You can provide model links in SAP® Solution Manager for models to be opened in ARIS. If you still use ARIS Publisher, models from exports can be provided as well.
Prerequisites
You have created a branch in SAP® Solution Manager 7.2.
A solution configuration was created for the solution containing this branch.
Procedure ARIS
In ARIS Architect, click ARIS > Explorer.
Log in to the database managing the desired SAP content.
Start SAP® synchronization. The Synchronization Wizard opens.
On the Select options wizard page, enable the Transfer data to SAP® Solution Manager option.
Navigate to the Transfer executables, documents, and interfaces wizard page.
Enable the Transfer documents check box.
Navigate to the Transfer model links wizard page.
Activate the ARIS option button.
Select the related tab to be used in SAP Solution Manager and document types to be assigned.
If required, specify additional settings and click Finish.
The synchronization starts and the model links are transferred.
The models can be opened in SAP® Solution Manager using the ARIS model link. You cannot start executables from these models. You can start executables from the executables table in the step view in ARIS.
Use the same procedure to delete model links from SAP® Solution Manager. On the Transfer documentation wizard page, enable the Remove links check box.
Procedure ARIS Publisher (no longer recommended)
From ARIS 10.0.13.0 on ARIS Publisher and IT Inventory are no longer delivered. This means that you can no longer install or update ARIS Publisher Server. You can still use your current ARIS Publisher installation, but since this component is no longer supported, no more features will be developed. We strongly recommend using the published content instead of ARIS Publisher in the future. As of October 2023, neither ARIS Publisher, IT Inventory, nor HTML export functionality will be available.
Log in to the database from which a Publisher export was created.
Right-click a model in the Navigation bar and select Properties.
Click Information on the Selection tab.
Select the entry in the GUID box and press the CTRL+C keyboard shortcut. The model GUID is copied to the clipboard.
Start SAP® synchronization in the same database. The Synchronization Wizard opens.
On the Select project options wizard page, enable the Transfer data to SAP® Solution Manager option.
On the Transfer documentation wizard page, enable the Transfer links check box.
In the URL box, enter the URL for the Publisher export using the following syntax:
http://<ARIS Publisher Server>/<Port>/<ARIS Publisher context>link.do?<profileid><login><password><localeid>, for example, http://pcrkl:9090/businesspublisher/link.do?profileid=262166&login=anonymous&password=anonymous&localeid=1031&modelguid=
The URL can be obtained from your administrator.
Entries are overwritten with this URL in SAP® Solution Manager.
Click in the GUID box and press the CTRL+V keyboard shortcut. The GUID previously copied is pasted.
Click Test. The model is opened from the corresponding export.
Select the tab on which the model links are to be specified in SAP® Solution Manager.
Select the document types to be assigned.
If required, specify additional settings and click Finish.
The synchronization starts and the model links are transferred.
The models can be opened in SAP® Solution Manager using the ARIS model link on the selected tab. You cannot run executables from these models. Run them directly from your SAP® system.
To delete model links from SAP® Solution Manager, the same procedure is used. On the Transfer documentation wizard page, enable the Remove links check box.
Warning
If you delete Publisher links, all links of this type are deleted in the SAP system that contain the specified part of the URL. If you only enter http:// all links will be deleted in the SAP system.
