Define the method for displaying database items for this SAP branch after downloading the branch or after SAP® synchronization.
If the ARIS Method was modified, for example, new model types were created or symbol types were added, make them available in the Method Configuration Wizard.
If you want to transfer BPMNTM 2.0 diagrams, specify the model types and lane assignment within the method configuration.
Warning
Changes can lead to inconsistencies. Ensure that the same method configuration is always used for synchronization. This must be the same method configuration used for downloading the content from the SAP® system.
