Migrate from ARIS BPM to Celonis CPM

Hi ​@satyajit.saman12 ,

Yes., CPM has a built-in ARIS importer. It came across from Symbio, so under the hood it's the old AML import.

Short version: export your ARIS content as AML (XML), then in CPM go to gear icon > Administration > AML import and upload a mapping config file. Then Processes > Architecture > ARIS import, pick the XML plus your config. Imported processes land under Processes > Orphaned.

Two things that catch people out:

- On ARIS 9/10 the XML export comes out encrypted. You need the ARIS Access license extension assigned on top of Architect for the exporting user, otherwise the file is unreadable and the import won't get anywhere.
- Import into an empty database, unless you're sure the incoming GUIDs don't already exist in the target. Collisions cause consolidation problems on master data.

The config file is where the real work sits. It maps ARIS object and attribute types to CPM entities, and Celonis doesn't publish a template for it, so in practice this is a Celonis or partner conversation.

What ARIS version are you on, and are you moving just process models or the whole repository?
