Connect ARIS Process Mining to an SAP or a JDBC data source
Before you can extract data from a source system, such as an SAP system or a JDBC database, you must connect ARIS Process Mining with the source system. You create a connection to the source system with the secret key of the created system integration.
The following procedure is based on an SAP data source. The procedure for a JDBC database is much the same.
Click Connections in the Data set panel. The Connections section opens.
The section looks as follows if no connection has been created yet.
Click Add connection. If you add a connection to a source system for the first time and you have not assigned a 'Living Process' license to the data set yet, the Assign ‘Living Process’ license dialog opens.
Select a license in the drop-down menu. You need the ‘Living Process’ license to extract and analyze processes. The number of processes you can extract depends on the selected license.
Click Assign. The Add connection dialog opens.
Configure the connection.
Enter a unique name for the connection to the source system, for example, SAP system.
Select a system integration.
Select a source system in the drop-down menu. The menu contains only source systems provided by the selected system integration.
Enter the secret key of the selected source system. You find the secret key in the selected system integration in the System integration section of the administration.
Click Add.
Example
