Hi ARIS Support,
Are there any functionalities using ARIS Report scripting that will make the task of merging the contents of two or more EPCs into one big model (e.g. EPC Column) easier?
Take for example this one, I have this VACD model that contains two assigned EPC (e.g. Column Display) models:
And these are the contents of each referenced EPC models:
And this is the final model that I'm longing to generate using Report scripting (Notice that the two EPC models are now inter-connected to one another):
I was not able to see any available functions from the bundled ARIS Help script docs for this purpose though there was one Report script class, Merge, that stands out from the other classes. Can I use this particular class for this purpose and if yes, are there any sample codes that I can work with to familiarize myself with it? If not, what would be the best alternative way to do this?
As of now, I'm just reading all the objects found in both EPC models and creating new copies of each one of them in one big model and weaving them based on some conditions. By the way, what is the easiest way of copying the contents of one model to another model?
These are the questions that I have so far in my bucket. I hope these details are clear enough for some good Samaritan advices.
You can try using the Generate Model functionality, it's not perfect but it gives you a head start. In the Explorer view select the models you wish to combine (or just one of them if they're in different folders) right cilck and select Generate Model. The dialog allows you to include other models. select the model type, name and destination folder. ARIS will combine the models into one model. The formatting may not be great depending on how much manual positioning has been done.
Not sure how to access this through scripting but perhaps someone else could help with that.
