How do you transfer SAP Solution Manager 7.2 documents?

Transfer SAP® documentation to the ARIS database

You can transfer SAP® documents to ARIS using a branch download or an SAP® synchronization. Optionally, all documents that are specified in SAP® Solution Manager, for example, Project documentation and Test cases are transferred, updated, or deleted. You can only download Best practice documentation to ARIS. Best practice documents are represented by the General documentation symbol in ARIS. You cannot upload best practice documents using SAP synchronization because the General documentation symbol is not recognized.

In function allocation diagrams (FAD), objects of the Information carrier type are assigned automatically to the functions including the corresponding symbol types. If you select an information carrier or SAP function and click SAP® Solutions > Display Show content> Show documentation, the document is opened from the SAP® system.

Transfer documentation to the SAP® branch

You can transfer documents added in ARIS to SAP® Solution Manager by running an SAP® synchronization.

Using SAP Solution Manager 7.2, you can only use the Project documentation and the Test documentation symbols. ARIS can no longer determine whether the document is a project document or a training document. You can upload documents related with Project documentation and the Test documentation symbols to SAP Solution Manager 7.2. For best practice documents in ARIS, the General documentation symbol is used by default. You cannot upload best practice documents using SAP synchronization because documents represented by the General documentation symbol are only updated in ARIS if modified in SAP Solution Manager but excluded from the upload.

The following table indicates which symbols are used for the different types of documents, and how the documents will be managed in SAP® Solution Manager.
