Import XML files

You can import XML files into your ARIS database. XML files exported from ARIS are encrypted by default.

To import files that are not encrypted, you must have the ARIS Access license privilege extension for ARIS Architect or ARIS UML Designer.

This is the only way to unlock the XML file and thus obtain indirect access to ARIS data and the repository using external applications.

The following methods are available for accessing an exported XML file:
