This example shows the basic steps that need to be performed when modeling and implementing a business process in a service-oriented architecture environment.
First, a business process is modeled as a model of the EPC type, then transformed into a BPMN diagram, and finally implemented in Software AG Designer. It is assumed that you are a member of the stated user groups and have the stated roles.
In this scenario, processes without services are modeled in ARIS and transferred to Software AG Designer for implementation. Implementation then takes place there.
Prerequisite
You have activated the webMethods integration perspective.
Procedure
Prepare the project. To do so, extend the filter ARIS webMethods integrationto meet your requirements.
Transform the EPC into a BPMN diagram (Business analyst user group). The semantic checks run automatically. The BPMN diagram has the Transformed from business process integration status.
Refine the BPMN diagram (Process engineer user group). The status of the BPMN diagram remains Transformed from business process.
Start the 'Share with IT' workflow, with the process being automatically transferred to Software AG Designer (Process engineer user group). The semantic checks run automatically. The BPMN diagram now has the In development integration status.
A notification is automatically sent to all process developers responsible with the Process developer role in Software AG Designer. A process developer imports the process. The BPMN diagram now has the status In development in the workflow.
Refine the process (Process Developer role) with Software AG Designer. The BPMN diagram now has the In development integration status.
Update the process after development has been completed (Process developer role). A notification is automatically sent to the user of the Process engineer user group in ARIS who started the 'Share with IT' workflow. The BPMN diagram now has the status Ready for import in the workflow.
You are notified by e-mail and confirm the update of the BPMN diagram as a user in the Process Engineer user group in ARIS. The process is automatically imported and the BPMN diagram updated. In practice, there will be several test cycles before final approval of the implementation. After approval, the BPMN diagram has the status Implemented in the governance workflow.
Optional step in case the business process needs to be adapted later in its lifecycle. You adapt the EPC and transform it into a BPMN diagram again (Business analyst user group).
