How are models transferred to SAP Solution Manager 7.2?

You can upload process models and process diagram variants as BPMN diagrams to the SAP system. ARIS models are automatically converted to BPMN diagrams of the selected type. Models of the EPC and the Value-added chain diagram types are always converted. Models of all other types that are relevant for SAP synchronization are converted only if modeling rules are violated. If a model cannot be converted, the model is not transferred. For BPMN diagrams available in ARIS, the layout of the ARIS diagrams is used. If ARIS models are converted, by default, the layout for generated BPMN diagrams is Horizontal and the System landscape is used as a target diagram subtype. You can select other settings, if required. Conversions are made only for upload. The original ARIS models remain unchanged.

You can transfer models of only these types:

  • EPC

  • EPC (column display)

  • EPC (row display)

  • Value-added chain diagram (VAD)

  • BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0)

  • BPMN process diagram (BPMN 2.0)

  • Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram

  • Enterprise BPMN process diagram

You can transfer models of only these types:

The type of the ARIS model and the selected SAP diagram subtype define how the resulting the SAP diagram will look.

If you transfer ARIS models using the System landscape option, the system landscape is used as the target SAP diagram subtype. In the SAP system, the pools of the converted BPMN diagrams use the logical components occurring in the ARIS model. For each logical component group assigned to an SAP function, a corresponding lane is created and placed in the pool. This pool has the name of the process. Functions to which a logical component group is assigned are placed in the corresponding lane. Functions without logical components are placed in the N/A lane. Other elements without a logical component, such as gateways, are placed in the lane of one of the neighbor's logical components.
