloud surrounding, you must select the ARIS Architect option.

  9. Specify the relevant settings and click OK.

The options are saved.
