Transform implementation project and maintenance project

You can change solutions in ARIS using the models of the corresponding implementation project.

Prerequisite

Procedure

  1. Create a new database.

  2. Download the relevant maintenance project from SAP® Solution Manager.

    The database should contain this project and nothing else.

  3. Open the database structure of the database that contains your implementation project. If required, copy the project content into a new group of this database if you plan to leave the original implementation project unchanged.

    This project is transformed into a maintenance project. Then you can edit the solution.

  4. Select the group that contains all items (or the copied items) of the implementation project.

  5. Click Transform Transform > Transform implementation project in the SAP® Solutions tab bar.

    The Transform implementation project dialog opens.

  6. Select the new database, which contains only the maintenance project (see 2), and click OK.

    The implementation project is transformed into a maintenance project. The necessary attribute changes are applied automatically.

  7. Check all scenarios into SAP® Solution Manager.

    Your implementation project is now prepared to be edited with the solution.

  8. Perform your first change request by checking out the scenarios to be changed again and downloading the corresponding maintenance project into a new database.

  9. Open the database structure of the database that contains the implementation project (now maintenance project) you created under 5.

  10. Select the group that contains all items (or the copied items) of the transformed implementation project.

  11. Click Transform Transform > Transform maintenance project in the SAP® Solutions tab bar.

  12. The Transform maintenance project dialog opens.

  13. Select the new database, which contains only the new maintenance project, and click OK. The maintenance project is updated.

  14. Check in the log file whether all items that are connected with the scenarios have been updated. You can ignore other items if you only include modified items in the SAP® synchronization and you do not start the synchronization for the project node.

  15. Make the changes.

  16. Start SAP® synchronization with SAP® Solution Manager for the relevant scenario. After data synchronization, your solution is updated in SAP® Solution Manager.

  17. Check in the scenario.

You can repeat this process starting from 7 any number of times. After the Transform maintenance project action is complete, your ARIS project is always up-to-date and can be synchronized.

When synchronizing the maintenance project, disable the Transfer new shortcuts and Consider order check boxes because shortcuts are not updated when transferring solutions.
