Transfer models to SAP® Solution Manager

You can upload process models and process diagram variants as BPMN diagrams to the SAP system. ARIS models are automatically converted to BPMN diagrams of the selected type. Models of the EPC and the Value-added chain diagram types are always converted. Models of all other types that are relevant for SAP synchronization are converted only if modeling rules are violated. If a model cannot be converted, the model is not transferred. For BPMN diagrams available in ARIS, the layout of the ARIS diagrams is used. If ARIS models are converted, by default, the layout for generated BPMN diagrams is Horizontal and the System landscape is used as a target diagram subtype. You can select other settings, if required.

Prerequisite

Procedure

  1. In ARIS Architect, click ARIS > Explorer Explorer.
  2. Log in to the database managing the desired SAP content.
  3. Start SAP® synchronization. The Synchronization Wizard opens.
  4. On the Select options wizard page, enable the Transfer data to SAP® Solution Manager option.
  5. Navigate to the Transfer models wizard page.
  6. Enable the Transfer models check box.
  7. Optionally, enable the Transfer process diagram variants check box.
  8. If required, specify additional settings and click Finish.

The synchronization starts and the models are transferred to SAP Solution Manager.

Process diagram variants are transferred only if process variant models are assigned to the related SAP functions of the Process function type. For process variants, you can only use model types that can be assigned to a function multiple times, such as Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagrams. The assigned models must have the Process variant SAP model type. All entities contained in the process variants are reused in SAP Solution Manager.
