SAP Cloud ALM configuration
You can use ARIS with SAP® Cloud ALM. You model your processes and export them to SAP® Cloud ALM which is an application lifecycle management system.
Prerequisites
You have the Admin role.
You have the Configuration administrator function privilege.
To configure SAP® Cloud ALM:
To use ARIS as the leading BPM system to manage your business processes, you need to connect ARIS to a SAP® Cloud ALM destination. To use SAP® Cloud ALM, you must configure one or multiple SAP® Cloud ALM destinations if you want to connect to different SAP® Cloud ALM systems.
The SAP® Cloud ALM API is monolingual, all attributes are saved in one language. The export from ARIS uses the language with that the user has logged in.

In SAP® Cloud ALM it is not possible to change the name of an activity (a task in BPMN). If you have changed the name of an activity (task) in ARIS and export the change to SAP® Cloud ALM, an error message is logged.
To solve this problem, you can open the diagram in the SAP® Cloud ALM process authoring and delete the task manually. Thus, no renaming occurs and the diagram can be updated. You may need to replace the renamed task with a new definition in ARIS. This depends on the usage of the object definitions (occurrences, assignment). You can create a new object definition with the same name and consolidate the two definitions.
You can also de-select this option and the diagram is deleted in the corresponding diagram in SAP® Cloud ALM and a new diagram is created based on the given content. Note that in SAP® Cloud ALM, all relations in the diagram or content are lost.
Optional: Enable Consider requirements. This option enables the requirement support. If you enable this option, the option Consider obsolete requirements becomes visible. This option allows you to remove requirement relations that are no longer assigned in ARIS from a solution process in SAP® Cloud ALM. If you have a requirement exported to SAP® Cloud ALM they are assigned in ARIS and in SAP® Cloud ALM.
Optional: You can test the connection to SAP® Cloud ALM.
