What does synchronization from SAP Solution Manager to ARIS include?
If items exist in both ARIS and SAP® Solution Manager, the scope information (in scope/out of scope) will be compared during synchronization. You determine whether the items are synchronized recursively or non-recursively. Items not included in the scope are displayed with deactivated symbols in models of the ARIS database. In addition, you can specify whether documents specified in the SAP® Solution Manager project on the General documentation and Project documentation tabs are transferred, updated, or deleted. You can open these documents from ARIS.
If you are synchronizing data that does not exist in ARIS:
objects will be created and the Name, SAP ID, and SAP function type attributes will be entered.
an empty EPC will be assigned to a function and the Name, SAP ID, and SAP model type model attributes will be entered.
If you selected Include subordinate items, this EPC will be filled with objects.
If a process does not yet exist in ARIS, a function allocation diagram will be assigned to the corresponding object.
If a function allocation diagram of the same name already exists, executables and documents are checked, and added, if necessary.
an occurrence of the function will be displayed in the parent EPC. The scope information will be included.
If you synchronize objects that do not exist in SAP® Solution Manager:
occurrences (functions) will be deleted in the parent EPC, or deactivated depending on the settings.
definitions of the object to be deleted will not be deleted.
Transfers items changed in SAP® Solution Manager to the ARIS database.
Make sure that you define the main system. This prevents data from being edited in both systems and changes from being overwritten (see Security advice).
Performs a test synchronization and checks whether the consistency rules have been observed. No data is transferred during the consistency check, but errors and warnings are output in the log file. Use the log file to resolve possible errors. The log file is located in the project configuration of the relevant project.
Transfers new shortcuts to the target system. If you move shortcuts, you must enable this check box to ensure that they are included in the synchronization. Otherwise, moved shortcuts will be deleted.
Shortcuts can be used multiple times in a project. Shortcuts are ignored in test scenarios. Depending on the synchronization direction, they are either created in SAP® Solution Manager, in which case a new SAP ID is assigned, or they are deleted from ARIS.
Shortcuts are represented using these symbols in event-driven process chains and value-added chains:
You can use shortcuts only in the same project in which the linked object definition is managed. Both object definition and shortcut must be included in the synchronization set.
Note that the SAP® Solution Manager 7.2 does not support shortcuts.
If you changed the order in the Define order (Business Blueprint) dialog, items are displayed in the modified order in your SAP® Solution Manager project after SAP® synchronization.
The order must not contain any gaps or double entries.
Creates new executables in ARIS. Executables represented as Screen objects in function allocation diagrams are updated.
If you also select the Include Executable Library synchronization option in the Synchronization Wizard's Transfer assignments dialog, the Executable Library is updated as well.
This help provides detailed information on executables of the types SAP transaction and Program.
This check box is only available for SAP® Synchronization using the Transfer data to SAP® Solution Manager option. If you select the Transfer help URL option, the synchronization may take longer in some cases.
Deleted structural elements are deleted also in the target system.
Note
If you moved items, you must enable the Transfer new items check box for the items that were moved to be included in the synchronization. Otherwise, moved structural elements will be deleted.
Deleted shortcuts are deleted in the target system. If you enable the Set deleted items "out of scope" only option, the shortcuts are retained in the target system, but removed from the scope. Please pay attention to the security advice.
Deletes the attribute values from ARIS if a global attribute, which was transferred to the database, was assigned to an element in SAP® Solution Manager and a global attribute is now no longer assigned to the element.
This check box is only available if you transfer data to ARIS.
Deleted structural elements or executables are deleted in the target system, as well.
Note
If you moved items, you must enable the Transfer new items check box for the items that were moved to be included in the synchronization. Otherwise, moved structural elements will be deleted.
Deleted structural elements or executables will be removed from the scope in the target system (out of scope). The structural elements or executables will not be deleted in the target system. You can select this option only for implementation projects.
Assigns documents in function allocation diagrams (FAD). You can find these documents on the General documentation, Project documentation, Test cases, and Training documentation tabs in SAP® Solution Manager 7.1. In Solution Manager 7.2 documents are listed for related elements. If you enabled Transfer master data, the master data documents are also transferred to the ARIS database.
Transfers the related master data from SAP® Solution Manager to the ARIS database. In the branch/project group, one model is created for each of the EPC and VACD types with the associated scenarios, as well as the Master data subgroup. A model of the FAD type containing an occurrence of the project function is also created. The project function is an SAP function of the Project SAP function type that represents the root of the branch or project. All relevant master data and system types are assigned. Documents and executables are created in the SAP allocation diagram.
If you enabled Transfer organizational units, the model will also contain occurrences of these, and the Organizational units subgroup will be created.
If you enabled Transfer documents, the master data documents will also be transferred.
Transfers the organizational units of the selected project that are specified in SAP® Solution Manager to the ARIS database. In the branch/project group, one model is created for each of the EPC and VACD types with the associated scenarios, as well as the Organizational units subgroup. A model of the FAD type containing an occurrence of the project function is also created. The project function is an SAP function of the Project SAP function type that represents the root of the branch or project. All relevant organizational units and system types are assigned. Documents and executables are created in the SAP allocation diagram.
If you enabled Transfer master data, the model will also contain occurrences of these, and the Master data subgroup will be created.
Deletes documents in the target system, which were deleted from the source system. Documents that are connected to SAP functions occurring in Function allocation diagrams (FAD) are also deleted.
Transfers all defined end user roles of activated types from the role pool into the Roles group.
The generated models of the Organizational elements mapping type contain occurrences of the end user roles of a type. In this model, you assign corresponding end user roles, for example, organizational units, from the ARIS database to the end user roles of a type from the SAP® system.
Depending on symbol size, the number of roles that can be displayed is limited to 80-85 objects. If more roles were transferred, not all of them may be displayed in the model.
This check box is only available if you transfer data to ARIS.
Transfers the end user roles used in the project of types that you activated below. End user roles are created in the project and their occurrences are contained in models.
