Configuration

Script administrators can use the file psmReportConfig.xml to adapt IT landscape macros and reports according to the relevant requirements. To open this file, click ARIS > Show Administration Administration > Evaluations Evaluations > Common files. The psmReportConfig.xml file controls:

  • which assignments are allowed and which items are selected in dialogs

  • optionally, the subgroup in which the group structure is created for the process support unit

  • optionally, symbols differing from the default (<PsmSymbols>)

  • optionally, symbol size differing from the default (<SymbolScaleFactor>)

To edit the file, open it in Administration and follow the instructions.

Once the configuration has been changed, IT landscape administrators can list invalid assignments using the IT landscape administration - Remove invalid assignments report and, if necessary, automatically delete them.

The configuration has the following default settings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <!-- IF not all OT should be possible just delete or empty the element -->
    <AST>
        <OT>OT_APPL_SYS_TYPE</OT>

        <!-- <AT>AT_SYSTEM_TYPE</AT>-->
        <!-- AVT can contain a list of possible Values separated by comma, if it contains -1 only objects
