How do you transfer SAP Solution Manager 7.1 documents?

Transfer SAP® documentation to the ARIS database

You can transfer SAP® documents towards ARIS using a project download or an SAP® synchronization. Optionally, all documents that are specified in the SAP® Manager project on the General documentation, Project documentation Test cases, and Training documentation tabs are transferred, updated, or deleted.

In function allocation diagrams (FAD), objects of the Information carrier type are assigned automatically to the functions including the corresponding symbol types. If you select an information carrier or SAP function and click SAP® Solutions > Display Show content> Show documentation, the document is opened from the SAP® system.

Transfer SAP® documentation to the SAP® Solution Manager project

You can transfer documents added in ARIS to SAP® Solution Manager by running an SAP® synchronization.

If test and training documents were transferred to your database with a program version up to 7.2.0.551017, the project documentation symbol is used for the different types of documents. To avoid that test and training documents are entered on the Project documentation tab in SAP® Solution Manager after the transfer, you must use the relevant symbol types for information carriers.

In this case, start the synchronization for all projects and select the Transfer data to ARIS project option. This automatically assigns the document-specific symbols. Afterwards, you can transfer documents that were added in ARIS to SAP® Solution Manager.

The following table indicates which symbols are used for the different types of documents, and on which tabs the documents will be managed after their transfer to SAP® Solution Manager.

Documents of one document type must only be specified once per tab for a project node. You select the relevant types on the Document types page in the project configuration.

After a document has been transferred, it can no longer be edited in ARIS. Transferred documents can be changed only in SAP® Solution Manager.
