Before you start a project including business process modeling, transformation, and implementation, you need to prepare it.
Procedure
Find out if there are already models that you can reuse or adapt, or if you need to start a completely new project. Please ensure that the database being used in ARIS is versionable.
Agree on a language to be used for modeling. Normally, this is the language of the operating system in use.
In ARIS, define who is to model or change the business process.
In ARIS, define who is to support the users from the Business analyst user group in specifying requirements of a service, or help the users identify and use already existing matching services or reveal change potential (member of the Process engineer user group).
In ARIS, define who is to model the BPMN diagram (Process engineer user group).
In Software AG Designer (Process developer user group), define who is to implement the process.
Optional, but mandatory when using ARIS Publisher: In ARIS, create the relevant users with their specific user groups and privileges (Process engineer and Process developer) to ensure that systems and users (Business analyst, Process engineer - member of the Process engineer group and the Process developer - member of the Process developer user group) can communicate smoothly.
In ARIS, generate the user group arisservice for the users. This group is necessary for information exchange between ARIS Architect and Software AG Designer. Assign the arisservice user group the filter ARIS-webMethods integration.
Assign the users in CentraSite the Asset Administrator role, or define at least the Modify Assets privilege for the relevant users.
Define who is to contact who, especially in case of errors or if troubleshooting is necessary for implementation.
Define whether you want to use the entire functionality or the ARIS-webMethods integration filter.
Import all services from CentraSite that you know could be required in the database you are modeling in.
You set up a project.
Users that work in the same ARIS database, but belong to different CentraSite organizations are usually not able to view the assets of the other organizations. This also applies to the application server asset representing the ARIS database. To avoid this problem, we recommend that you include all users of an ARIS database in a single CentraSite organization. Alternatively, you can add the users to a group in CentraSite and assign the required read and write privileges to this group.
