Product managers and systems architects need complete visibility into their delivery chain to produce quality products without relying on manual workarounds. The integration between Aras and Enterprise Architect (EA) using OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) provides these stakeholders with rich traceability and enhanced transparency, boosting productivity for each team.
This bidirectional integration automatically synchronizes requirements, ensuring end-to-end visibility into all historical and current data for each user with full context in real time. This enables teams to make independent decisions based on the complete context of the data present within the ecosystem.
Let’s see how this works. The systems Architect begins by creating an element in Enterprise Architect, assigning it a name, and saving it. He proceeds to add priorities, leaves the status as “Proposed,” and provides a description. OpsHub Integration Manager supports rich text formatting, including bold, underline, italics, subscript, superscript, and more. For example, the description added in bold and bullet points will sync to Aras with the same formatting.
The systems architect updates the priority of the element from “Medium” to “High” and saves it. In this demo, the polling interval for OIM is set to one minute, so the Element and all its properties automatically synchronize to Aras. Navigating to Aras, the element is reflected as a requirement with all details, including the title, status, priority, remote ID, type, and the rich-text-formatted description.
Next, the product manager in Aras makes changes to the description, updates the status to “Approved,” lowers the priority to “Medium”, and saves the updates. These revisions bidirectionally sync back to Enterprise Architect.
Back in EA, the systems architect refreshes the page to see the updated element details. The revised description, including the third bullet point added in Aras, is visible under Notes. Under Tags, the remote ID of the Aras requirement and its remote link are displayed. In the Elements view, the updated status (“Approved”) and priority (“Medium”) are reflected.
This completes the demo. Thank you for watching!
