for SAP HANA (SAP EA Designer) lets you capture, analyze, and present your organization's landscapes, strategies, requirements, processes, data, and other artifacts in a shared environment. Using industry-standard notations and techniques, organizations can leverage rich metadata and use models and diagrams to drive understanding and promote shared outcomes in creating innovative systems, information sets, and processes to support goals and capabilities. SAP EA Designer supports the creation and editing of the following kinds of diagrams: ● Business Process - Business process diagrams help you identify, describe, and decompose business processes. SAP EA Designer supports two variants of BPMN 2.0: ○ BPMN 2.0 Descriptive - Commonly used by process owners, BPMN 2.0 Descriptive is aimed at business users and contains a subset of the BPMN 2.0 objects suitable for business process design and analysis. See BPMN 2.0 Descriptive [page 121]. ○ BPMN 2.0 Executable - Commonly used by process implementers, BPMN 2.0 Executable includes all the standard BPMN 2.0 objects, and is aimed at technical modelers and those who are reverse- engineering from SAP BPM or Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler. See BPMN 2.0 Executable [page 134]. In addition, you can import process diagrams from and export updates to SAP Solution Manager 7.2. See Importing SAP Solution Manager 7.2 Process Diagrams [page 150]. SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, Edition for SAP HANA 6 PUBLIC SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, Edition for SAP HANA ● Conceptual Data - Conceptual data models help you design and analyze the conceptual structure of your information systems, to identify the principal entities to be represented, their attributes, and the relationships between them. See Conceptual Data [page 158]. ● Data Movement Diagram - Data movement diagrams help you design and analyze the transfer of data between data stores, and the transformations that they undergo on the way. You can reverse-engineer flowgraph files from and generate them to SAP Web IDE.
