Filter settings in BPA for Aris Express

by Mr. Eddy Vanderlinden (2011-03-24) in group We Love BPM

Hi,

We are evaluating BPA and Aris Express.

The tests of importing Express diagrams into BPA are fine.

Conditions are:

- take care of the language compatibility between the database and Aris diagrams (or you need a copy/paste bypass)

- the filter and template are imported (reference http://www.ariscommunity.com/users/frank-weyand/2010-07-07-aris-express-22-released-corrected-filter-and-template-available)

Next step is to evaluate the filter as a starting point for modeling in BPA.
The advantage would be users get customised to a more limited number of symbols which is good for the readability (and acceptability) of the models.

However, when running the report "Output filter information", there is no information on the BPMN model. The models are imported and viewed with the original objects without problems.

Is there some explanation for it ? Perhaps there is a misunderstanding at my end.

It would be nice to have a complete report to evaluate the attributes (model, objects and relationship), relationship types.

Thank you in advance.

Further looking into the problem, I think the best solution to view all models of Aris Express in BPA is to create a filter where both filters BPMN 2.0 and Aris Express are merged in the server.

Would you agree?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Hi,

yes. The usual Express filter does not contain BPMN models, so merging with a BPMN filter is generally a good way to enhance this.

We exptect the merging of the Express filter to existing filters on customer side as the usual procedure.

Bye,

Frank
