Connection to ARIS Publisher

You can create a connection from ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager to ARIS Publisher to display objects and models from ARIS Publisher in ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager. The master data (users, risks, controls, etc.) should be modeled in ARIS Architect according to the recommended procedure. After modeling, this data can be exported from ARIS with the export report and imported to ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager. In addition, you can publish the ARIS Architect database with ARIS Publisher. After importing the master data into ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager, the connection to ARIS Publisher can be configured with the environments. This way, you can, for example, create a link from a risk form in ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager to an object in the published model in order to display the process in ARIS Publisher.
