Start batch file for export to PPM for Process Governance

To perform process monitoring, export the relevant data by using a batch file to make the data available to PPM for Process Governance.

Data of objects of the Human task type is exported.

Procedure

  1. You can start the batch file export4ppm.bat manually or by using Windows Scheduler (AT command). You will find the file in your ARIS Server installation.

    If you have installed the ARIS Server in the directory C:\Software AG\ARIS, you will find the file under C:\Software AG\ARIS\server\bin\work\work_apg_m\tools\bin.

    If you do not explicitly enter a date, the current date is used.

  2. Open a command line (for Windows® operating systems: Start > Run > cmd).
  3. Navigate on your hard disk to where the batch file is stored.
  4. Start the batch file manually using the following parameters: y-export4ppm –f –s -e -p -t. For Unix operating systems use the file y-export4ppm.sh.

    f: File name of the target file to which the data will be written - mandatory input.

    s: Start date for the data export, rounded to the start of the day - optional.

    e: End date for the data export, rounded to the end of the day - optional.

    Enter the start or end date exactly in the following format: yyyy-MM-dd.

    Example: 2010-11-22

    p: Password for the login of the user system - mandatory input.

    t: Name of the client to be used - mandatory input.

    apg: End point for Process Governance - optional.

    umc: End point for the user management in ARIS - optional.

    If you do not specify a start date but only an end date, all data from the start of the process to the specified end date will be exported.

    If you do not specify an end date but just a start date, all data from the database will be exported.

    If you do not specify any date, all processes of the current day will be exported.

    File names can contain absolute or relative paths. If you want to use spaces, you need to place the path name in quotation marks.

    Example: "d:\tmp\age data.xml"

  5. Save the file under <PPM for Process Governance installation directory>\custom\ppm4APG\data\APG. You have to replace the content in angle brackets with your installation paths.

When the data for PPM for Process Governance is ready, you must import it into PPM for Process Governance. It is then available for further analyses in PPM for Process Governance.
