ARIS - Pega integration

Hi Vinay,

We did some work in this area and eventually came to the conclusion that it is quicker to redraw/build in PEGA via the PRPC modeller / Visio extension. The import is not as seamless as one would like between ARIS and PEGA. We tried creating BPEL from EPC diagrams and importing these into PEGA (ARIS does not have a BPMN to BPEL conversion).

Apparently, Accenture have built a converter that uses Visio to make the ARIS EPC to PEGA import work. We have given up.

Hi Damian,

Thanks for your quick response.

So based on your experience i assume that the ARIS-Pega integratin is not straight forward nor it is bi-directional. 

But, i have seen in ARIS Business Architect, you can generate BPEL process models out of BPMN models, aren't those useful or appropriate for Pega import?

I would like to hear the experience of other members on the same, your views are highly appreciated!

Thanks & Regards,

Vinay Agarkhed

 

Dear all,

from a product management perspective I am very happy you raised the question on how ARIS shares process models with other BPMS (e.g. Pega). Currently we offer XPDL as an exchange format. In the SOA architect you find exporting facilities from EPC and BPMN into XPDL.

Within this year we will release a new BPMN2 export that will supersede XPDL as the primary exchange format to other BPMS.

Best regards

Katrina

Hi Katrina,

The BPMN2 export, will that be to a BPEL or XPDL file? I don't think that PEGA accepts XPDL imports yet - I know they take BPEL. Also, my research has led me to believe that XPDL is going to be the better format for this.

Damian

Hi Vinay,

Apologies, I have only just seen your post.

I have not been able to produce BPEL from BPMN in Aris Business Architect. This can be done from EPC but EPC was not designed for BPEL extracts so their is a 'loss in translation'. Hence, we have not been very successful with this roundtrip to PEGA.

Katrina,

by "new BPMN2 export", do you mean the serialisation as in BPMN2 specification?

(I'm sure that I'm among thousands of others hoping the answer is "yes". )

Kind regards,

Ivo

Damian: i understand the probelm with 'loss in translation', thanks for your inputs :)

Yes, here is the good news: we are developping a BPMN2-Export Interface.

Katrina was the new BPMN2 released? if yes does it support process model export to Pega, Lombardi, TIBCO via BPEL format?

Hi All...In my company we are starting Process Automation using Pega BPMS. EPC is in Aris. Please suggest how to import EPC into PRPC.

Hello all, this thread appears to be quite from last 1.5 year. Has anybody achieved ARIS-Pega translation successfully (even partial) yet? Thanks
