In this blog I am going to explain how existing ARIS models can be synchronized to SAP Solution Manager. This is part 2 of ARIS integration blog series and part 1 is available in the below link
ARIS and SAP Solution Manager 7.2 integration – Part 1
Existing ARIS business process models can be synchronized with SAP Solution Manager by maintaining the synchronization attributes manually.
The below diagram provides the list of attributes to be maintained for the corresponding ARIS functions.
Step 1) Perform the initial import from SAP Solution Manager
Refer Synchronize Business Process section part 1 for more information
Step 2) Open the VCD for Business process
Step 3) Copy and paste the models which you want to synchronize under the Business Process VACD
Step 4) Navigate to the last level of the model and open the FAD of a Process step in EPC
I am going to use the below structure for integration
Tip: It is easy to map the attributes from bottom-up than performing mapping from top to bottom.
Step 5) Open the properties of the transaction which you want to synchronize with SAP Solution Manager
Go to attributes and add the below attributes (if not exists) using more attributes button.
Transaction Type, SAP Component
Provide the logical component group name under SAP Component and select the corresponding transaction type.
Click on OK after making the above changes.
Add the attribute for all the screen components available under the FAD.
Note: The SAP component field value should be same as the corresponding logical component group name in SAP Solution Manager. Else the element will not be synched to SAP Solution Manager.
Step 6) Open the properties of the model by performing double click outside the objects.
Add “SAP Model Type” attribute and select the value as process step
Step 7) Close the FAD and go to one level on top (Create Model - EPC)
Open the properties of the EPC function which needs to be synchronized to SolMan
Add SAP function type and SAP Component attributes
Provide the below values and click on OK
SAP Function type: Process Step
SAP component: <<SolMan Logical component group name>>
Make the above changes for all the EPC functions which needs to be synchronized.
Step 😎 Open the properties of the model by performing double click outside the EPC functions.
Add “SAP Model Type” attribute and select the value as Process
Close the EPC model.
Step 9) Go to the parent of the EPC model (Manage Device/Meter installation VACD) and open the properties of the function which needs to be synchronized
Add SAP function type attribute and select the value as “Process”
Click on OK
Make the above changes for all the functions which needs to be synchronized.
Step 10) Open the properties of the model by performing double click outside the functions.
Add “SAP Model Type” attribute and select the value as Scenario
Close the VACD model.
Step 11) Go to the parent of the model (Manage Device/Meter VACD) and open the properties of the function which needs to be synchronized
Add SAP function type attribute and select the value as “Scenario”
Click on OK
Make the above changes for all the functions which needs to be synchronized.
Step 12) Open the properties of the model by performing double click outside the functions.
Add “SAP Model Type” attribute and select the value as Folder
Close the VACD model.
Step 13) Go to the parent of the model (Customer Relationship and Billing VACD) and open the properties of the function which needs to be synchronized
Add SAP function type attribute and select the value as “Folder”
Click on OK
Make the above changes for all the functions which needs to be synchronized.
We don’t need to make any more changes in the parent model (Business Process) since it is created during the SolMan sync.
Step 14) Now close the model and go to the parent (VACD which has Business Process). Select the business process function and trigger the sync under SAP Solutions --> Synchronization
Select data transfer to SAP Solution Manager option and trigger the sync process.
Make sure the checkbox “Include subordinate elements is selected before triggering the sync.
Result:
Now you should have the business processes synchronized with SAP Solution Manager.
