Transfer reference process

You can transfer a BPMN model as reference model from ARIS to ARIS Process Mining to perform a process conformance check.

For better auditability and understanding of the logic used for the conformance check, the BPMN model is transformed into a reduced transfer model. This transfer model contains only object types and connections that are relevant for the conformance check. The transfer model is available for you to review the logic that has been sent to ARIS Process Mining. It is stored separately and has no effect on the original BPMN model.

In order to serve as reference model for the conformance check, the transfer model is transferred to a data set in ARIS Process Mining. The data set should contain the data of the processes on which you want to perform the conformance analysis.

Note that the BPMN process must follow certain modeling conventions that are supported by ARIS Process Mining. If the reference process does not conform to these conventions, an error log model is created. The invalid reference process is not transferred to ARIS Process Mining. You can open the error log model to view the error description. You can then adjust the original BPMN process accordingly.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Open a BPMN process model in ARIS.

  2. Open the Model tab.

  3. Click the Conformance check ARIS Process Mining icon. The icon is only available if you have integrated ARIS and ARIS Process Mining, and if you have the ARIS Process Mining administrator function privilege.

  4. Click transfer model Transfer as reference process to ARIS Process Mining in the drop-down menu.

  5. If the BPMN model contains more than one pool, a corresponding dialog opens. Select a pool and click Next. The transfer model may only contain content from one pool.

  6. In the Transfer reference process dialog select the data set to which the reference process is to be transferred. Only data sets that contain data can be selected.

  7. Click Transfer to start the transfer process.

  8. After ARIS has transferred the reference process, you can open ARIS Process Mining to create an activity mapping. To start the activity mapping in ARIS Process Mining, click Open ARIS Process Mining.

    You can also create the activity mapping later. Open ARIS Process Mining and navigate to the data set containing the transfer model. For more details, see chapter create an activity mapping.

  9. To view the reduced model that has been transferred to ARIS Process Mining, click Open transferred model. The model is opened on a new tab.

  10. If the reference model does not match the modeling convention, an error dialog is opened.

    1. Click Show details in model to view the created error log model.

    2. Click Show details as list to view the error description.

The BPMN process model is transferred to ARIS Process Mining and stored as reference model in the selected data set.

After the model has been transferred to ARIS Process Mining, you can create an activity mapping in ARIS Process Mining.
