DMN import allows you to input DMN model elements from XML files.
Adopting Decisions from Other Tools
What Can You Import?
The DMN import provides a means of adopting DMN model elements from other tools. Naturally, you can also import DMN model elements that were exported from Innovator.
You can import files that contain DMN data.
Decision tables with no business knowledge and the context in a business knowledge are not imported.
Extensions are stored in the specification text with the logical name "DMN extension".
For types, primitive types are created. Here, the use of primitive types from the profiles is preferred, e.g. all data types from FEEL are available as primitive types in the "FEEL Types" profile.
The sequence of the parameters in a decision follows the sequence of the inputs in the business knowledge model that is called.
Import Supports
There are two methods to help with import:
-
Import Wizard
Import ArchiMate files with settings you make using the wizard.
-
Your Own Import Configurations
Import ArchiMate files with settings which you have set up, tested and stored so that they can be reused in the application configurations.
Importing DMN Model Elements from an XML/a DMN File
Prerequisites
You can only import model elements defined by the DMN standard.
The files must comply with the XML schema definition.
You require a role with access rights for the model to be imported if you wish to import DMN data.
How to Proceed
You import DMN model elements from XML files that you have exported from Innovator or other tools.
UTF-8 is expected as the import encoding.
The wizard help will show you in detail how to proceed.
