Is there training for tool BPA Suite?

Question

Hello,
I am a Process Analyst and I am studying the features of the tool BPA.
I wonder if there are training to learn the features of the tool in practice?
Can I use the BPA without integration with BPEL for example?
I need to understand the concept of the tool and any structure that exists for integration.
I have installed the BPA Suite and I am doing some tests, but I can not develop in more detail, I need a training or a guide with more details.
Please, somebody help me?
Tanks

hi
yes u can use BPA without integration with BPEL.
You might want to to go to the demo database and look how the modeling is done ... read the Quick start guide ... also the method manual for understanding ARIS House and model types etc..
May be u have gone through the following steps .. just see if you have these done:
Install Architect
Open architect:
Go to explorer
right click on the network symbol and add a server (if you have repository installed somewhere ( give the ip of that server))
if you dont have a repository then go to local server
right click on server and create a new database
default user is system and default password is manager.... chose the method filter as entire method (method fiters define what is available in terms of symbols, connection types etc to the logging user ..)
right click on the main folder create folders of ur choice .... right click on folders to create a new models ... there are several model types ..most popular one is an eventdriven process chain .. EPC... (go to help...then methods to understand the different model types....)
if you create a new model it opens up in designer... do take time out to understand concept of occurrence, variant and definition objects, models....
there are several ways BPA can be used ... its up to ur imagination how u want to use it...
these steps are very basic and .. there are thousands of other things you can do with BPA...... just read through the methods manual first ..
