Hi Neo,

Thanks for posting a comment. I knew about the post you are refering. However my question is not related to model or object being updated. It is about changing in the configuration level. I do agree I did a mistake while saying model renamed it is actually model type name renamed like Value added Chain Diagram renamed to something in the configuration. So basically any changes in the configuration.

Thanks

Hi there,

what Abhijit is refering it a log file for any changes that have been done to the ARIS method or configuration (e.g. templates, filters). That would indeed be very helpful if there would be a log file to see when and what has been changed (e.g. rename of model type as described above).

As there is only one standard user you can use to get access to the configuration (CFGADMIN), I understand that there is no reporting option to indicate who in the company has done the changes. If required a company could cross that against the server access log to find out the user if there would be a log file indicating when changes have been done.

For method filters for example there is currently no log file that would outline the changed applied to a filter. Hence you have to either document it manually in the description (as we currently do with date, name and description of change) or you run the filter report script to document the current status and then you do the changes, run the same script again and then run a compare of the output files (e.g. document compare in word).

How do others trace currently changes to the configuration in ARIS?

Cheers,

Carmen
