ARIS table

Extracts data from an ARIS model of type Table.

In ARIS Architect, you can export the content of a model of the Table type and generate a link to the export file in the form of a URL. For more information about on how to create an ARIS table see the ARIS Architect online help. See also Generate dashboard link in the ARIS Architect online help.

In ARIS Architect, you can run scheduled reports to create dashboards and to generate the relevant data sources. Each report output file is automatically stored in the ARIS document storage. These documents are used as the data sources for the corresponding default data feeds that are provided in ARIS Connect. In these data feeds, ARIS table is set as data source operator.

The following parameters are available.

Parameters

Description

Source

ARIS export file in XML format.

Size limit: Unlimited.

  • URL: HTTP address of the source file

    If another operator supplies the URL dynamically, the URL cannot be edited here.

    Example

    http://myhost.company:1080/documents/rest/links/03388871-367d-4abe-a2c9-37bc9fa44580?tenantid=default&revision=1

  • URL alias: Loads the file from a resource directory. Files must be located in a defined resource directory on the server. The data source files are located in a folder or a sub-folder of the ARIS document storage accessible in the ARIS Connect Repository.

    If you have updated ARIS Connect 10.0 Service Release 1 to version 10.0 Service Release 2, you need to recreate the URL alias that WAS defined for ARIS Connect 10.0 Service Release 1. Delete the URL alias at first and add a new URL alias with the same data.

    Path prefix (alias): Alias of the resource directory with the path to a directory on the server. Select an alias of the local resource directory, for example, Feed URL.

    Feed URL is the alias of the resource directory of the default data feeds provided in ARIS Connect.

    In the input box, enter a path to the relevant data source file for the Path prefix (alias) selected.

    Example

    /documents/rest/links/03388871-367d-4abe-a2c9-37bc9fa44580?tenantid=default&revision=1

To configure a Path prefix (alias), see Configure Dashboard server for details.

To store data source files in a resource directory, see Upload file based data sources for details.

To copy the source file URL, see Upload file based data sources for details.

Insert parameter (Insert parameter)

Inserts user defined input parameters at the cursor position. The button is clickable only if at least one user input parameter, for example, Text user input, has been inserted in the feed definition.

Parameter options (Parameter options)

Enables you to set input parameter options.

Refresh rate ()

Specifies the time until the data source is read in again. Default value is 12 h.

Authentication

Specifies the credentials for authenticating to access the source file.

Single Sign-On is preset for authentication if you select URL alias to access the source and Single Sign-On is enabled for the selected Path prefix (alias). Click Authentication if you want to change the settings.

Single Sign-On:

Enables you to access the source file using Single Sign-On (SSO). SSO only works within ARIS Connect and not for files provided by external data sources, such as an external web page. For details on how to configure SSO, see Configure single sign-on.

HTTP basic authentication:

Specifies an HTTP basic access authentication.

User name and password are required for accessing the source file.

HTTP headers

Adds HTTP headers to the URL.

Parameters: Detect

Automatically reads out potential parameters of the data source. A requested parameters list is displayed that is based on the specified ARIS table source. You can enter the parameter values required to read in the data source.

Configure columns

Configures the columns list. You can unselect a column to exclude it from the result data. If you enter a new name for a column, this name is used in the result instead of the original column name. If you click Reset columns, the column list is reloaded from the data source and all changes in the list are undone.
