Modify configuration of Alfabet REST API v1

Alfabet interoperability is available for objects of the Application system type type by default. Objects can be mapped to Alfabet objects of the Application table. If you want to define other ARIS object types or tables, you must create additional <object>…</object> entries or change the table value. Use the ARIS-ALFABET-mapping.xml configuration file as a guide for entering the attribute types.

Warning

For security reason we recommend to use Alfabet REST API v2.

After a program update all changes made to standard scripts and files are lost. If you adapt a duplicated file, the file will not be affected by the program update. Original XML files are overwritten and updated. After an update you must copy the adapted lines into the new XML file.
