Transfer and synchronize data

To make data available in ARIS, you must download branches. Keep your leading system up to date using SAP synchronization.

Recommended procedure

We recommend that the main system be defined when setting up the solution and creating a solution configuration. Do not attempt to work in SAP® Solution Manager while the synchronization is running. This will prevent data from being overwritten unintentionally during synchronization.

Recommended ARIS options

Make sure to only use ARIS Architect as the ARIS source to connect to the SAP system.

Transfer documents

Using SAP Solution Manager 7.2, you can only use the Project documentation and the Test documentation symbols. ARIS can no longer determine whether the document is a project document or a training document. You can upload documents related with Project documentation and the Test documentation symbols to SAP Solution Manager 7.2. For best practice documents in ARIS, the General documentation symbol is used by default. You cannot upload best practice documents using SAP synchronization because documents represented by the General documentation symbol are only updated in ARIS if modified in SAP Solution Manager but excluded from the upload.

The following table indicates which symbols are used for the different types of documents, and how the documents will be managed in SAP® Solution Manager.
