Mapping syntax for tables defining process support maps (PSM)

Tables to be imported as process support map (PSM) are mapped using the psmtable XML property. The tables ITMASTERPLANMAP, ITSOLUTIONMAP, and ITSTRATEGYMAP are to be imported as PSMs.

<psmtable name="ITMASTERPLANMAP" arisgroupname="IT landscape planning">
      <items table="BUSINESSSUPPORT" />
      <attr alfabet="name" aris="AT_NAME" />
      <attr alfabet="description" aris="AT_DESC" />
      <attr alfabet="id" aris="AT_ID" />
</psmtable>

Explanation

  • psmtable

    Each psmtable element defines one specific Alfabet table to be imported as process support map (PSM). Thus, each table must be defined in a separate psmtable element.

  • name

    Name of the Alfabet table to be imported as process support map (PSM), for example, ITMASTERPLANMAP, ITSOLUTIONMAP, or ITSTRATEGYMAP.

  • arisgroupname

    Name of the ARIS database subgroup where the process support map (PSM) is to be created.

  • items table

    The items sub-element refers to the table that defines which PSUs are currently in use (see psutable). This needs to be specified because the import of PSUs that are being used requires special handling.

    table XML property (mandatory)

    Table name of the Alfabet table that defines which PSUs are currently in use.

  • attr

    Defines the handling of attributes. If at least one attr sub-element is specified, this restricts the list of attributes imported into ARIS to the list of attr elements listed here.

  • alfabet

    Name of the Alfabet property.

  • aris

    API name of the ARIS attribute.

    An empty string (""): not mapped/ignored.
