We are using ARIS to do architecture and design. We are using Archimate and UML as the foundations. We are modeling the application/system as an application component on the Archimate viewpoints. On the UML side, we want to use system but there is no symbol or object for this. What is the best practice?
Hi John,
my proposal depend on the ARIS version you are using.
In ARIS 7.x you can create a UML profile with an new or derived element representing the application system including the attributes (Tagged Values) it should have and the relationships to other elements it should offer.
In ARIS 9.x you also should create the above mentioned profile. Additionally you can now create a mapping between the application component on classic ARIS method and the new UML element type coming from the profile. Based on such a link you can easily navigate between the classic part of ARIS method and the UML part.
