Aris toolset.

Anyone making full user of the Aris capability to re-document SAP configuration or monitor key business process performance using reverse business engineering techniques?
I am going to explore the potential of the tool (on paper) before setting up a prof of concept, but I would be interested to hear from others who have real world experience of the capability.
Lewis

Many thanks Andre,
I got the impression from reading recent documentation that the re-documenting piece could be automated using Aris to interrogate the IMG. I guess unless all user exits are considered and understood it would not actually give a business process definition. No tool can do this.
I will let you know my findings.

ARIS installation

hi,
   Can anybody help me in getting ARIS installation guide
   I want the entire procedure from scratch as to how to install ARIS for SAP NetWeaver
Wat plugins will be required?
   Please do the needful.

What it is:
ARIS for SAP NetWeaver provides centralized administration of process information in a multilingual system tool. You can use this process information for project documentation, system implementation, end-user projects, and more.
Major Advantages:
It works with Solution Manager and SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure for the modeling of business processes that cross application and enterprise boundaries.
It can be used as goverance and documentation for your business process design.
ARIS for SAP NetWeaver provides modeling capabilities to cater for the process architecture model of business scenarios, business processes and process steps. A value chain diagram describes the end-to-end company process map.
Implementation Considerations:
ARIS toolset is developed by IDS Scheer. In the current release of SAP NetWeaver, ARIS is a separate installation. However, the installation is very simple and does not require a professional installer.
Example business scenarios:
You currently use ARIS for process modeling and you now want to model your SAP processes.
You are a new customer with SAP. You are a business process expert and want a central location to model your current and to-be processes.
Where to get more information:
Service Marketplace is a good starting point.
SDN BPM community has lots of great information on ARIS.

Collection of reference workflow models in SAP R/3 for research

Hi,
within SAP R/3 (at least in version 4.6c) there must be a collection of reference workflow models modeled as EPCs that can be exported e.g. with ARIS Toolset for SAP NetWeaver. These models were used for some research about process metrics in the past (e.g. by Jan Mendling [1]).
For own research purposes, I am interested in these models. But the university I'm working with, has no SAP R/3 installation.
Is there a possibility to get these reference workflow models by SAP (of course strictly for research purposes)? I already sent an e-mail to SAP but haven't got any "fitting" answers - probably because my question did not rearch the right person for my problem.
Maybe, a SAP employee working in this area reads this message and can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Regards

Thereu2019s no great secret that I have ever heard of... there is a central transaction SWDM (Business Workflow Explorer) in any ABAP system where you can access all of the workflows of that system using a search range e.g. by entering the appropriate application component.
From here you can display any workflow you have found using the context menu option (i.e. right click and choose display).
When viewing a workflow in the workflow builder, you can use the menu option Extras > Options > Display of Graphical Modelling View to swap to the Classic Event Driven Process Chains view.
Your best bet for transporting it is probably to use the Print... option in the menu then adjust the Output Options... to output it as a file and pick the file type you want to use.
Thereu2019s an X ML export option as well, but I suspect itu2019s just the image that you need.

Thank you Peter,
can you inform us also about the integration with the Oracle SOA Suite :
3.3 Enabling Oracle SOA Suite or a Standalone OC4J for WebCenter Applications
" If you have Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 or a standalone OC4J 10.1.3.1.0, then you can update it to create, deploy, and run Oracle WebCenter Suite 10.1.3.2.0 applications. Patches to enable you to run WebCenter applications will be released in the future. Watch for more information about MetaLink and the Oracle Technology Network:

ARIS and INTALIO

Hi all ,
I would like to have some comparison points on the tools- ARIS and INTALIO. It would be great if you could highlight some points.
Thanks,
kanan

Dear Kanan,
IDS, ARIS platform for process excellence, has expanded relationship with Intalio Inc., which provides the execution engine that enables process blueprints created using ARIS, and a new relationship with BPM.
The expanded relationship with Intalio will amount to the further integration of the ARIS modeling toolset with the Intalio/n3 Business Process Management System. The tighter coupling will bring better adherence to BPM standards like BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) and BPEL (Business Process Execution Language), and help users better integrate process models.
Inatalio managed to port their legendary SAP connector and thier ARIS importer to Intalio|BPMS 5.0. The SAP connector can take any version of SAP, all the way back to SAP R/3 3.1i, and expose all BAPIs, IDOCs, RFCs, and ALEs as ready-to-use web services, for both inbound and outbound transactions, on the fly, without having to write a single line of code, ever. All 150,000 transactions offered by SAP R/3 or mySAP are available directly, as well as custom ones developed by customers.
Intalio made it much easier for ARIS Process Platform customers to connect together process models with the Intalio/n3 Designer, bind them to third-party systems and Web services, and then deploy them onto the Intalio/n3 server.
For more information regarding Intalio visit the following link:

Not able to view data in Aria People search Org Chart

Hi,
I have uploaded my data into aria_tmp_people, aria_people_a & aria_people_b.
While doing the search from Aria poeple, the uploaded data is not displaying in org chart.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Aneesh

Hi Aneesh,
First be more clear about Aria Application. As Aria, is been related to an hrms part of an organization carrying the people infomation and it has some separate features too.
But in your prespective i couldnt able to understand what do you want to do with that packeged application.
Since you want to customize the aria application according to your organization needs means, First collect all your necessary organization information that is needed(like tables etc.). Then substitute those (i.e) your organization tables in the appropriate places in the form of query.
Please dont use the same Aria people table, as the Oracle may framed according to their employee information. Nearly Aria application has 200 supporting objects. If you want to use the same objects means whether u r going to creating nearly 200 supporting objects..It is not worth at all.
Please be more clear in your requirement that, what you are doing, and then raise the question. Be more prepared with your tables along with datas, and let give your reply once you were been prepared with your organization details table.
As there are more peoples in the forums to help you other than me.
Brgds,

Exporting to Excel from Aria People Search

Is it possible to export to Excel from Aria People Search.
I would like to output the Org Chart (built in) and the Tree (I created) to an Excel file.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
If you are using 10g, then OLE2 is supported. However, it will be executed in the App Server Machine.
If you want to do the operation in the Client machine (as how it was done in the Client / Server), you need to use Client_OLE (Which is part of WebUtil).
Look at

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.

When using the Database Connectivity Toolset, reads and writes with long binary fields are incompatible.

I am trying to write LabVIEW Variants to long binary fields in a .mdb file using the Database Connectivity Toolset. I get errors when trying to convert the field back to a variant after reading it back from the database.
I next tried flattening the variant before writing it and ultimately wound up doing the following experiments:
1) If I use DB Tools Insert Data to write an ordinary string and read it back using a DB Tools Select Data, the string is converted from ASCII to Unicode.
2) If I use DB Tools Create Parameterized Query to do an INSERT INTO or an UPDATE operation, specifying that the data is BINARY, then read it back using a DB Tools Select Data,
the length of the string is prepended to the string itself as a big-endian four-byte integer.
I can't think of any way to do a parameterized read, although the mechanism exists to return data via parameters.
Presuming that this same problem affects Variants when they are written to the database and read back, I could see why I get an error. At least with flattened strings I have the option of discarding the length bytes from the beginning of the string.
Am I missing something here?

David,
You've missed the point. When a data item is flattened to a string, the first four bytes of the string are expected to be the total length of the string in big-endian binary format. What is happening here is that preceding this four-byte length code is another copy of the same four bytes. If an ordinary string, "abcdefg" is used in place of the flattened data item, it will come back as <00><00><00><07>abcdefg. Here I've used to represent a byte in hexadecimal notation. This problem has nothing to do with flattening and unflattening data items. It has only to do with the data channel consisting of writing to and reading from the database.
I am attaching three files that you can use to demonstrate the problem. The VI file c
ontains an explanation of the problem and instructions for installing and operating the demonstration.

Crm via e-mail toolset

Hi,
Currently we are implementing crm & adobe interactive form integration scenario. What we are expecting; when user presses submit via e-mail button on the form, the xml file which is attached to e-mail has to be processed by CRM. We have read presentations and guides about crm via e-mail toolset and done all the customizing.
What is missing for us when we send this xml file to crm inbound processing what should be triggered at CRM side? All the E2C configuration is done.
We also configured inbound processing so50 and set as exit name CL_FP_INBOUND_HANDLER. But in this case system expects from us pdf file not xml as shown in presentations of SAP.
Thanks,

Well, let me go into more detail. The twitter e-mail said "did you see this tweet about you?" and provided a bitly. I copied and pasted the bitly addy in my browser and up popped a "twitter" log-in site, asking for mt twitter ID and password. I noticed two odd things about the site: the web addy had a "http" instead of a "https" and the twitter bird icon looked off. I never logged on and reported the phishing to Twitter.
I'm pretty sure it was a phishing site, but I'm just worried a hacker might have somehow got into my Mac. I know it's an Apple computer and there haven't been any real problems with attacks on OS systems. Still, I somewhat concerned.

Need help in creating Aria using Oracle APEX

Hi,
I am trying to develop an employee lookup using DBCON's PDF(http://www.dbcon.com/oracle_apex_ebook_aria.html).
I downloaded the Oracle XE, version 11.0.0.28844 and used the APEX from this. But, the files provided by DBCON seem to be old. I tried using the AriaTheme.sql file in the APEX, but, it errors out complaining that the file is not compatible.
As this did not work, I downloaded the APEX(apex_4.0.1) and am trying to proceed with this. This comes with a large package and it is not clear on how to install and where to start off to build ARIA.
Please help me out with the latest compatible theme or suggest the XE version that I need to download.
Thanks,
Divya.

I downloaded it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/102xewinsoft-090667.html(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal) )
Could you please comment on the 'Aria' setup, if you are aware?

Can I use the database toolset within a fieldpoint vi?

I want to be able to read and write to a database on our network using the database toolset. My vi works under windows but does not under fieldpoint. (does not run at all). I've included (loaded) the template while building the executable. As well I've include the udl support file to access the database

Ola,
If I was designing this system I would use a shared variable which contains the name of the last data file written by the FieldPoint. The PC would monitor that name and when it changes, use the FTP VIs to download it to the PC. The PC VI would then parse the text file and insert into the SQL database.
Using a lock file or a Boolean Data Ready? flag would also be very valid approaches.
Depending on how fast you are acquiring data you might be able to do away with the intermediate text file. Another possible approach would be to use the TCP VIs to effectively stream the data from the FieldPoint back to the PC where it can be inserted into the database.

Simon H

Using ARIS process models as the foundation for Business Process Monitoring

Hello,
Do anyone know if you can use IDS Scheer ARIS process models and the integration between IDS Scheer ARIS and SAP Solution Manager as the starting point for end-to-end Business Process Monitoring (BPM) so that you get the process description/model automatically in Solution Manager BPM and just need to configure the monitoring (more or less that you monitor against the modelled process in ARIS)?
Is there an API for SAP Solution Manager BPM so that non-SAP solutions/systems can be part of the end-to-end process monitoring?
If not, how do you usually integrate non-SAP solutions that are part of an end-to-end process that you want to monitor into SAP Solution Manager BPM, or do you not use Solution Manager BPM for this?
What is the roadmap for SAP around SAP Solution Manager BPM when it comes to non-SAP systems/applications/solutions and the new SAP NetWeaver BPM functionality?
Regards,
Markus Johansson

Hello Markus,
I just paste my answer form the other forum entry Re: Business process management strategy in SAP?
in a nutshell BPM Netweaver is focussing on so called edge-processes (usually
SOA-based and often workflow related). These edge-processes a thought to enhance exisitng core business processes and should provide the fast competitive edge versus competitors. Examples would be also xApps. For this Netweaver provides process modelling tools, where you can get exectuable code through the integration between CE and PI. The monitoring part for these processes is mainly targeting business end-users and business manager.
Business Process Monitoring with Solution Manager focusses on core business processes which are realized with the "conventional", "old" SAP Architecture, e.g. Order-to-Cash or Procure-to-Pay. You get a combination of technical monitors (average response times of transactions, background job runtimes, monitors for IDOC or qRFC processing) and application related monitors (you get more than 200 pre-configured application monitors out-of-the-box like number of overdue customer orders or outbound deliveries or number of deliveries with goods issue posted but no invoice). The target group here is the support organization of the customer, from Basis-Support over application support on IT side to process owner on business department side.
Overview presentations can be found under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information -->
"Business Process Monitoring - Part 1 & 2".
Or look under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-processmonitoring
In the end BPM Netweaver and BPMon SolMan are complementary for different purposes and different target groups.
Best Regards
Volker

How to store jpeg images in SQL server using NI database Connectivity Toolset. Can anyone please help me in this regard.

Please tell how to store jpeg images in SQL Server using NI Database Connectivity Toolset.

http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_datatypes.asp
You setup a field as BLOB and store the binary of the picture there. Depending on the database it can be called differently as you can see in the link, in SQL server there's even a Image datatype.

How to make Adobe Acrobat Pro's (CS6) toolsets work more like previous versions. It is very inconvenient now to put it mildly, was much better in CS3.

In CS6, every time I need to preflight, edit, export images from Acrobat Pro I have to try and build a new toolset. The little icons that appear at the top are generally meaningless, as I don't use this every day. Is there a way to make it behave more like previous versions - say CS3?

Why do you have to build a new toolset? Why not, for instance, just click the Preflight button?
