Configure and activate connections
After the Process Extractor installation, you must configure the connections between Process Extractor and ARIS Process Mining and the connection between Process Extractor and the data source system. Process Extractor provides different configuration files to adjust the connection settings.
Note that you can configure only one connection type per Process Extractor installation, either to an SAP system or to a JDBC database. A Process Extractor installation can serve a number of connections to several source systems as long as they are of the same type of source system (several SAP source systems OR several JDBC databases).
After installation, you must register Process Extractor in ARIS Process Mining. ARIS Process Mining is then able to manage either SAP or JDBC connections. You use this registration to establish a connection between Process Extractor and ARIS Process Mining. This connection must be unique.
The UpdateProcessMiningConfiguration.json file contains the parameters to configure the connection to ARIS Process Mining.
The UpdateSourceSystemConfiguration.json file contains the parameters to configure the connection to the SAP source system or to configure the connection to a JDBC database.
You can use any text editor to edit the configuration files.
After you have configured the connection settings, you must activate the changed settings by running a CLI tools. Process Extractor will use the changed settings only after the activation.
For more configuration options, see the chapter Configure ARIS Process Mining system settings.
