FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 2/3

11

Is there an Active Directory integration?

 


An integration exists for Active Directory and LDAP for transferring data, authentication, and single sign-on.

12

Can business processes be modeled at different application levels with ARONTO?

 


Any number of levels can be freely defined.
For example: Order Management. Processes are layered automatically within the semantic information model based on the fixed assignment of data element and process.

13

Does ARONTO have a predefined set of standard functions that can be used in a variety of business processes? If so, which?

 


A standard process is provided for every business artifact supplied.
Various processes can be combined with one another in an individual application owing to ARONTO's modular structure. Choose from a library of more than 400 supplied artifacts.
Special requirements can be defined as a new artifact or created from an existing process-type artifact.

 

14

Which languages are supported by ARONTO for programming business logic?

 


Business logic is created directly with the aid of the interactive graphical designer. Business logic is used in this context for generating, modifying, and retrieving data, for process control, and for executing functions (e.g. sending e-mail). Ready-made services from corresponding repositories can be used. Individual specific rules can also be defined as JavaScript code within the modeler and stored for reuse in a suitable repository.

 

15

Can ARONTO be used in a fault-tolerant manner?

 


The fault tolerance variant depends on how the ontology model is defined.

 

16

Can activity diagrams be depicted with ARONTO?



The following diagram types are available in ARONTO:

  • Process flow diagrams

  • Transaction diagrams

  • Gantt diagrams

 

There is also an export interface to MS Project.

17

Can ARONTO model a product ontology?

 


ARONTO can model every enterprise ontology. Specialized or corporate vocabularies can be defined freely in the same way as languages. Adaptations and extensions of the ontologies are possible here at any time and without significant overhead.

 

As an example: To add a new application language to a comprehensive business application with several thousand general and technical terms, only the library of terms used has to be translated.

 

18

What does ARONTO understand by ontology?

 


An enterprise ontology is the abstraction of a common business model based on a vocabulary defined between a community of people in an enterprise (or part thereof). It covers static, kinematic, and dynamic aspects. The four domains of an enterprise are placed in a coherent context by means of an ontology.

What are the advantages of the ontological approach:

 

  • Clear presentation and reduction in complexity of information interrelationships by combining business contents and technical data management in a common context.
     

  • Improved collaboration and integration through consistent presentation of information on organizations, domains, and different environments.
     

  • Increased agility and flexibility through faster adaptation to real business world changes.

19

Can any CIs (Configuration Items) be depicted by ARONTO?

 


Every information element can be depicted with freely definable contents using artifact technology. The UI (user interface) is generated dynamically here by ARONTO in accordance with the requirement and definition of the respective content.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Relation of application and HW.

20

When defining dependencies, are resulting logical dependencies on other CIs generated automatically?

 


Inheritance of existing relationships is ensured owing to the object-oriented ontology approach. (see also question 19)
