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
If you want to make executables also available in ARIS Connect, make sure to use SAP® Solution Manager 7.2. The former version is not supported.
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.
If you have an on-premise installation, that is, you have installed ARIS 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 for test purposes or to synchronize a small number of data. You must not use the ARIS Architect option to synchronize productive data, such as large SAP projects containing a high number of documents. This carries a high risk that the resulting data will be inconsistent if connection problems have occurred. Note that using ARIS Architect for accessing SAP systems in local or private cloud scenarios is not recommended and must not be used for synchronizing productive data. If the connection breaks down, this will result in inconsistent data. If your company has a strict network separation within the own environment, you can select the ARIS Architect option for test purposes or to synchronize a small number of data only.
Only if you currently use a public cloud surrounding and you want to expand to ARIS Advanced, you can select the ARIS Architect option to test the SAP synchronization.
The options are saved.
