You can transfer process diagram variants as BPMN diagrams.
Prerequisite
You have created a branch in SAP® Solution Manager.
A solution configuration was created for the solution containing this branch.
Procedure
In ARIS Architect, click ARIS > Explorer.
Log in to the database managing the desired SAP content.
Start SAP®synchronization. The Synchronization Wizard opens.
On the Select options wizard page, enable the Transfer data to ARIS option.
Navigate to the Transfer models wizard page.
Enable the Transfer process diagram variants check box.
If required, specify additional settings and click Finish.
The synchronization starts and the models are transferred to ARIS.
The process variant models are assigned to the related SAP functions of the Process function type. The assigned models have the Process variant SAP model type. SAP objects of the Free system type are not transferred. All entities contained in the process variants are reused in SAP Solution Manager.
If diagrams were transferred from ARIS before, a new Enterprise BPMN model is created in ARIS. The original ARIS model is maintained. Modifications must be made in the original model. The new Enterprise BPMN model is not relevant for SAP synchronization.
Process diagrams are downloaded as a BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0). In contrast to ARIS, SAP® Solution Manager requires a pool in SAP process diagrams. These pools are created in ARIS and the layout of imported diagrams is preserved.
Process diagrams previously imported to ARIS cannot be re-transferred to SAP® Solution Manager.
