Map Alfabet objects

You can map an Alfabet object to an ARIS object. Multiple mapping is not possible. By default, objects of the Application system type type can be mapped to objects of the Alfabet Application table. If you want to use other object types or Alfabet tables, you must adapt the configuration files according to the Alfabet REST API version in use.

Prerequisite

The database is connected with Alfabet.

Procedure

  1. Using the Explorer tab, log in to the database.
  2. Navigate to a mapped object of the Application system type type or select the object in a model.
  3. Activate the Contents tab bar.
  4. Click Alfabet Alfabet > Map Alfabet object Map Alfabet object. The Select Alfabet object dialog opens. All Alfabet objects are listed that match the settings for individual mapping.
  5. Select the Alfabet object class or table, for example, Application. You will see only those Alfabet objects you have the privileges to use. If you start typing the object name into the Filter field, the number of entries will decrease.
  6. Click Refresh Refresh, if objects are missing in the list. If an object is not available, you can create it in Alfabet.
  7. Double-click the Alfabet object you want to map to the ARIS object.

    The attributes defined in the configuration file are applied to the Alfabet object. For the Application system type type these are the following attributes by default:

    Name

    Description/Definition

    Release

The Alfabet object is mapped to the ARIS object. The name of the Alfabet object is now used for the ARIS object. Additional attributes have been entered for this object in the Alfabet attribute type group.

The mapping remains until the object is unmapped. Administrators can delete all mappings at once.
