Report: Replace object types

Use

Replaces objects of defined object types in the database that are contained in the current method filter. Occurrences and connections are changed in models. Tables are ignored. When assigning these object types, you must also assign symbol and connection types allowed by the method. Make sure to use a method filter that contains all required method types for mapping. Either use the Entire method filter or use a method filter that was created based on the database.

You can quickly create filters based on a database that already contains the method contents you require. In this way, you create project-specific filters, for example, based on similar prior projects. You can then edit the filters and modify them to match project-specific requirements.

  1. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Administration Administration > Conventions > Filters.

  2. Next to Create model type Create filter, click Open menu Menu > Generate from database.

  3. Select the database that contains the required content.

  4. Select the method filter to log into that database. Make sure that this filter contains the required method content. If you are not sure about the filter, use the Entire method filter. In this case, all items are included but only the items used in the database are added to the new filter.

  5. Click Generate filter.

The filter is created.

Assign the filter to users or user groups.

By assigning method filters to users or user groups, users only have access to a subset of ARIS Method. Filters provide users with only the information and methods relevant to them. To assign method filters to users or user groups, do the following:

  1. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Administration Administration > Configuration Configuration > Databases.

  2. Selected items Select the database and click Properties Properties > Method filters.

  3. Click User groups or Users and click the user groups or users to which you want to assign filters.

  4. Enable the required method filters.

    If you selected Users, you can see the filters that are individually assigned to the user, the filters the user inherited from the user groups, and the sum of filters the user has.

Single users or members of user groups can use all method items contained in the filters assigned.

To modify the filter to match specific requirements and to translate the filter name and description in multiple languages, click Edit font Edit filter to manually modify the filter settings.

The log file lists all objects that were not replaced.
