Transforming EPC to BPMN in Aris Business Architect 7.1

I have read in the helpfilel for Business Architect that it is possible to transform from one type of diagram to another. It was also mentioned on the SAP BPM training that I have attended. However I am not able to find the function which will enable me to transform an EPC into a BPMN diagram.
This is of particular importance to me, as I would like to use EPC with Business users, and then generate a BPMN diagram to use as the basis for a Netweaver BPM implementation of the executable process.
The help references a Transform menu which does not exist in my version of the tool.
Does anyone know how to do this transformation, or if it is even possible, as the documentation suggests?

I don't think such an functionality exists as part of the Business Architect (but I am not sure). Both models are syntactically and semantically different, which means there are several different ways of doing the transformation. You can of course create an extension in ARISScript ( a serverside script) to do such a transformation.

ARIS + Solution Manager

Hi,
In my company they are planning to implement ARIS with SAP Solution Manager. I am trying to get some information regarding this. What are the benefits we get if we integrate ARIS with SAP solution manager and what are the pre-requisites to implement ARIS with SAP solution manager?
If you have some information about this please share with me
Thanks and Regards,
Sreekala.

Hi Sreekala,
To implement their corporate strategy and business requirements, companies need a fast and efficient way of mapping business processes and new business concepts to the SAP environment. Developing and designing a seamless value chain in terms of Business Processes Management is also a key requirement for adopting SAPu2019s service-oriented architecture (SOA).
ARIS Business Architect for SAP and the ARIS Value Engineering for SAP method provide procedure models, methods, technologies, and reference content that make the flexible enterprise a reality. These are the first of many practical customer benefits to be generated from the strategic development cooperation between SAP and IDS Scheer.
In SAP implementation or upgrade projects ARIS Business Architect for SAP enables enterprises to define business management requirements from a process perspective. Requirements are mapped using business process models and can be enriched with all the necessary additional information and subjected to analysis. The bidirectional interface to SAP Solution Manager enables the models to be constructed on the basis of SAP reference content for a process-based SAP solution. They can be seamlessly implemented in the SAP Solution Manager. A special BPEL interface to SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NW PI) supports end-to-end integration of existing IT systems.
These process models therefore represent an important aid to making business decisions, while also ensuring that the required processes can be implemented in the SAP system.
Your benefits:
Process-oriented and model-based requirements analysis and resulting business blueprint plus alignment of business processes with the SAP IT architecture.
Comparison and alignment of all end-to-end business processes with SAP reference processes using ARIS, SAP Solution Manager, and SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.
Integrated ARIS method ensures transparent documentation and communication of the processes to be implemented
End-to-end process-based tests.

Hello Silviya:
1. ARIS is SAP's preferred tool for Business Process Modeling & Analyis. It is the Gartner & Forrester leader for this category.
2, 4, 7, Can be answered via this weblink:
http://www.ids-scheer.com/international/english/products/49637
5. ARIS offers a business process simulation component to step through a business process before it is implemented in a business application like SAP.
6. ARIS Business Architect for SAP NetWeaver loads on a java client or can be deployed via a browser. A SAP GUI patch and 1 time solution manager transport is required to connect to SAP.

Importing ARIS content to Solution Manager

Hi Colleagues,
I'm looking for information on posible restrictions to import ARIS content to Solution Manager.
Have anyone been through this and could share what challenges we could expect?
I found a document called "IMPORTING ARIS FOR NETWEAVER CONTENT INTO SOLUTION MANAGER" from Sukumar Natarajan but it just explain its steps.
Thanks a lot,
Renato Petrulis

Hello Renato,
To Import ARIS to Solman, you need have an install in solution manager, have a project created on tx solar_project_admin, have the ARIS Business Architect ready and follow the simple steps mentioned in the document you talked about.
Please reply for any other doubt,
Cheers,
César Aranda

How to import database to ARIS

Regarding to my university project, i want to import database to ARIS Business Architect 7.0 platform, the databases are .aed file, but i still cannot find the way to do this. As far as i know, ARIS support only import file XML or WDSL only, isn't it?
Do you guys have any experience or information about this, please help me out; Thanks/

Hi,
the standard extension of an ARIS DB File is *.adb
This file can be imported into BPA Suite within the Admin Module. Right click on the Server you want to import the DB in and choose "Restore".
Keep in mind that the ARIS and BPA Meta-Model is only approx. 98% the same. When you have content of the other 2% in your export it will fail.
Also you can have an *.acb file that represents a complete server configuration without data. This file can only be imported via the management console.
Greetings
Dirk

Error while calling the Web service: GetBprElements

Hi Experts,
During integration of ARIS Business Architect for SAP Netweaver with SAP Solution Manager I tried to import the BPR using Transfer Repository option of the earlier. It showed me process completed with error or warning mentioned in the subject line.
Can anybody suggest solution?
Warm Regards
Shatrughan Sharma

Hi Swapna,
from your screenshot it seems that you actually try to call the service in your Data Source Expression field. You should set path to the WSDL file here actually - this could be either URL to SAP or to filesystem, as Anton suggested (this could be faster). Have you created endpoint binding for your service in transaction SOAMANAGER? If yes, then simply download the corresponding WSDL with binding or copy the URL which leads to it. But also test whether you are able to retrieve the WSDL without logging into SAP (close all browser windows and then open a new one otherwise session ID from other browser windows can be reused).
If you have to give username and password, then setup anonymous alias in transaction SICF, for example.
Pleas, check my previous post on the same subject here: Re: BCM7 IVR : SOAP request for client identification in CRM .
Maybe it could help.
Regards,
Dawood.

What's new in Oracle BPA 11G

Hello,
Is there some note/ doc/ whitepare etc for what are the new features in Oracle BPA 11G?
regards
Sanjiv

Hi Sanjiv,
* there is a small section ("New Features introduced in this release") within the release notes of BPA 11g: http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/bpa/Oracle_BPA_Suite_11gR1_ReleaseNotes.doc
* you can find further details ("What's new...") in the BPA Help-Section after installation
* finally have a look to the Delta-Paper of ARIS 7.1 from IDS Scheer: http://www.ids-scheer.com/set/6473/ARIS%20Platform%20702-71%20DP%20en.pdf. Concentrate on "Differences in the Web environment from version 7.1" -> ARIS Business Architect, ARIS SOA Architect
I hope this helps,

Solution Manager BPR

Does the SolMan-BPR-ARIS-Integration (http://www.ids-scheer.com/en/ARIS/ARIS_Platform/ARIS_Business_Architect_for_SAP/3743.html ) use an interface open to the public? If yes, were can I finde some more information about it.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,
yes, this runs all through JCo. But sapjco3.jar is not yet supported by IDS Scheer only the 2 versions. You get [the JCo Download|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000719346&] at the SAP Marketplace, if you own a SAP Login . Here is a [DOS-Java JCo (2.1.8) screenshot|http://www.fahrrad-kleuskens.de/ARIS-SAP-JCO-DOS.JPG] which shows a connection to a SAP Server. This is the [sourcecode|http://www.fahrrad-kleuskens.de/ARIS-SAP-JCO-DOS-Java.JPG] for the above example.
If you do not have an ARIS Business Architect for SAP and no SAP System too at the local server,you can connect through the ARIS Business Server 7.1 in every ARIS Database and from there in every SAP System you want.
I added a [ARIS BS 7.1 - VPN Handout|http://www.aris-user.de/aris/viewtopic.php?p=4722#4722] at IDS Scheer:
You can see here a [JCo Connection to SolMan screenshot|http://www.fahrrad-kleuskens.de/ARIS-SAP-JCO1.JPG] . And in the second [JCo Connection to ERP ECC6 screenshot|http://www.fahrrad-kleuskens.de/ARIS-SAP-JCO2.JPG] you see the function name, which you can for example use in SAP ERP ECC6 to be connected to ARIS. If you implement this function Z_SOLAR_READ_INSTALLED_COMPS in SAP ERP ECC6 correctly, you can connect ARIS even with ECC6 .
I did a little test. I implemented a test function in SAP ERP ECC6 with the function name Z_SOLAR_READ_INSTALLED_COMPS,
which I added to the function group Z_SP_FUNCTION.
After that I called the SAP ERP ECC6 System from Aris through JCo with the standard menu in ARIS ... and I got a result. Now the [ARIS JCo Function in ERP ECC6 |http://www.fahrrad-kleuskens.de/ARIS-SAP-JCO3.JPG] is found
So I rest with the best regards

Database (in)dependence

we got a two day training on ARIS Business Designer last week and now have both the IDS Sheer and the Oracle editions installed on my laptop.
ARIS Business Architect version is 7.0.2.155701
Oracle Business Process Architect 7.0.1.163410
The instructor asked us to use the restore function to setup the lab environment.
When I try to load the backup into the Oracle environment I get the next error message:
Could not load java class :C:\..\LocalServer\temp\olite\sp\source\com\idssheer\aris\server\dll\mapimpl\olite\sp\AARISDB_9OnDeleteSetNull.java
According to the instructor. the ARIS install is running a Sybase SQL server. Somewhere an Oracle database config setting needs to be changed.
Anyone with a clue?

Hmm, no sorry. We only have a temporary license for a month for IDS BA. After that it's just the public Oracle BPA edition.
I can send the training database to reproduce the error.
Just thinking: what would happen with the demo70 database?
Guess what? After 4 minutes of loading time: same error, now with AARISDB_10OnDeleteSetNull
Interesting fact:
BPA demo70 database size: 3,085 KB (aedfile_70)
ARIS demo70 database size: 4,902 KB (aedfile_70)
Logical next step: restore the original (small) demo70 database into Oracle BPA.
SURPRISE: Same error message!!!!!!!! I can not reload the demo70 database.
Bottomline: script to reproduce the problem:
start Oracle BA
backup the demo70 database
delete the demo70 database (after logging out)
restore the demo70 database
Don't try this at home: you have to reinstall the BPA suite to get your demo70 database back.

Regarding ARIS

Hi,
I am new to ARIS, I have just installed ARIS locally on my laptop.
Can any one give me a scenario/tutorial or some exercise on modeling or business architect which will help me to understand the tool better .
Thanks,
Shiv

Hi,
check out the following link for a short tutorial:

ARIS & SAP integration, SAP user management

The scenario is as follows:
Company business model (including company employees) is managed in ARIS.
Currently, when a new employee is hired (or an existing employee's data is updated), his/her data is managed in ARIS model, then user's data (name, login, SAP roles, etc.) is exported from ARIS model as a plain text which is e-mailed to SAP BASIS admins to create/update employee's SAP system account, so the employee could work as a SAP system user, according to his position as modelled and managed in ARIS. SAP admin's part here seems to be purely mechanical, since he does not make the decision, he just creates an account based on ARIS model output data.
The idea is to automate this process, by cutting that "e-mail" and "SAP admin" part, so that the employee's SAP system account would be created or updated (semi-)automatically right out of ARIS business model, by ARIS admin's decision.
Please tell me, is there any ready-made means in ARIS (or maybe using an additional tool) to manage (create, update) users in SAP R/3 and BW systems? Or a better way to do it?
I presume it could be done in ARIS via some script through an RFC connection to a SAP system.
Maybe I am asking this question in a wrong place, then please advise a better place.

Hi Sergei,
There is no ready-made script that creates a user in the SAP environment. The question is if you want to 'model' the security profile in ARIS, or let SAP handle this (as the authorization concept is part of SAP and not from ARIS).
In general there is some functionality to get user information from the Solution manager into ARIS (in the business architect for SAP, but not vice versa. In the solution manager. You can manage your whole authorisation landscape (over multiple SAP systems).
hope this helpes.

Problem with Aris and Solution Manager

Hi,
I'm trying to synchronize Aris and SAP Solution Manager.
I'm doing installation and configuration following Administration Guide
chap. 7 from Aris for Netweaver guide, but, I have a problem when I
try to transfer projects from Aris to SolMan.
In the main ARIS menu from ARIS Business Architecture for SAP NetWeaver>
Aris Network>LOCAL>Synchronization>Maingroup, a SAPLogon screen appears
to logon to SolMan system, ask for Client, User and PWD.
I put the same user/pwd that I use to logon to SolMan, but ARIS cannot
connect to, an error message appears "User or password incorrect".
Does anyone have idea about this problem??
Thanks

Mariana,
try changing your password to all CAPS in Solman.

Jason
