Analyzing Extracted Business Process Data with ARIS PPM

This document assumes you have performed the installation and the configuration steps described under Creating a Working Environment. It describes the following steps:


Step 1: Copy Source System Data

Copy your source system XML data files (as provided by the extractors) to the folder %PPM5_HOME%\<new client name>\data\PROCESS_STEP, where <new client name> represents the name of the client you created initially. In our example this is: %PPM5_HOME%\ppm4sales\data\PROCESS_STEP.

Add a new PPM dimension for an attribute that was imported from a source system event.

The attribute name is longer than maximum lenth of the dimension key (30 chars), and therefore the line is marked as an error (red).

Select a short description for the dimension key and enter a descriptive dimension name to correct the error.

Configure the dimension.
