Model business process
First, you generate the BPM models. They consist of value-added chain diagrams with assigned EPCs including dialogs, Web services, responsibilities, and organizational charts.
In detail, these models and items contain the following:
Value-added chain diagrams with assigned EPCs describe the process overview.
The assigned EPCs describe the chronological and logical sequence with the help of human and automated tasks, dialogs, organizational units, services etc.
Automated process steps are linked to corresponding services. These can be ARIS services or external services that are imported via WSDL interface.
Process steps containing human tasks are linked to automation-relevant organizational elements and dialogs (screens).
Automation-relevant organizational elements are modeled in organizational charts that are linked to persons or reference LDAP.
Dialogs are generated and made available for executing human tasks.
Automation-relevant organizational elements are linked to a notification. This means that the user is automatically provided with the relevant information by e-mail.
Automated process steps are linked to the corresponding service. These can be ARIS services or external services that are imported via WSDL interface.
Data flows are linked to the corresponding dialogs, human tasks, and services. They are relevant to all automation-relevant process steps irrespective of whether they are human or automated tasks.
From the dialog to procedural logic
Decisions are made automatically or manually. Dialogs are created for human tasks. These are displayed as tasks when running a process in My tasks and are edited by the employees in charge. The decisions made in the dialog control the process flow.
From the object to the data flow
A data flow diagram describes the data flow of an executable process step. It has exactly one superior object from the control flow. The input data for a specific object is modeled in a data flow diagram, in order to define which functions, constants, and events the selected function or event receives data from. Process automation is possible only if data flows are modeled correctly.
Sample databases
The Process Governance package includes the Governance Automation Models reference database, which is installed automatically. The database makes it easier for you to model your own specific execution processes. If the existing models suit your purposes, you can just adapt them.
The Process Governance package includes the ARIS Connect Governance Models database, which is installed automatically. The database contains the workflows for which the executable processes are generated automatically.
