For IT Inventory to properly display relevant content, specific conventions must be adhered to in the database.
Group structure
In ARIS, create a subgroup in Explorer. This is where all IT systems managed by IT Inventory will be saved. The names of the groups, IT systems (objects of the Application system type type), and IT system instances (objects of the Application system type) must be specified at least in the database language English. The configuration is based on this language.
In the demo database, this is the group 01 System inventory. All elements within this group structure will be included during the creation of IT Inventory.
The path to this base group must be entered in the configuration file mappings.xml.
For each IT system, you need to create a subgroup in which the object definitions of the Application system type type and the required models are saved. These groups have the same name as the object, in this example, A-Plan.
If an IT system has different instances the subgroup Instances must be created. This group contains all application systems and required charts.
All objects and models for the representation of system interfaces are managed in a defined subgroup. In the demo database, this is the group 02 Interfaces.
The path to this group must be entered in the configuration file interfaces.xml.
