migration of ARIS Express files in ARIS Professional

by Ms. H. Friesen (2011-04-12) in group We Love BPM

Hi guys,

I tried to search the forum to find out but still I have to ask:

I am currently working with ARIS Express 2.3 and the long-term plan is to export these files to a profesional ARIS version. So if different parts of a model are linked to each other, will I be able to keep the links in the professional version or will I have to do the linking all over again?

Tanks a lot!

Helene

Hello Helene,

the links are stored in an attribute, which is kept, but not converted. So, if your want to keep this linking between models, you need to create assignments to keep the linking.

Hi Frank,

thank you for the quick reply! Do you mean it's a question of how I migrate the models? How would I create assignments to keep the linking? Is there a tutorial illustrating this?

 

Thanks again!

Hi Helene.

No, there is no tutorial about this, but creating assignments is very easy.

You just select the object in the modeling pane, select the context menu and choose "Assignments...". Here, you can select the model you want to have as assignment.

But be aware, that the ARIS method is more restricted regarding the assignments, whereas the links of ADF files is completely free of any type restriction.

Bye,

Frank
