ARIS can import all ArchiMate® elements and viewpoints listed in the ArchiMate® specification out of the box, provided you have imported the ArchiMate® 3.x filter and the viewpoint mappings available on the installation media. You can find the viewpoint mappings in the folder Content\ArchiMate\3.x. Your own derived elements and custom viewpoints must be configured upfront; else they will lead to a warning during import of the AMEFF file.
Prerequisites
You are logged in to ARIS Architect with Configuration Administrator function privileges for this tenant.
Procedure
In ARIS Architect, click ARIS > Administration.
In the navigation, click Configuration >
Conventions >
Import/Export >
ArchiMate.
Here you can configure the ArchiMate® mappings for Languages,
Property definitions, and
Viewpoints.
Optionally, an ArchiMate® mapping configuration can be exported to another ARIS tenant:
Select ArchiMate > Export ArchiMate mappings.
If you want to import an ArchiMate® mapping configuration from another ARIS tenant, select ArchiMate > Import ArchiMate mappings.
ARIS is prepared to map custom names of Languages, Property definitions and Viewpoints to pre-existing elements in the ARIS Configuration during import of ArchiMate® Model Exchange File Format (AMEFF) files.
Note
Languages, attribute types, or model types have to be available in the ARIS configuration before they can be mapped.
