The following applies when
a BPMN 2.0 diagram:You can import data from a BPMN file and use the BPMN diagram that was generated by the import in ARIS. When importing a BPMN diagram of a third-party supplier, an Enterprise BPMN diagram is created in ARIS.
Prerequisites
The method filter you are using allows BPMN diagrams.
You have the ARIS Connect Designer license privilege.
Procedure
Click Application launcher >
Models & Objects. The Models & Objects view in the repository is opened.
Select the relevant database.
Select the database group into which you want to import the BPMN diagram. The More icon is located next to the group name.
Click More >
Import BPMN diagram. The corresponding dialog opens.
Click Select file and navigate to the relevant BPMN file.
Select the BPMN file and click Open. The file is parsed. If it is a valid BPMN file, it is imported.
The BPMN diagram is stored in the selected group, and you can open it for editing on a tab.
You can import BPMN diagrams of the BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0) and BPMN process diagram (BPMN 2.0) type.
<bpmn:import> elements are not supported (see chapter 15.3.1 Document Structure of the BPMN specification).
Existing ARIS objects are not reused. Importing the same file multiple times results in new models and definition copies. Occurrence copies of objects are not generated.
XSD ID references are supported. QNames that can contain namespaces are not supported (see chapter 15.3.2 References within the BPMN XSD of the BPMN specification).
There are character limits for attributes in ARIS. For example, the Name (AT_NAME) attribute can have a maximum of 250 characters. If the BPMN import exceeds this number of characters, the first 250 characters are used, and the remaining characters are cut off.
The colors of objects, connections and labels are exchanged if the third-party software supports this.
