External links include links to Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, digital photos, Internet or e-mail addresses, etc., all of which are linked via the various attributes of an object. You can select links to be included in a Publisher export in the Profile Wizard (ARIS > Options > Publisher export profiles).
SAP® executables and R/3 help if ccnfigured.
Links can be run if you observe the following:
Ensure that the necessary programs have been installed on the computers (for example, Microsoft® Word for files with the extension DOC, Microsoft® Excel for files with the extension XLS).
If you have enabled the Copy documents check box and started ARIS Server as a service on the Include links page of the Profile Wizard (ARIS > Options > Publisher export profiles), make sure that your authorization concept permits access to linked documents.
Ensure that names of linked documents do not contain any spaces and that the file names are written in lower case letters. Some browsers do not work correctly if this condition is not met. Links will not be executed in that case.
