    2. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Published content Published content.

  3. On the Model tab, click Enable SAP modeling support Enable SAP® modeling support.

  4. Click the SAP function to which you want to connect the document. The Insert smart object Insert icons are displayed.

    If you have enabled Smart Modeling, the insert icons are displayed under the following conditions.

    Enough space

    There must be enough space to arrange Insert smart object Insert icons around an object symbol. Therefore, the model display must be large enough to display Insert smart object Insert icons in the model in addition to the objects.

    Thus, Insert smart object Insert icons are displayed when Smart Modeling is enabled and the model display is equal or greater than 30 %.

    Permission to use a connection

    The user must have the privilege to use the outgoing connection of the selected object. If a user does not have the privilege because the used filter does not allow the connection, the Insert smart object Insert icon for the corresponding direction is not displayed.

    No connection access

  5. Insert an Information carrier object. Make sure to use the correct symbol, such as Project document, so that the documents are entered on the correct tabs after their transfer to SAP® Solution Manager.

  6. Specify the name of the Information carrier object.

  7. Select the related document type. All document types that were defined in the related branch configuration are listed.

  8. Choose whether to open a document from a URL, a local path, or a connected document storage system. To select a document, navigate to the document file or browse the document management system (DMS). To open a document from a web location, specify the URL of the document. Note: Once a document has been updated in ARIS document storage, you no longer need to manually update the value of the Link1 attribute. The link always points to the most current version of the document.

  9. Click OK.

The document is created.

This document will be included when you start the SAP® synchronization in ARIS Architect and transfer documents. Documents that were created in ARIS and transferred to SAP Solution Manager® 7.2 can be deleted using the SAP® synchronization.

You can use satellite modeling and add documents to any SAP function in any model that includes the SAP function. Satellite modeling ensures that the related objects are automatically placed into the related Function allocation diagrams so that the modeling conventions are met.
