We are using myeclipse IDE for development. We have a Java/J2EE application which we have reverse engineered to make the class diagrams and sequence diagrams.
We are trying to import these diagrams to ARIS SOA architect as going forward we would like to maintain all application architecture and Business processes in ARIS. We have tried doing the import through the XMI file format. The export from myEclipse is XMI version 2.1 whereas the XMI version supported in ARIS(as per help documentation) is 1.1 . Hence my import into ARIS ,is failing. What is the best way to get the UML diagrams imported to ARIS SOA Architect.
Hi Vinay,
I too am struggling with importing IAA in to ARIS. How far did you get?
To assist others who may find this thread, your issue is that ARIS only supports XMI1.2 while MMM/IAA only exports XMI 2.1 hence the ARIS error message (which you mention in your other post)
I am looking at translating via an intermediary modelling tool that can managed the 2.x->1.x downconversion which looks like it will work.
Biggest remaining hurdle is that ARIS seems to ignore XMI diagram information and just imports the objects leaving a user to recreate all of the diagrams! That's tons of work. This seems to be confirmed by exporting XMI from ARIS as it does not create any Diagram information, just object metadata.
