Accelerator Import

After completing all prerequisites and preparation steps, the accelerator can be installed manually.

Open the Administration area in your ARIS Process Mining project space
Navigate to Install exported project
Upload the .apms file

Ensure that all checks are selected in the wizard that opens.

Select the option to import the accelerator as a new project.
Define the new project owner by entering a user name.

Import the data as a new data set.
Assign the Living Processes license.
Define the data set owner.

Start the installation by selecting Install and wait until all assets are successfully installed.

Data Provisioning and Data Load

After the accelerator installation is completed, the next step is to load the actual business data into the data set because this accelerator comes without demo or dummy data. This step makes the process data available for analysis and enables the use of all dashboards and KPIs provided by the accelerator.

Data provisioning is performed via the configured SAP connectivity and the Process Extractor and typically includes running the initial extraction and loading the data into the Process Mining project space.

Initial Data Load – Preparation

Navigate to the data sets section and select the Order Management data set.

If sensitive or business-critical data will be loaded in the following steps, ensure that the appropriate access permissions are configured beforehand.
Data set access permissions can be maintained via Manage Access. More details: see APM Help → Manage Data Sets → Manage Access to Data Sets

After opening the data set, the Overview tab provides a summary of the current data load status and lists any detected issues. These issues are addressed step by step in the following section.

Scroll down the left-hand navigation to the Integrations section and select Connections.
Select the existing connection labeled SAP.

The connection wizard opens: Important: Don't change the Name
Select the SAP system integration.
Select the provided Process Extractor.
(The extractor must be installed and correctly configured beforehand; see chapter: Preparation and Prerequisites.)
Select the corresponding SAP source system.
Enter the Client Secret Key.
(The Client Secret Key is either provided by the administrator who set up the system integration or, if sufficient permissions are available, can be retrieved manually as described below)

If you change the Name of connection, then the extraction will fail in the next step.

Excursus: Retrieving the Client Secret:

Extract source data from SAP

Navigate to Extraction in the data set area and select Extract all.

In the dialog that opens, select Run to start the extraction.

This step triggers the extraction of data from the SAP system and may involve a large data volume, depending on the scope of the source system. The supported data volume depends on the available Living Processes license. In addition, the runtime of the data extraction directly depends on the data volume and can be significant for large data sets. To reduce both data volume and runtime, the extraction scope can be limited by selecting Customize, which allows you to define the time period for the data extraction by the two parameters begindate and enddate.

Depending on the data volume, this step may take some time (even hours). The extraction status can be monitored in the Run log area.

Data Load

After the data extraction is completed, the source tables must be loaded into the data set.

Return to the Overview tab of the data set and select Load Data.

Keep Update dynamic parameters after data load selected.
Select Run to start the data load.

The data load status can also be monitored in the Run log area. It typically takes a while.
