Define context

You can specify the context in which governance processes can be started. You can also specify the process settings.

Procedure

  1. Click the process for which you want to define the context on the Show Explorer Explorer tab.
  2. Activate the Governance tab bar.
  3. Click Process preparation Process preparation > Define context. The corresponding dialog opens.
  4. Enable the Define context option for items (database, group, model, object), applications, and/or users.
  5. Activate the relevant context. Only the options that can be used for the selected model are displayed in the dialog.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Enable Reopen selected context item in read-only mode to specify that context items are closed and reopened in read-only mode automatically if they are open when the governance process is started. The user is prompted beforehand whether or not the opened item is automatically saved, closed, and reopened in read-only mode. To guarantee governance processes to run successfully, the context items must be closed or opened in read-only mode. If Reopen selected context item in read-only mode is disabled and you start the governance process for an opened context item, the governance process will fail.
  8. Click Finish.

The execution context and the process settings for the executable process are specified.

You can view the specified context and process settings using the Context tab in process administration in ARIS Connect for process versions and instances. Once the executable process has been generated, you can no longer change the context and process settings for the process version.
