How to configure ARIS - Alfabet Interoperability Interface

The connection between ARIS and Alfabet is established by Alfabet database attributes. The interface is configured using two configuration files. Script administrators can adapt the ARIS-ALFABET-integration.xml configuration file.

ARIS-ALFABET-integration.xml

The objects for which a mapping to Alfabet can be created in ARIS Architect and ARIS Connect are defined in this file. The login for exchanging data is also configured here. This configuration file defines the linking of individual ARIS items to Alfabet items, the Alfabet synchronization, and the bulk import functionality.

Alfabet integration is available for objects of the Application system type type by default. If you want to define other ARIS object types, you must create additional <object>…</object> entries. Use the ARIS-ALFABET-mapping.xml configuration file as a guide for entering the attribute types.

Make sure that the defined attribute types are available for each object type.

ARIS-ALFABET-mapping.xml

This configuration file defines the mapping between ARIS and Alfabet objects. The file controls how Alfabet objects are actually mapped in ARIS.

If you want to change the object type attributes to be used, or transfer different attributes, adapt both configuration files.
