Report: 02 SAP Solution Manager 7.2 migration – Resolve shortcuts

Use

This report is the second to be used while migrating databases containing SAP projects, using SAP Solution Manager 7.1 to SAP solutions, using SAP Solution Manager 7.2.

Only run this report if the 7.1 project uses shortcuts. It replaces each shortcut occurrence by a new occurrence based on definition which is a copy of the shortcut's definition.

In EPC based models the report creates a new definition from the one used by the shortcut. The definition is identical in attributes and direct properties to the definition of the shortcut. Only the name carries the copy prefix. The definition is placed into the database group where the model is stored. It creates a new occurrence based on the old one. The new occurrence is identical in all properties to the old one, e. g. attribute occurrences, unions, symbols, position, size, etc. New connections based on the old ones are created. The new ones are identical in all direct properties to the old ones (arrow style, connection point, pen, etc.). Assignments or master relations are ignored as they refer to the original only.

Since the migration ID of the 7.2 solution is the same for shortcuts and the activity they refer to, the shortcuts will receive the same SAP IDs. Assignments from the shortcut definition will be ignored. The symbol for the new occurrence is specified in the project configuration. As it is not available to the report, you must select the desired symbol.

In BPMN-based models distinct definitions for shortcuts already exist. You only need to replace the BPMN call activity by a task of your choice. However on process level the disband process on SAP side will create new steps. These are unknown to ARIS. There is no way to create a mapping for them. You must remodel the process manually after the respective steps have been synchronized to ARIS.

In the 7.1 project for each occurrence with the shortcut symbol type you now have a new definition with the same attributes and a new identical occurrence. It looks exactly the same as before, except the symbol type has changed from shortcut to the one you have defined. In BPMNTM the User task is in use instead of Call activity. All Call activity properties have been removed.

When executed all migrated shortcuts are listed in the report output file.
