aristype XML element

aristype

API name of an object type, a model type, or a symbol type.

Name for ARIS Method items that are assigned to a specific type number. Type number and API name are unique identifiers for database items that are used to define types in ARIS Method.

Information about API names is available in ARIS (Application launcher Application launcher > Administration Administration > Configuration Configuration > Conventions > Method) and in ARIS Architect on the Administration tab below the Method folder structure. Specific information from the Method help is available when you select an item, for example, an object, a connection, or a model, and press Ctrl + F1 in ARIS Architect.

It defines the ARIS item type to be provided for individual item mapping during Alfabet integration. Symbol types can be used to specify their object types. You can define multiple ARIS item types for the same Alfabet table. It is recommended that you define each ARIS item type in a separate <object> entry.

The aristype values must be exactly the same as in the ARIS - ALFABET-mapping.xml file.

If you want to change the default Application system type object type (OT_APPL_SYS_TYPE), make sure that all the attribute types required for Alfabet integration are available for the object type you want to use instead.

By default, these are the Name (AT_NAME), Description (AT_DESC), Release (AT_REL_3), and ALFABET Link 1 (AT_ALFA_LINK_1) types. In this case, you should also add all Alfabet attributes.

Of course, you can change the object type attributes to be used, or transfer other attributes. For example, if you do not want to use the Release (AT_REL_3) attribute type for the release (version), adapt both configuration files.
