After you have modeled your business process, define simulation-relevant output data, such as times, costs, quantities, etc., for activities, dialogs, script services, and Web services. Then start the simulation of the executable process (Process Governance Simulation). If the simulation of a process instance fails, the Process Governance administrator receives a notification and a message is displayed in Console. Use the error log on the Messages on executable processes bar ( Explorer tab) and the Governance simulation bar (
model tab) to identify and solve errors in the simulation data or in process modeling. Further information about the simulation is provided in process administration on History and Instances. If necessary, correct errors in the modeling or the output data. If you changed the simulation data only, restart the simulation. If you changed the business process, you must update the executable process before you start the simulation.
Under ARIS > Options > Process automation > Simulation you can specify the simulation settings. Alternatively, you can adjust the settings for the current simulation run after starting the simulation using the configuration in the Simulate governance process dialog.
Please note the following:
Sample processes with predefined simulation data are available in the reference database Governance Automation Models.
