Design/Change-Time Policies That ARIS Uses

Policy Name

Purpose

ARIS Delete Processes

Switches a specified Process object to the Retired lifecycle state. This policy executes when a process model is deleted by a Delete Process call from ARIS.

Note that if the Process object in CentraSite is not in a state that permits a transition to the Retired state (i.e, if a transition to the Retired state is not permitted by the Process object's lifecycle model) the policy will fail.

Important:

If you customize the predefined lifecycle model that CentraSite installs for Process objects, or if you apply a different lifecycle model to Process objects, you must modify this policy so that it switches the Process object to the appropriate state in your customized lifecycle model.

ARIS Delete Services

Switches a specified Service (native or virtual) to the Retired lifecycle state. This policy executes when a service is deleted by a Delete Service call from ARIS.

Note that if the Service in CentraSite is not in a state that permits a transition to the Retired state (i.e, if a transition to the Retired state is not permitted by the Service's lifecycle model) the policy will fail.

Important:

If you customize the predefined lifecycle model that CentraSite installs for Services, or if you apply a different lifecycle model to Services, you must modify this policy so that it switches the Service to the appropriate state in your customized lifecycle model.

ARIS Release Processes

Switches a specified Process object to the Available lifecycle state. This policy executes when a process model is released by a Release Process call from ARIS.

Note that if the Process object in CentraSite is not in a state that permits a transition to the Available state (i.e, the transition to the Available state is not permitted by the Process object's lifecycle model), the policy will fail.

Important:

ARIS webMethods Integration

Sets instance-level permission and profile-level permissions to specified users/group for a Process object in CentraSite.

This policy contains the action Set Instance and Profile Permissions, which assigns the instance-level permission and optionally profile-level permissions to a specific set of users/groups (called the ARIS webMethods Integration Group) for the Process object and related assets. The ARIS webMethods Integration Group includes the group of users who can be availed in ARIS or Designer for ARIS webMethods Integration.

You can apply this policy when the following events occur to a Process object:

PostCreate

PreUpdate

OnTrigger

Enforce Unique Name

Ensures that the names of Application Server objects, IS Server objects and IS Connection objects that are created in CentraSite are unique.

This policy contains the action Enforce Unique Name, which you can configure to:

Enforce the unique name requirement for Application Server objects, IS Server objects and IS Connection objects in all organizations defined in CentraSite.

Allow different versions of an object to exist in CentraSite with same the name.

You can apply this policy when the following events occur to an object:

PreCreate

PreUpdate

Notify ARIS on Service Changes

Notifies the ARIS APG service endpoint when a Service object (native or virtual) in CentraSite is updated.

This policy contains the action Notify ARIS Service, which notifies the ARIS APG Service endpoint with the SOAP request message provided in this action. The APG Service endpoint is picked up from the associated ARIS Application Server.

You can apply this policy when the following events occur to a Service object:

PostUpdate

PostStateChange

OnTrigger

Notify ARIS on Service Completion

Notifies the ARIS APG service endpoint when a Service object (native or virtual) in CentraSite when a user changes the state of the service to a "completed" lifecycle state (e.g, the Productive state).

You can apply this policy when the following events occur to a Service object:

PostStateChange

OnTrigger

Notify ARIS on Service Deletion

Notifies the ARIS APG service endpoint when a Service object (native or virtual) in CentraSite is deleted.

You can apply this policy when the PostDelete event occurs to a Service object.

Reset Lifecycle State to Initial State

Resets the lifecycle state of a Process object if it is republished from ARIS.

This policy contains the action Set State, which you can set to any state of the BPM Process Lifecycle model.

You can apply this policy when the OnTrigger event occurs to a Process object.
