Create fragment definitions in ARIS

To correctly import the data, is does not matter how the fragment definition file and the mapping file have been created. Creating the fragment definition file with ARIS or the mapping file with PPM Customizing Toolkit is easier than directly editing the XML files.

The process fragment definitions are modeled as EPCs. A special ARIS method filter is available for modeling. Often, the overall process to be analyzed by PPM is already modeled using ARIS and can be used as a basis for the creating the fragments.

The EPCs for the process fragment definitions can also be modeled directly. However, in practice the creation of an overall process has proved to be more effective for reasons of clarity.
