The export of processes from Process Performance Manager and the subsequent import to ARIS Architect comprises the following steps:
First, the PPM graph format is transformed into AML format. In a further step, the data structure of the PPM export file is converted into the AML data structure for the import to ARIS Architect.
The following schema provides an overview of the functional process of creating an AML export file from PPM with subsequent import into ARIS Architect:
The AML transformation files supplied with the PPM installation carry out a standard transformation. Through appropriate customizing of the file amlmapping.xml you specify additional, client-specific attribute types, measures, and dimensions for the XML export (see chapter on Customizing the ARIS Design interface).
