Hello ARIS Community,
i will be developing a governance process within ARIS and want to use ARIS as well as WebMethods. Because of that i have a question on how to use both systems.
Is it possible to start a Webservice in ARIS Governance that is triggering a workflow in WebMethods?
For example:
- Lock model in ARIS governance process
- Perform approval loop in WebMethods (Called by WebService)
- Unlock model in ARIS governance process
Or is there some other possibility to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Richard
Dear Richard,
Do you that Model-to-Execute offers that what you are looking for?

The marketing content isn't sufficient to understand the solution's implementation. I recommend to get in contact with Software AG Global Consulting Services.
Cheers

Dear Rune Becker,
thank you for your answer. Suddently that is not what i'm searching for. With "Model-to-execute" you can create models in ARIS, transfer them to WebMethods and create a workflow, right?
In ARIS itself i'm creating a governance process which is automated in ARIS. In this process i want to start a workflow in webmethods automatically. This way, half of the automation is within ARIS and the other half within WebMethods.
I need to do it that way, because you can't lock or change specific models, that are stored in ARIS, with WebMethods, can you?
Thanks again!
Regards
Hello Richard,
We have implemented what you are looking for in different tools (except WebMethod but I guess similar concept could be used). For governance processes in ARIS, a good tool is ARIS Governance Engine as it allows just that and it can be adjusted to many complex forms of validation, review, processing, .... It is great, tightly integrated with ARIS modeling&document capabilities and fast to deploy.
We have also implemented an "outside" governance process using Activity (and some variant of it) as it is an open source workflow. The integration with ARIS was done using the report API of ARIS where we would trigger any processing needed during the validation process.
If this part interest you, do not hesitate to send me an email @ tanguy.petre"at"imendos.com, I'll share some more information.
Kind regards,
Tanguy
