The execution context determines from which items (database, group, model/object type,
document), in which applications (for example, ARIS), and by which users a governance process can be started. You must specify the context and the process settings before generating the executable
process. After this, it can no longer be changed for the generated process version. If no execution
context is defined, the governance process can be started for all items (Without context option). The defined execution context is displayed in Process administration.
Procedure
Click the process for which you want to define the context on the Explorer tab.
Activate the Governance tab bar.
Click Process preparation > Define context. The corresponding dialog opens.
Enable the Define context option for items (database, group, model, object), applications, and/or users.
Activate the relevant context. Only the options that can be used for the selected model are displayed in the dialog.
Click Next.
Enable Close context item if still open for editing to specify that context items are automatically closed if they are open when the governance process is started. If Close context item if still open for editing is disabled and you start the governance process for an opened context item, the governance process will fail. The user is prompted beforehand whether or not the opened item is automatically saved and closed.
Click Finish.
The execution context and the process settings for the executable process are specified.
You can view the specified context and process settings using the Context tab in Process administration in ARIS for process versions and instances. Once the executable process has been generated,
you can no longer change the context and process settings for the process version.
