This is to inform you that we just uploaded ARIS Express 2.2 to our servers. This update does not contain new features but important fixes. Have a look here for an overview.
If you already installed ARIS Express and are connected to the Internet, you only need to start the tool and it will update itself while you are working with it.
Since we also made fixes for certain symbols, I added the new filter and template for ARIS Business Architect to this post. Install the updated filter and template before importing any new models from ARIS Express into ARIS Business Architect.
I just like to remind you to our nice poster showing you the most important modeling constructs available in ARIS Express. Make sure to spread the word about this new ARIS Express release to all your colleagues, fellows and friends!
Bye,
Frank
Dear Frank:
It's a good new the upgrade of ARIS Express, but I have questions about how could I configurate the filter and template that you have added in this portal.
I only have the Express version, do I need the ARIS Platform to use this files?
Thanks
Alfredo.
Frank,
What will happen if I import the models using Express 2.2 without installing the new filters and templates?
I ask because I have created filters and templates specific to the restrictions we enforce for our database. The first time we imported models from Express into the database it changed the font on 1000+ models.
Thanks for replying, Frank
This is how I selected the object before press F7 (the linked file doesn't have an icon either, I tried both direct link file path and relative link file path none of them work)
hmm
Between the update and last time I use Aris Express (with link working), I re-installed Java Runtime Environment from JRE 1.6.0_20 32bit to 1.6.0_20 64bit
would it be the problem cause
This is probably because they are different objects between ARIS BA and Express. For example, Express uses the activity for its function object type whereas BA uses the function for its function object type. The function is not defined in the ARIS Express template. To make the functions look like the activities in ARIS Express, you have to select the object and under the object appearance menu, you have to change the symbol to activity.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
