Select PPM process type and create function mapping

You can use the Select PPM process type and create function mapping report to import functions created in ARIS Process Performance Manager (PPM) into ARIS Architect. You can select an EPC and map its functions to the functions used in a PPM analysis. The function mapping generated is displayed in an ARIS matrix model and manually editable. In PPM the functions are registered at process types and process type groups. You can use the report to select the corresponding process type or process type group whose functions you want to import.

You can set the parameters used in the Select PPM process type and create function mapping report. The parameters are preset with default values used in PPM. If you want to change the preset parameters, you can create further parameter value pairs. For details, see Specify report parameters.

Procedure

  1. Specify the parameters to be used in the Select PPM process type and create function mapping report, if required.
  2. Run the Select PPM process type and create function mapping report with an EPC selected. EPCs connected via a process interface are taken into account.
    1. Log in to an ARIS model database.
    2. Select one or more EPCs in the database.
    3. Right-click the EPCs selected.
    4. Click Evaluate > Start report. The Report Wizard opens.
    5. Select PPM integration in the Category menu.
    6. Select the Select PPM process type and create function mapping report.
    7. Click Next.
    8. Specify the output settings. Select the parameter value pairs to run the report with the parameters required.
    9. Click Finish. The Select PPM process type and create function mapping report opens.
    10. Specify your settings. The Report Wizard guides you through the relevant steps.
    11. Click Finish.
    12. Select a process type or process type group to import the corresponding functions.
    13. Click OK.
    14. Select a group to save the matrix model as well as the EPC to be created.
    15. Click OK.

The Select PPM process type and create function mapping report is run. The matrix model and an EPC created are stored in the output folder selected.
