Specify the connection parameters for the relevant SAP systems.
Procedure
Start ARIS Architect.
Click ARIS > Options. The Options dialog opens.
Click SAP® options > Select server on the Selection tab.
Disable the Use default server for running executable check box, if you want to use the server that is entered in the SAP Server system attribute each time you run an executable. If this attribute is not specified, the default server is used.
Click SAP® options > Solution Manager on the Selection tab.
Enable the Run executables with SAP® Solution Manager check box.
Due to security reasons, enable the ARIS Server option to connect to the SAP system.
Warning
You must not use the ARIS Architect option to synchronize productive data, such as large SAP projects containing a high number of documents. This carries a high risk that the resulting data will be inconsistent if connection problems have occurred.
Select the ARIS Server option if you are using a private cloud or you have installed ARIS Server and you are using ARIS Download Client or locally installed ARIS Clients.
If a connection fails because of firewall restrictions or a VPN tunnel cannot be established, you must install ARIS Connector for SAP Solutions. Note that using ARIS Architect for accessing SAP systems in local or private cloud scenarios is not recommended and must not be used for synchronizing productive data. If the connection breaks down, this will result in inconsistent data. If your company has a strict network separation within the own environment, you can select the ARIS Architect option for test purposes or to synchronize a small number of data only. Only if you currently use a public cloud surrounding and you want to expand to ARIS Advanced, you can select the ARIS Architect option to test the SAP synchronization.
Click OK.
