I am having a problem understanding how Process Landscapes relate to EPC's. In the full ARIS product one would normally use an Assignment from a process landscape to the EPC for that process. The model would be created with the same name as the process in the landscape. This is not available in Express.
If I create EPC's for each process separately there is nothing on that EPC to relate them. And when I print a model there is no model name/title to help.
How would my clients know which EPC related to which process in the landscape?

Sebastian,
How can you link to a certain function? I thought you could only link to a URL?
Also, if I use a link from the landscape to the EPC then that doesn't solve the problem that there is nothing on the EPC to link it back to the ladnscape. I would need to be able to print the file name or a title on the EPC to do that.

Hi
I have a similar issue. I have built an organisational landscape with organisation, roles and persons.
I have also built a process landscape. Now I want to have the roles as attributes to a process. For example Nordic Process Manager, Process manager and sub-process specialist and then be able to select the persons assigned to the roles in the organisational landscape (like from a repository of persons). If a person doesn't show up in the list I should be able to write the name and automatically that person should be linked to the role in the repository of persons.
In the same way I would like to link an EPC to a process in the process landscape. When I add roles to an EPC I would like to be able to select roles from a list containing the defined roles in the organisational landscape.
This reduces the risk of data inconsistency, duplication and maintenance problems.
Does any one know how do this or isn't it possible? That would mean that we will only have many independent models woth no integration and relationships.

In reply to Hi, you can restrict the by svso
Not sure I have explained this well. Suppose I have a function of "Process 1" in my landscape, I can manually create an EPC called "Process 1.ADF" and use the Link attribute of the function to refer to it. So far, so good.
The problem is that there is nothing on the EPC model to refer back to the landscape. The function "Process 1" does not appear in the EPC. Nor can I include a title or even the model file name on the EPC model.
Does that help?

Sebastian,
I don't expect a back link in a file-based system. What I would like is to able to put a title on the EPC and to print that title or the file name on the model. That way the client would be able to see whcih function in the landscape the EPC related to.
