Configure ArchiMate mapping

ARIS can import all ArchiMate® elements and viewpoints listed in the ArchiMate® specification out of the box. Derived elements and custom viewpoints must be configured upfront; else they will lead to a warning during import of the AMEFF file.

Procedure. Procedure

  1. In ARIS Advanced Architect, click ARIS > Show Administration Administration.

  2. In the navigation, click Configuration Configuration > Conventions Conventions > Conventions Import/Export > ArchiMate.

  3. Here you can configure the ArchiMate mappings for Language Languages, Attribute Property definitions, and Show Viewpoints.

    Optionally, an ArchiMate mapping configuration can be exported to another ARIS tenant:

  4. Select ArchiMate > Export Export ArchiMate mappings.

  5. If you want to import an ArchiMate mapping configuration from another ARIS tenant, select ArchiMate > Import Import ArchiMate mappings.

ARIS is prepared to map custom names of Languages, Property definitions and Viewpoints to pre-existing elements in the ARIS Configuration during import of ArchiMate Model Exchange File Format (AMEFF) files.

Tip

Languages, attribute types, or model types have to be available in the ARIS configuration before they can be mapped.
